- What sets me apart from other top inspectors is rather than spending 2-1/2 to 3 hrs. merely documenting the home's structure, systems, and components, and identifying deficiencies and potential problems; I focus upon teaching you about the home. Yes, it will be me, not a (surprise) employee, who will be serving you. Rather than simply enabling you to make informed decisions regarding your contract to purchase, I am enabling you to understand the specifics of your future home, which thereby enable me to teach you how to operate its systems most efficiently, reduce your energy costs, and how to maintain your home and protect your investment. You needn’t ask if you can accompany me and ask questions — I will arrive about an hour before you to set up my program, and document exterior conditions. Upon your arrival we will enter, conduct a detailed orientation, then inspect the home together. During which I’ll explain everything and answer any questions you may have. When we’ve completed inspecting, we’ll review the draft of the upcoming report, so you’ll know what issues will be in the report before we leave. Please be prepared to spent 4 hours with me. Why hire an inspector whose services merely meet Licensing and Certification minimum requirements which focus only upon protecting your contractual needs by identifying deficiencies and concerns? When for the same investment, you can participate in an LBI Education Inspection which in addition to providing you with a more comprehensive report, also teaches you all about the property, answers your questions, and provides a report created to serve as an informative manual similar to what is in the glove box of your vehicle.

"Beyond impressed by the knowledge Mark brings to the table when inspecting an older home. We spent 8 hours learning about a home we were looking to purchase; and with a gimlet eye inspection, he was honest with the concerns of the home, and was incredibly thorough with teaching you how that home was functioning. What was safe, what wasn't and more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND his services. It's a TON of information and your head will be swimming, but at the end you WILL know your answer. "

"Ditanyan Sye is an extraordinary educator who's truly passionate about teaching. I'm so impressed with his class that I felt compelled to write this review even before completing it. Coming from a completely different field, I was initially overwhelmed by the complex subject matter. However, Ditanyan's extensive background and expertise allow him to present even the most challenging concepts in a clear and engaging way. His classes are dynamic and interactive, a far cry from the monotonous "textbook reading" style. He challenges us to think critically and fosters an environment where every student actively participates. Navigating the dense textbook could be daunting, but Ditanyan masterfully breaks down the material, highlighting key points for both the exam and real-world application. He goes above and beyond, sharing invaluable insights on building a successful career as a home inspector - knowledge you won't find in any book or online. He even generously invites students to shadow him during actual inspections, providing unparalleled hands-on experience. It's evident that his home inspection clients are incredibly fortunate to have him. His thoroughness during inspections, coupled with his ability to explain complex findings in layman's terms, sets him apart. Not to mention, his rates are remarkably reasonable, offering exceptional value. Ditanyan's dedication and passion for teaching are truly exceptional, and he deserves the highest praise."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Inspectors working for the seller on pre-listing inspections can present a conflict of interest, so standard home inspections are usually hired and paid for by the buyer. If the buyer has some negotiating power, they might request that the seller cover the cost (by taking it off the asking price), but this varies on a case-by-case basis. When it comes to home appraisal costs and pre-listing inspections, the seller will naturally have to pay, as these are done before the home is left up for sale.

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

The small lines on the tape measure either indicate inches, fractions of an inch, or centimeters and millimeters. On the imperial unit side (aka the inches side), the longest lines indicate inches, followed by the next shortest lines that indicate a half-inch, and then the quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-inch. On the metric side, the lines break down meters, centimeters, and millimeters.

Typically, a home inspection takes about two to three hours, depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the layout, the various structures and features, the age of the home, and the condition of the home. During the hiring process, ask your potential home inspector to review the specifications of your home and provide an accurate time estimate for the service.

Yes. If a home inspection reveals that the property has major issues or is unsafe, the buyer can back out of the purchase.
