Pre-Offer Review, Evaluation, and Consultation

Home Buyers are competing hard to get their home purchase offer accepted. Buyers are making offer after offer, and accepting more liability along the way. Many buyers agree to waive traditional contingencies, such as a home inspection!

We would like to introduce a useful strategy for home buyers during these unusual times! By working with your Realtor, contact our office the moment you have selected a home to potentially purchase, and one of our licensed inspectors can be with you to offer a quick understanding of the home.

We refer to these consultations as a “Pre-Offer Review, Evaluation and Consultation” or a “Walk & Talk” and are not an extensive home inspection. The appointment time usually averages about 90 minutes. The five major points of the structure reviewed and evaluated include the foundation/crawlspace, roof, attic, exterior, and limited evaluation of the electrical panel. Walks & Talks are a time saving, low-cost option when a full home inspection is not possible. Due to extremely limited time and nature of the consultation, these evaluations do not include a written report or photos, so it is good for you and your Realtor to bring a notebook to write down any findings. This will allow you both to discuss your options, with at least a basic understanding of the home you will consider purchasing.

Please give us a call so we can help you jump start your home purchasing process and be successful! We look forward to working with you!
