Pre-Purchase Home Inspections

Peace of Mind for the Home Buyer

Pre-purchase home inspections are vital for a potential home buyer. When used as a contingency in a purchase contract, they can save you from a home purchase that could have potentially cost you thousands of dollars, and provide you with more information to make an informed decision about the largest investment you will most likely make in your lifetime.

In a pre-purchase home inspection, a professional home inspector will examine the home’s condition and provide you a detailed report of their findings. This comprehensive report discloses any defects that may affect safety, livability, or resale value.

 

Before Closing on a Home, Schedule a Home Inspection.

Pre-Listing Home Inspections

Vital Information for the Seller

Negotiations based around repairs and issues that come up during the contract phase usually cost the seller multiple of what it would actually cost to repair the issues themselves. Not only that, but repairs take time and that time could potentially keep you from buying your new home.

 

Pre-listing home inspections let you get ahead of the game and be informed before you list your home.

Performed by a professional, licensed home inspector, a pre-listing home inspection will give you a comprehensive report of potential safety issues, maintenance that needs to be performed, and a way in which to keep the selling price closer to your asking price.

 

Do not let a surprise problem delay or stop the sale of your home.

Rachel Southerland

“We moved into our house about 6 months ago so I feel like I can give an accurate review! We had so much peace of mind purchasing our home after Desmond came out to inspect, walked us through and showed us areas with concerns and then provided us an email with a detailed summary of the inspection so we could address the problem areas with the sellers before closing with no guesswork since we had seen it first hand and had it on paper as well. I recommend him to everyone I know that is purchasing a home! This is an expense when buying a house that you won’t second guess or regret!”

Travis Henry

“Great experience! The report was timely and detailed. Desmond was also very thorough and willing to take time to answer any questions I had!”

Brad Smith

“He went over and above to satisfy me! After the homeowner had left the basement access locked, Desmond came back 2 days later to finish inspection.”

Tiffany Napier

“Desmond made the home inspection process so easy and smooth. He answered the first time I called and was able to come the very next day. He walked my husband and me through the entire process. He was able to answer all our questions with confidence. I would recommend Thornton Home Inspections to anyone. I wouldn’t do business with anyone else.”

Adrienne Domaszek

“It was great. I called Friday afternoon needing an inspection for Saturday. Desmond was able to get me scheduled and the inspection was great as well. He didn’t get frustrated with any of my many questions and he explained things to me in layman terms I was able to understand. And to top it all off he made sure to get me the report the same day as well. I appreciate everything he was able to do for me.”

Tina Long

“Desmond came on a moment’s notice to help us with our home inspection. Although we have lived in our home for over 10 years, he pointed out many things that could help us maintain our home for many, many years. He’s professional, courteous, and very good at what he does. I would never buy a house, sell a house, or remodel without Desmond. Thank goodness our banker recommended Desmond! Trust is hard to find. We are blessed!”

Tanessa Crisp Warner

Desmond is on point with his way of inspecting. He goes by the guidelines. He told us everything that needed to be done to the house we were looking at. Unfortunately, we didn’t go through with purchasing the property. I would recommend Thornton Home Inspections to anyone!

Jena Brown

“He was not only thorough but he was also very knowledgeable and offered multiple preemptive suggestions on maintenance or upgrades. He was honest, and upfront and gave us a great bit of things to watch for or think about over the next several years. We would highly recommend him to anyone buying a new home and wanting to get the most informative report possible!”
