More Negotiating Power
So how are we different than the competition? Compare for yourself. We exceed the minimum Standards-of-Practice to give you more from your report than the average home inspector. Our reports provide more information, more detail, and give you more negotiating power. Our typical customers receive about 3 to 4 times the cost of the inspection in seller concessions or repairs. Sometimes much more! Watch this video to learn more.

Why It’s Important
A great report obviously identifies defects for you. These can be used by you to negotiate repairs or cash back at closing. Even if the house is “As-Is”, you may find that the cost of repairs is more than you expected.
Our reports go a little further. In addition to reporting on defects, we document a lot of functioning items in a house. This is extremely important if you make a claim under your home warranty. The home warranty companies often try to deny claims stating that they were pre-existing. Our reports can help you verify that items were functional, and thus get them to make repairs.
*You also receive an insurance information sheet which provides you with all the information that Insurance Agents often need to provide a quotation. It’s all summarized for you in the back of the report.
Face to Face Education
Unlike the vast majority of home inspection companies, we have an actual education center at our headquarters in Ramona, CA. We bring in local experts to regularly teach our home inspectors. Most other inspectors simply take online courses which are usually not specific to the Southern California Region. Each region of the U.S. has different building techniques. Houses in the Southeast are built to withstand hurricanes. Houses in the North are built to withstand cold and frost. In Southern California, we are concerned with seismic stability, specific pool safety items, Solar Systems, etc. Ask yourself where other home inspectors are obtaining their training and if it is specific to our climate. There’s nothing like an actual classroom with a local professional!
