Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Forscher Property Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. With 17 years of inspecting and 9,000 inspections done, you will be provided with key information to assist you regarding your decision about the property, whether you are able to attend the inspection or not. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
We will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent and are always available to answer any questions you may have. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
