Sellers, certify your home to make it more desirable to buyers.

We know that the single biggest compliment you can give us is a referral, so we are here to help you find the perfect home, which doesn't always happen on the first try.

The average cost of a single home is $350 for a one time inspection that takes approximately 45 minutes. Our thorough home inspection cost is not just for one property, we will inspect up to three properties during your search for a single cost of $250. A single inspection is $150 ($100 for condos under 500 SQ FT).

We check to make sure everything is in proper working order and will estimate the repair cost for items that will need to be replaced. For instance, a water heater may cost $175 to fix and up to $6,000 to replace. Another example is improperly installed flooring, it seems like an easy fix, but many times it cost nearly as much as a new install.
