Standard Resale Inspections

Buying a home is the biggest investment most of us ever make. This requires the expert assistance of an experienced and qualified home inspector.

What is a Standard Resale Home Inspection?

A standard resale home inspection is a visual examination of the major systems and components of a home under contract during a real estate transaction.

The word "visual" is very important in terms of describing what a home inspection actually is. No invasive or destructive actions are taken during the course of a standard home inspection.

The law in the State of Georgia defines a home inspector as "any person, except an employee of a county, municipality, or political subdivision while engaged in the performance of the duties of his or her employment, who, for consideration, inspects and reports on the condition of any home or single family dwelling or the grounds, roof, exterior surface, garage or carport, structure, attic, basement or crawlspace, electrical system, heating system, air conditioning system, plumbing, on-site sewage disposal, pool or hot tub, fireplace, kitchen, appliances, or any combination thereof for a prospective purchaser or seller."

Home inspection is a unique discipline requiring special training, knowledge, and communication skills that differ substantially from those of other building professions. I perform all home inspections according to the Standards of Practice of GREI of America.
