Step 1: Schedule Your Inspection

Booking is easy! https://thehomeinspectors.com/scheduleanappointment

Step 2: Confirm Your Appointment: After scheduling, you’ll need to sign the agreement and pay a deposit of $350 within the first two hours to confirm your appointment. Please do not make an appointment until the time is verified and confirmed with all parties involved.

Why do we do this: We are in demand and our schedule is typically full. We have had cancellations at the last minute. This harms our inspectors, and our company. We want everyone involved to have some "skin in the game". We do have a cancellation policy explained below. We do enforce this policy.

Cancellation Policy:

Less than 48 hours notice: $175 of the deposit will be retained.

Less than 24 hours notice: $350 of the deposit will be retained.

Payment Options:

Preferred Methods: Zelle or Venmo (no fees for you or us).

Credit Cards: Accepted, but a 4% transaction fee will be added to cover processing costs.

We don’t want to pay these fees, and we don’t want you to pay them either. We encourage using Zelle or Venmo.

Step 3: Attend the Inspection: This portion is not mandatory, but you are not getting the full value of our service if you do not attend. Being there and seeing things with your own eyes allows you to understand the issues better. Clarifying the issues and making sure you understand the ramifications is also important. We will give you our opinions, but you are ultimately responsible for the property. You want to know what is the condition of the your new property. This business is not black and white. Everything is opinionated. But the only opinion that matters is yours. It's your decision. You want to make a good decision. The best way to do that is with good information. The more you know = The better decision you make.

Step 4: Make Final Payment and Read the Report: The balance does change as we go through the inspection. You may be removing, or adding, services to the order. This will be discussed with your on site inspector and you will know what the balance will be at the end of the on-site portion. The report is usually written the same day and delivered that evening. Please confirm with your inspector. Late starts and long reports sometimes cause the inspector to deliver it the next morning. You need to know when the report will be delivered. The report will not be released until final payment is made.

Step 5: Schedule the Follow Up Interview: This 1.5 hour online meeting is extremely valuable to you. We record this meeting, use AI to take notes, and send you the recording and the notes after it is done. The process is overwhelming and you are being forced to rush every step of the way. This is the time to take a step back and have a sincere discussion with another one of our inspectors about the issues in the home. We start with the 2, or 3, items that gave you discomfort. We focus on the severity of the issues, we provide you links to, and show you how to use free cost calculators to get base prices for repairs. We show you our list of contractors that we know do quality work and won't gouge our clients. If you took the time to read our reviews; you will see that many people comment on valuable this is. There is no upcharge for this service.

Step 6: Judge Us Publicly: We want all of our clients to judge us. The entire reason for the photo upload discount is to "Plant The Seed" to judge us when all is said and done. No pressure, no hounding, and no worries if you choose to keep your thoughts private. We know that people choose us based on our reviews and the way we put our clients before all. We know we go way overboard for our clients. We just want to keep the reviews consistent.
