Most of the time home buyers start their conversation off on the phone with us like this “I’m buying a new home, how much does a home inspection cost?”

All to often I want to tell them that their first concern should not be about how much it cost, but about how much it can cost them if they end up hiring “Cheap Charlie.”  I know that there are several home inspectors out there lowering their prices to all most nothing, and while we have run specials and deals, I am proud to say that even when a deal was going on our average home inspection still took four to five hours.  We never make you stand around and wait at the house for your home inspection report.  We go over the major items with you and point them out if you haven’t attended the home inspection and then we upload the report later on.  This is after we have time to go over and make sure their are no errors.  Time is valuable and you don’t have time to be standing around waiting on the home inspection report.

But back to Cheap Charlie, here recently I have heard stories from real estate agents that tell me their client had a home inspector there and he was there for two hours and really didn’t find a lot.  Is this what you want, or do you want someone who is going to be thorough, giving you the ultimate negotiating power and keeping you from buying the money pit! Don’t assume that the home you are thinking of buying is in good condition.  Even new homes have issues, just ask me and I’ll be glad to tell you the different items I have found on brand new homes.

Your agent can recommend someone, but the choice is yours, “Cheap Charlie” or “Thorough David” you decide.  If you want a thorough North Georgia home inspection for a reasonable price call us today at 404-788-2581, you’ll be glad you did.
