Virtual Inspections
Originally started at the onset of Covid-19, we have continued the offer to virtually inspect your property if you do not wish or can not attend the inspection. Using an app on your phone you can interactively follow along with the inspection live while it's being completed or watch the inspection video clips whenever it's convenient for you. Click here to see video samples.
A Note about some of our Ancillary inspections:
Some of our ancillary inspections are referred to trusted outside companies with whom we have done business for years. They are not our sub-contractors and, as such, their work is independent of ours. This has worked well for us for over a decade and helps create a one-stop shop and trust chain for you. If you would like to discuss this with us feel free to do so.
Pre-offer Consultations "Walk and Talks"
The current housing market is difficult for buyers. The process of finding a home, placing a bid, and losing it to other buyers can happen more easily now than in recent years. A home inspection is ALWAYS the best way to go even if for information purposes only. But if you're absolutely certain that your offer will not be accepted if you do not waive inspections we have another option that may help. For a reduced fee, we can come with you when you visit the home on a showing and can provide useful and accurately directed assistance by quickly surveying the most important systems in the home so you can make a more informed choice about whether or not to place a bid. Just ask us about this and we can explain it further.
Old Homes
There are a great many homes in Southeastern PA that have reached their centennial age. Some are much older. These homes are beautifully built and often well maintained, sometimes as a requirement of historic districts. Some are not and require a trained eye to decipher what is "character" and what is defect. Old homes are unique, built before modern day building codes, and require a specific knowledge of methods of construction and an eye for materials that are no longer being used and sometimes may be unsafe. Not only do we specialize in these homes, we enjoy inspecting them!
