There are several good home inspectors in this area. Wise Counsel, however, has taken a number of important steps, to put together a unique package dedicated to providing a thorough and objective evaluation of houses about to become homes.

1. A Pre-Inspection Agreement gives you full disclosure of what to expect. – Before you spend one minute or one dime with a Wise Counsel inspector, this document provides you with a full understanding of what to expect in terms of cost, dates, standards, rating definitions and the purpose and scope of the inspection.

2. A thorough home inspection is only as good as its documentation. – While most inspectors will give you a 10 to 15 page summary of their findings, Wise Counsel will provide you with a 33 page, user friendly, Property Inspection Report. Not only does this bound report serve as a guide for the inspector – it also provides you with a room by room, roof to sump pump analysis of the property under consideration.

3. An open invitation for communication between all parties regarding the inspection. The world of residential real estate generally involves a buyer, a seller and one or more realtors. To keep the lines of communication open, and the process flowing, you have the option to have the findings of your Wise Counsel inspection made available to the other interested parties for their review. With your approval, a special card is left behind for the property owner with your Wise Counsel Inspector’s name and phone number. It encourages the owner to call with any questions regarding the inspection.

4. A free Home Preservation Checklist rounds out the package. – This valuable tool helps you to understand and preserve your investment. The Homeowner’s Guide to Home Preservation gives you a comprehensive checklist telling you what to check and when. It also gives you professional insight on key systems in your home along with a record of maintenance for the entire property.

5. Your Wise Counsel Home Inspector utilizes training and support materials from a nationally recognized, state licensed home inspector training school and is a member of ASHI – Certification from the American Home Inspectors Training Institute signifies the completion of one of the most thorough training programs available in the profession. And as a member of ASHI, The American Society of Home Inspectors, your inspector has met the most rigorous technical and experience requirements in effect today.
