Pets: We are a huge fan. We like them. And even love them. However sometimes they don’t always feel the same way about us. But we totally understand. We are new to them... and they like you a lot. We wouldn’t expect anything less. Or perhaps they are over eager in their curiosity. We have learned over time that the best way to serve you while conducting your inspection report is to keep your pets in a secure area separate from our movement around and through the home. If it’s helpful, we can pace our progress to switch environments with your pet(s) to enable their comfort and freedom.

What you are buying from us is our professional opinion about the property being inspected. This opinion is based on a time specific and limited visual inspection. What is hidden, non-accessible, or apt to happen over time is not within the scope of the inspection. Our pledge is to perform the best inspection available in the market while refusing to cut corners or rush through your inspection.

Is there a requirement to fix all deficient items found in the Inspection Report?
No. Sellers are not obligated to fix deficient items found in an inspection report, unless the repair of those items are required by law, or there is wording in the contract outlining the obligation of repairs by the seller.

It is up to you to decide if you would like to proceed with the purchase of said property.
