The WALK Consult is for those potential home buyers or investors who have not yet bid, entered into a contract, or are not yet in escrow --- those potential buyers who have only their time and no money tied to the new home.
The WALK Consult saves you the time of making a purchase offer, investing earnest money, and having a home inspection, only to find that there are too many problems to deal with. You then have to fight and/or wait for days, weeks, or possibly months to retrieve your earnest money so you can start the process all over again.
With my WALK Consult, I visit the property with you and look at all the major items that all buyers are interested in: roof, foundation, structure, fireplace/chimney, electrical, plumbing, and some major appliances (water heater, heating and cooling). It is truly a visual inspection with absolutely no tools or testing involved.
If a WALK Consult detects more major problems than you would like to deal with, you walk away and look for another property. No hassle with contracts, earnest money, etc.
My base fee for a WALK Consult is $79.00. If I'm there longer than 45 minutes, the fee increases by $49.00 for each half hour There is no pre-inspection agreement and no written report for the WALK Consult.
Of course, if I find no major problems with the house during the walk through and you decide to make a purchase offer, your FULL Home Inspection cost will be discounted by the amount of the WALK Consult fee.
I am on-site for about 4 - 5 hours (usually), then I return to my home office. I use the rest of that day to study any photographs I have taken during the inspection, to research code and best practices particular to what I observed at the inspection, and to draft the most usable report I can. You should get the report the next morning via e-mail.
My fees start at $349.00 for a 2000 square foot home that is less than 50 years old and less than 55 miles from my home-office. You can call for an exact quote.
The System Inspection is just that. If you do not want the Full Inspection and are just concerned about a single or a few major systems, you can order the System Inspection.
I can inspect the Roof, HVAC, Plumbing, Exterior, Decks, Crawlspace, etc. Again, I will return to my home office to draft and compile the report. You should receive your e-mail copy of the report later that same day.
System Inspections sart at $99.00. For each additional system to be inspected, add $99.00.
