Too many people think of home inspections as tools for homebuyers only. An inspection is a critical part of any home purchase - I’d never advise anyone to buy a home without one - but I’m here to tell you that inspections are as useful for sellers as they are for buyers.

Like the doctor who is a general practitioner examining a patient, the home inspector examines the home to assess its condition and health. If a serious problem is discovered, the inspector brings this to the attention of the customer and may recommend a specialist.

A home inspection, also known as a building inspection or a property inspection, is a thorough visual assessment of a home conducted by a certified professional home inspector at a specific point in time. While a home may be inspected for many reasons, most home inspections occur before a home is sold, to reveal any issues that might become problems for the buyer. A home seller may also choose to have a home inspection done prior to listing a property in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises during negotiations. A home inspection will typically include a walk-through tour of the house, in which the condition of the property is closely scrutinized, any defects and deficiencies are noted, and recommendations for repair are made. During the home inspection, the inspector will look for any problems that could have a significant impact from a health and safety perspective or purely from a financial standpoint.

Honesty, justice, and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated with mutual interest among people, constitutes the foundation of ethics. This is our companies philosophy which has helped us become one of the Premier inspection companies in Barrie ON.

There is no one background that fully trains an individual for all the different conditions that may exist in a home. And even in areas where licensing exists, many programs fall short. Regardless of their technical background or licensing, all home inspectors should be formally trained/certified to perform a home inspection by an organization such as InterNachi, North Americas biggest home inspection association and training organization.

Whenever possible, you should be present. The inspector can review with you the results of the inspection and point out any problems found. Usually the inspection of the home can be completed in two to three hours (the time can vary depending upon the size and age of the dwelling). The Home Inspector must give you a written report of the home inspection within three business days after the inspection is performed (unless otherwise stated in your contract with the Home Inspector). The home inspection report is your property. The Home Inspector may only give it to you and may not share it with other persons without your permission.
