Home Inspections: How It Works

Once the Buyer has decided which Home Inspection Company to use, I confer with the Buyer to see what day and time of day is going to be the most convenient for the Buyer. Then I call the Home Inspection company and see what days and times work for them.

Most Home Inspectors have the ability to get the house key out of the Supra Key Box. They use a special code that I get from the Listing Agent. Some Inspectors don't have a Supra. They rely on me to get access to the house. That is why I have to be the person who sets up the inspection time.

The Home Inspector gets out to the home at the appointed time. It takes them about 2 hours to do the inspection. The Buyer and I arrive at the home in time to get a report, after the inspection is finished. For example, it is common for the Inspector to arrive at 9 a.m. and give a report to the Buyer at 11 a.m.

The Home Inspector gives the Buyer a printed copy of the Inspection Report, with pictures usually. A copy of the report also gets e-mailed, usually.
