FAQs | Agave Inspections

What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a limited visual survey and basic performance evaluation of the systems and components of a building using normal controls that provides information regarding the general condition of a residence at the time of inspection. The inspection covers various aspects of the property, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC.

The goal of a home inspection is to identify any potential issues or defects that may affect the property's value or safety. The inspection report allows the buyer to make an informed decision about their purchase and potentially negotiate any repairs or pricing with the seller. For a seller, the inspection may be useful in making repairs prior to listing to ensure your listing is competitive.

I am buying a new home, should I still have it inspected by a home inspector?

Yes. Although new homes go through the process of code inspections by the municipality it is built in, we constantly find systems and components on new houses that are not up to industry standards. Our inspections are independent from any builders, and we only accept work for clients who are buyers and sellers of real estate. We have no third-party interests.

The house I want was recently renovated, should I still have it inspected by a home inspector?

Yes. Many renovated homes have serious defects that occurred directly from the renovation and the home's previous condition that is often obscured.

Can I attend the home inspection?

Yes. We do however find that many clients prefer to come at the end of the inspection to go over the findings. During the inspection, the inspector will be busy evaluating the systems and the inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the size of the house.

When will I receive the report?

You will receive the report electronically via email within 24hrs of the completion of the inspection. Payment must be completed prior to receiving the report.
