🏠 For Home Buyers

Pre-Purchase Home Inspections

Know exactly what you're buying. A complete, top-to-bottom inspection led by a Certified Master Inspector, with a detailed report within 24 hours.

The Inspection Every Buyer Needs

A pre-purchase home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of the home's accessible systems and components, from the roof to the foundation, following the Florida Standards of Practice. It's led by Clay Schleitwiler, CMI®, a Florida Licensed Home Inspector (#HI4562) with a construction background, and his team has completed more than 7,000 inspections since 2011.

You're welcome to walk along as your inspector evaluates the roof, structure, exterior, attic, electrical, plumbing, water heater, heating and cooling, and interior. You'll receive a detailed report with photos, typically the same day, written without technical jargon and organized to help you set priorities for repairs.

A Florida Home Can Hide a Lot

Florida homes face Florida conditions: intense sun on roofs, heavy rain, high humidity, hurricane winds, and air conditioning that runs most of the year. Aging roofs, water intrusion, worn-out AC equipment, and outdated electrical panels are common findings that buyers can't see on a showing.

Clients regularly tell us their report paid for itself, from sellers replacing a rusted water heater to hidden electrical problems found before closing. Because most purchase contracts include a short inspection period, we work to schedule quickly and deliver your report fast.
