FAQs

An average home inspection in Texas can cost anywhere from $300-$550 or more, depending on several factors. Factors that can determine the inspection fee range from home size, home age, and home location, just to name a few.

It’s important to note you get what you pay for. Redfin reported the median home price in DFW at $387,000 in September of 2021. With such a large investment, ensure you’re getting all the information about the home’s current condition before committing to the purchase by hiring a qualified home inspector.

This affiliation allows us to offer exclusive programs like the Buy-Back Guarantee and the Honor Guarantee to assure Home Buyers their report will come from a qualified inspector and feel confident in their decision. 

Because a home is a big purchase, many Home Buyers want to ensure they are doing due diligence before signing any paperwork. 

Without a certified professional Home Inspector, it may be easy for Home Buyers to overlook major issues that impact livability and the value of the home.

While an inspection doesn’t guarantee the home’s condition, it can help Home Buyers prepare for the unexpected, negotiate their asking price, and decide whether they want to move forward with the purchase.

Think of a home warranty as insurance that may cover certain repairs to appliances, plumbing, electrical systems, as well as heating and air. While they can protect the home buyer, a home warranty may be offered as a part of a deal and may come with limitations and exclusions. 

A home inspection reports a comprehensive picture of the condition of the house and inspects non-mechanical and structural components that may not be offered in a home warranty. Knowing these issues ahead of time gives home buyers power to negotiate repairs, purchase price, and save themselves from headaches down the road should they decide to buy. 

Depending on the house size, standard inspections range between 3 to 4 hours. A thorough, detailed inspection takes time, but you can expect your report delivered on the same day. 

Homebuyers are not required to attend the inspection. However, we recommend attending so the homebuyer can get the most value from their inspection. Homebuyers can observe the inspector and ask questions throughout the process. This can help get a better understanding of the condition of the home and how to maintain it.

A home inspector does not pass or fail a house. An inspection will describe the house's physical condition and explain what components/systems may need repair or replacement. A home inspection is not an appraisal and will not determine the home's market value.

Every house has its kinks. The inspector will inform the homebuyer of the deficiency and severity of the defect. Homebuyers should be fully aware of any issues, risks, or health concerns that may impact the purchase decision. The inspector won't tell the clients if they should buy the house or not, but instead, help the homebuyer understand the full cost of ownership. If major problems are found, homebuyers can negotiate with the seller to make repairs or cover their costs
