Expert Home Inspectors in Blue Springs, MO

A home inspection is a way to get a handle on the current status of a home from an unbiased, experienced professional. No home is perfect. When you are about to buy or sell a home, you need to know the current condition of each mechanical and structural system. We visually inspect all areas of the home from the roof to the basement, and everything in between, because we understand how it all works. We identify potential problems that could affect a buyer's decision, or hold up a seller's listing, and provide a thorough detailed report.

No home is perfect, and even new construction need a professional inspection. Our team often finds significant issues with new construction and can also spot potential problems early, while they are still easy to correct. It is especially valuable to arrange an inspection before the interior walls are finished, so we may look for problem areas where a builder may have taken a shortcut or not completed quality work.

We understand that the real estate process can be costly. We also understand clients are often juggling the expense of appraisals, furniture, closing costs and much more. However, it is CRITICAL to not look at the home inspection as just another cost or as optional. Because a house is one of the largest purchases you will ever make, you need to know as much as possible about your investment. We can provide you with objective information to decide if this investment is a good or bad one. Some homes we inspect only have minor repairs and are in great shape. Others have major issues like foundation cracks or exterior issues that could cost thousands of dollars in repairs. It is best to know the condition of your investment before you close, and it is too late.

No house is going to be perfect and it is up to you to decide what issues the inspection uncovers that might affect your decision to purchase. If major problems are discovered, you can try negotiating with the seller to complete repairs before closing. In addition, the seller may lower the price or offer more favorable contract terms. In the end, the decision rests with you, but knowing about potential problems, before you buy, gives you the power to negotiate and make the best decision. It is never our goal for a deal to fall through because of home inspection findings, but it may be in the best interest for a buyer at that time. Initially, it might seem like a waste of money to have a home inspection on a house you do not end up buying, but look at it as an investment towards saving you money in the long run. Homeowners who have passed on their first house because of home inspection findings, often find a better listing with fewer problems and are thankful in the end for their initial inspection.

The code of ethics of The American Society of Home Inspectors prohibits members from doing repair work on properties we inspect. This ensures there will never be any conflict of interest by the home inspector. Our purpose is to provide an unbiased, objective third party report on the condition of the home. We can, however, provide a list of Nick's Trusted Partners who can complete any work needed.
