Once a contract has been submitted, we want to schedule a home inspection asap. It can always be cancelled if we can’t come to terms on the contract. We are happy to help facilitate the scheduling but the inspectors you use are up to you. The 2 inspection companies that our clients use most often are:
Axium Inspections (972) 430-5681 https://www.axiuminspections.com/
HSDI (303) 773-6102 https://www.hsdi.us/
Ideally, the inspection should occur within the next 2-3 days, however, during the busy summer months, inspectors may be booked out up to a week or more in advance. It’s important that the home inspection occur quickly as it often takes the inspector 1-2 days to write the report after the inspection. Once the report is written we still need some time to review the report and ask the seller for any credits or repairs before the Inspection review period ends.
Plan to attend the inspection which will take approximately 2 hours for a condo and 3 hours for a single family home. Inspectors usually only work Mon – Fri and do not work evenings or weekends. We will be at the inspection with you. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes in the case the inspector wants to show you something in the basement, on the roof, etc.
