Pre-Listing Inspections

For Sellers and Selling Realtors; No one likes to be caught off guard, especially when they are selling their biggest asset!  Preparing your home for listing with a thorough inspection is the smartest move you can make.

Why wait for buyers to uncover potential issues?  Take charge of the selling process by addressing any deficiencies beforehand. By doing so, you can navigate repair negotiations with confidence and avoid the frustration of last-minute fixes and closing delays.

An easy-to-understand detailed report from Shoreline Home Inspections will help you get the most out of your investment. 

New Home and Warranty Inspections

Even brand-new homes benefit from inspections. It's essential to ensure every detail is in order before finalizing your new home purchase. That's why we recommend a professional inspection before the builder's walk-through.

Don't wait until issues arise after moving in—schedule an inspection while your new home is still under warranty. Our experienced inspectors will meticulously examine your home's structure, mechanical systems, and electrical components for any defects or potential problems.

The New Home Warranty typically covers most issues for the first 12 to 24 months. However, to take full advantage of this coverage, it's crucial to identify and document any issues before the warranty expires. Unfortunately, many defects go unnoticed by homeowners, who may not have the expertise to recognize them. That's where our knowledgeable home inspectors come in.

Don't let overlooked defects become costly problems down the line. Trust our team to provide a thorough inspection and help you make the most of your new home investment.
