The things I see..

I'm really not sure what would have been more difficult, building concrete foundation forms around a tree stump or actually removing the tree stump (while the excavator was there digging anyway) to pour a proper footer and foundation wall.

I'll tell you the latter option is the only proper one. But nonetheless here you have for your viewing pleasure, a foundation wall poured around a stump.

This is the sort of fun you can miss out on when you waive your home inspection. Can you say termites?

Don't miss out on all the fun!

I love hearing when clients take all my recommendations seriously. An overheating dryer is a common find and can be caused by several things. Sadly this is one finding that is often overlooked and many people even roll their eyes at. The consequence however can be a fire hazard.

Thankful my clients were able to find and fix the problem!

Meeting the housing market where it is! 🏠🔥

Yeah, "it's a hot market" doesn't even do justice anymore.🌡️ Some buyers are choosing to make huge sacrifices to get to the closing table. One of those sacrifices, is waiving inspections. Yeah, it's that bad. 🤦🏻‍♂️

For those taking that risk, a Post Closing Inspection is for you. An inspection will inform you of defects, safety hazards, necessary repairs, and maintenance recommendations on the home you just purchased. If you can't know before you buy, at least know before moving in.✔️✔️

I had the cutest little apprentice help on my morning inspection! She helped test receptacles, looked for cracks in windows, walls, and ceilings, and tested all the kitchen cabinets and drawers (that she could reach 😂) She even identified electrical defects after learning how to use the receptacle tester! ⚡⚡

Then I treated her to Hotdogs and water ice at Jersey Water Ice on 11th Street! Go see Darren and tell him I sent you! It's definitely one of our go to spots now! 🌭

The note left Thursday said the "plumber will fix it soon". This is what was found at the Re-Inspection Monday after completion of repairs. Use caution in taking a sellers word regarding completed repairs or even work performed.

Incomplete repairs, unaddressed repairs, or new defects resulting from work performed are regularly discovered at Re-Inspections.

You want to make sure the work has been performed by a licensed and qualified contractor and that the repairs have then been tested for function and defect by a professional prior to closing. This would not have been a fun thing to discover had my clients waived a Re-Inspection.

How often do you go into your crawlspace❓The answer is likely "Almost never." Crawlspaces conceal defects and keep homeowners ignorant of potentially major issues that breed other major issues.

These were two of FOUR leaks in a single crawlspace. The others were toilets 🤢 💩

Leaks lead to mold, which leads to rot, which can lead to settlement. 🏚️

This is an occupied home.. what's in your home?

A roofie (roof selfie) with great views to cap off another week of inspections. I'm thankful for the opportunity to work with so many great clients and realtors in our beautiful valley!

Y'all this attic was hot! 🔥It was only 85 degrees outside today. How hot do you think this attic will be in a month?🌡️

Not only does a poorly ventilated attic cause your utility bill to skyrocket as your air conditioning battles the heat, it reduces the life of your shingles, causes excessive stress on HVAC systems, can cause condensation and consequently moisture damage and mold, and can cause severe dehydration for your inspector! 🥵

Imagine how much money this home owner could have saved if they had invested in a home inspection to tell them how they can improve their home's efficiency with proper attic ventilation. 🏠💲

Inspections aren't just for real estate transactions. A home inspection can identify potential costly or hazardous defects, but can also inform you of basic maintenance and upgrades that can improve the overall well being if your home!

Homeowners, inspections are for you!

This is the BIGGEST nest I have ever seen. This was in a condo attic at the lake, so I'm assuming at one time an Osprey or Eagle had a way into the attic and made this nest. For reference, that's a 2x4 in the middle of the nest.

🏠PRE-OFFER CONSULTATION🏠

As a result of the cutthroat market, prospective buyers are waving inspections and making huge investments with no idea what they are buying.🏚️🤦🏻‍♂️🏚️

With a Pre-offer Consultation you can know more about what you're buying before you make an offer. With a "walk-and-talk" format during your viewing time, we can identify some of the major defects that may cause you to consider other properties or prepare you to address the issues after you buy.👍💯

Adapt to the current circumstances and get a head start above the rest of the buying competition. Make a well informed decision on the purchase of your next home with a Home Inspection or a Pre-offer Consultation!

Why should you get a home inspection? Because most people give up when they see the clock and fail to notice the boots, piggy bank, pony tails, and ink pen. Are there more? As an inspector, my job is to find the rest of the things you didn't see at first.

The hysteria surrounding the current housing market may scare you into making decisions that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

Whether you're buying a house "as is" for over asking price or somehow found a steal, do yourself a favor and make a well informed decision on the purchase of your next home. Use your due diligence period to get inspections: home, well, septic, pest, radon, mold, energy, EMF, soil.. there's no shortage of inspections to learn just about anything you could possibly want to know about a home.
