Purchasing a home may be one of the largest investments you'll ever make. Whether your buying, selling or investing in real estate, you should always hire an unbiased, independent, experience certified InterNachi inspector.

What Is a Home Inspection?

A home Inspection is a visual examination of the structural and systems of the home. ORI will make sure that you know and understand every fact about the property.

What Really Matters

Buying a home can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give your clients peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. Your clients will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, checklist, photographs, environmental reports and what the inspector himself says during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what your clients notice themselves makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do? Tell them to relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:

1.Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.

2.Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.

3.Things that may hinder your client's ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.

4.Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).

Inspected once, inspected right. ®
