The purchase of a home or commercial building is one of the largest investments you’ll ever make. Because it’s such a significant commitment, it’s important to understand the current condition of the property — along with any repairs or maintenance that may be needed in the future.
A professional home inspection provides buyers with a clear picture of the property’s condition. Things aren’t always as they appear, and if you’re selling, scheduling an inspection before listing your home can help identify and address potential concerns. In addition to residential assessments, we also specialize in commercial inspections
.
An inspection is a visual examination of the structure and the systems of a building. If you are thinking of buying a home, condominium, mobile home, or commercial building, you should have it thoroughly inspected by an experienced and impartial professional before the final purchase. When you choose CalPro to do the evaluation, you can rest assured that our certified inspectors are the best in the industry.
Buyer Inspections
The best time to schedule an inspection is directly after you have made an offer on a property. The real estate contract usually allows for a grace period to inspect the building. Ask your real estate agent to include this inspection clause in the contract, making your purchase obligation contingent upon the findings of a professional inspection.
Seller Inspections
A pre-listing inspection is a great start if you're planning on listing your home for sale. Don’t let hidden flaws derail a sale or cause you to drop your asking price. An inspection from a certified CalPro home inspector can save you time and money by revealing the hidden defects in your home — before prospective buyers come for a tour. Remediate the problems on your own time and list your home, confident of the asking price.
Unfortunately, home inspectors in California are not legally required to be licensed or certified. This means some inspectors may lack the qualifications or experience needed. All of our inspectors, however, are licensed, insured, and certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). With extensive certifications and credentials, our team is among the most qualified in the industry.
In California all inspections should be performed to the standards adopted by InterNACHI. To become a member, an inspector must pass a written examination to prove their competency. InterNACHI and other professional training and certifying agencies train and certify their members through rigorous classroom and field testing. Moreover, InterNACHI inspectors must participate in continuing education courses to maintain their certifications and memberships. InterNACHI-Certified Professional Inspectors® adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards of practice.
A typical inspection will take from two to three hours, depending on the size and features of the home.
