Buyer and Pre-Listing Inspections
In a residential or commercial real estate transaction, whoever gets the inspection first, has the upper hand in negotiations. If sellers order inspections prior to listing the property, they are then able to fix any defects on their timetable and are able to shop around for the best pricing. If a buyer orders a home inspection first, the buyer then has negotiating power with the ability to ask for price adjustments, remediation, or cancelation of the offer based on the inspection report.

Mold Testing & Indoor Air Quality
Every home inspection includes a free visual mold assessment. If warranted, homeowners can then purchase in-depth mold testing to reveal if remediation is needed. Make sure your home is safe for your family.
Learn MoreThermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is just one example of the state-of-the-art equipment that we use in our home inspection services. Thermal imaging makes use of infrared cameras to scan a home or building for fluctuations in temperatures. Temperature differences can indicate the possible presence of moisture (leaks) in a building that isn’t visible to the naked eye. Not all inspection companies use this technology because it is expensive. It’s another way we take care of our clients.

Aerial Roof Inspections
When it comes to a roof inspection, at The Real Estate Inspection Company, we know that it’s simply not effective to inspect a roof from a ground-only view. It’s especially difficult when homes are situated close together with little space for maneuvering ladders and other equipment. We’ve found the perfect solution. We utilize custom high-resolution pole cameras that allow us to inspect roofs safely, thoroughly, and completely. We’re able to make an accurate assessment of the roof and note repair recommendations.
Learn MoreRepair Quote
At The Real Estate Inspection Company, we help take care of one of the most stress-inducing parts of a real estate transaction: getting repair quotes and scheduling remediation during the short timeframe of escrow. Our affiliation with TheQwikFix allows you to simply click on a link embedded in your report email, and you can request a quote and even repairs. It’s that easy.
Learn MoreCommercial Property Assessments
When purchasing a commercial property, make sure you have it thoroughly evaluated with our property condition assessment. We will note items that need immediate attention as well as point out deferred maintenance that will require capital investment in the future.
