Top 10 ways to help out your inspector

1. Confirm with your Realtor ® that the utilities are on and pilot lights are burning.
2. Make sure the inspector has access to any keys, alarm or entrance codes.
3. Tell the inspector about any areas of concern or things that you may be "worried" about.
4. Make certain to give accurate information during the ordering process. Receiving your report on our web site is easy unless the supplied email address for you is incorrect.
5. Read the Inspection Agreement carefully. Misconceptions about what the inspector will, and won't do can often be taken care of by just reading this agreement. Also be certain to sign this, while you are with your agent, or just ask your agent to sign it. By law we have to have a signed agreement BEFORE the inspection. Your agent has a fax machine and can just fax it to us. Or, you can download an agreement from our website, sign it and fax it back. Just be certain to help us stay with the letter of the law. We must have this before the inspection can begin.
6. Allow yourself a little time to look at our web site. As a home Buyer, and inspection Client, you will be better informed, more knowledgeable and this tends to enhance your overall satisfaction with the inspection process
7. If you have directions or comments on how to find the home, tell the inspector. Even he has a hard time finding an address every now and then!
8. If you choose to attend the inspection, ensure that children and pets won't hinder the inspection. It takes a great deal of focus, and concentration to professionally inspect a home; help the inspector by letting him do his job. Also, tell inspector about animals to be kept outside.
9. Although the inspector is happy to print your report on-site, if you are short on time, or just want to "save the trees" just check your email that evening! The entire report will be at your fingertips in seconds for you to print or view as many times as you would like, for as long as you wish.
10. Know ahead of time who should receive a copy of the report. If you want any assistance from the seller on repairs, inevitably your agent, the sellers' agent, and even the seller will want to see your documented fin dings.. If you inform the inspector of whom should receive the report, he can do that in a few seconds. This saves A LOT of faxes, paper, phone calls and wasted time for everyone. But, if you choose to not let anyone see the report but you, that's OK too! Just remember to tell the inspector.

Take these actions and your home inspection will go faster and will result in a cleaner inspection report!
