What to Expect from Your Home Inspection

Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Talking Walls Home Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call me.  I have a thorough, multi-point checklist for the inspection process. I explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after the inspection is complete, taking care to point out any defects found.

As a licensed home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn.

After we walk through the home together, we can talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in my  easy-to-read Spectora report, that will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you’ll be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
