A buyer home inspection is a complete visual evaluation of the property you are under contract on, performed before your inspection contingency expires. Your inspector walks the roof, attic, crawlspace or basement, electrical panel, plumbing, HVAC, and every accessible room — then delivers a photo-documented report you can act on, negotiate with, or walk away over.
Most single-family inspections take 2–4 hours on site depending on the home's size, age and condition. You are encouraged to attend the final walk-through so the inspector can show you findings in person.
Yes, at least for the last hour. Seeing issues in person — and learning where shutoffs, panels and filters are — is worth more than any report page.
Nearly every inspection finds something. Your report becomes a negotiation tool: request repairs, ask for credits, re-price, or exit under your contingency. Your agent will help you decide which findings actually matter.
