While home inspections provide peace of mind, inspections are expensive. Although far less expensive than purchasing a hundred thousand dollar home in poor condition, before entering into a Buy & Sell Agreement, consider a walk-through consultation. It could save you time, money & stress.
What is a Walk-Through Consultation?
A brief inspection of the major systems & components of the home you're considering making an offer on, performed by a certified inspector, without the full inspection fee or an inspection report.
Why should buyers & agents consider a Walk-Through Inspection?
While a home never passes or fails an inspection - from the inspectors standpoint - and hopefully no major issues exist to begin with, sometimes important & costly defects can be observed by a qualified inspector in a relatively short amount of time.
For example, chronic moisture over a pro-longed period of time in a crawl space that has produced mold & deteriorated sub-floor & structural components beyond repair. Depending on the size of the home, a series of defects such as these could cost $10,000 or more to repair/re-mediate, but can take an inspector 10 minutes to find.
Now, you're out the inspection fee, the time it took to get to that point in the due diligence phase, and lost out on the other two or three homes you were considering making an offer on before you decided on this home.
For the small consultation fee, you could've saved a lot of time and money.
Should every home have a walk-through consultation?
No, but if you or your agent see's potential signs that major defects could exist, it may be wise.
Do you guarantee you will find major defects during the walk-through consultation?
No, we cannot make such guarantee. But we will help you understand immediate observations, helping you establish a plan and course of action heading into an offer. Very often, it's time and money well spent.
What is a Repair Verification Inspection?
A repair verification is either an independent inspection to inspect a construction project, remodel, renovation or a follow up re-inspection performed after required or recommended repairs have been completed by one or more parties on behalf of the client.
Who needs a Repair Verification Inspection & Why?
- Home sellers need repair verification's to independently verify that repairs completed by contractors are up to required standards.
- Home buyers need repair verification's and re-inspections to verify that repairs have been completed by sellers and are up to required standards.
- Real estate agents and Realtors need repair verification to verify that repairs have been completed and up to required standards to reduce liability and provide due-diligence in good faith.
- Property managers and landlords need repair verification to verify that repairs have been completed and up to required standards for leasing and obtaining certificates of occupancy (not issued by Home Fax™ Inspections).
What does a Repair Verification Inspection include?
Repair verification inspections are limited to the area or areas which were repaired or are being re-inspected. These may include one or more systems and/or components of the home, outlined in the scope of work to be performed by the inspector.

If you're a homeowner in the process of selling or listing your home, a Seller's Inspection or Pre-Listing Inspection could save you tons of money, time and hassle. Don't risk losing THOUSANDS of $$$ to a buyers inspection, or even worse, jeopardize a potential sale entirely!
Why do you need a Seller's Inspection or Pre-Listing Inspection?
• Schedule the inspection at your convenience and have the ability to assist the inspector during the inspection process, which is otherwise uncommon during a buyer's inspection.
• Be alerted to any items of immediate concern ahead of time, instead of during the buy and sell process, lightening 11th hour re-negotiations and last-minute problems.
• Pre-awareness allows you to correct issues beforehand, or price the home at a realistic asking price if problems do exist, helping you save time and money without risking a potential sale.
• By correcting any issues beforehand, you can review the inspection report prior to being generated and have corrections made, which:
1. Gives you more time to shop competitive bids and make repairs at the most reasonable price, all while eliminating over-inflated buyer estimates or demands.
2. Permits you to attach repair invoices to the report that may eliminate prospective buyer suspicions before they walk away without making an offer.
3. Helps your home show better and sell at a higher price, especially when no major issues are identified during the inspection process.
4. Ultimately may encourage buyers to waive the inspection contingency all together!
Even more, all Seller Inspections and Pre-Inspections have the option of being listed online at www.HomeFaxInspect.com, enhancing the marketing appeal and visibility of the listing!
Seller's Inspections & Pre-Listing Inspections Include:
• Roof (including all penetrations, flashing & drainage systems)

Expert Witness Services
What is an Expert Witness?
An expert witness is a person who is a specialist in a subject, often technical, who may present his/her expert opinion without having been a witness to any occurrence relating to the lawsuit or criminal case.
What are Expert Witness Services?
Services performed by an expert witness, typically relation to any lawsuit or criminal case, on behalf of the client who hired the expert witness.
Who needs Expert Witness Services?
Depending on the nature of the concern, multiple parties may request expert witness services, including, but not limited to: attorneys & law firms, property managers, investors, lenders & loan officers, appraisers, sellers, contractors, homeowners, and more.
How much do Expert Witness Services cost?
We do not have a set cost for expert witness services, as the requests may vary widely. Please contact us at 833-4-INSPECT, 248-229-0945, or by email.
What do Expert Witness Services include?
The scope of any expert witness service will be determined by the nature of the request. Please contact us at 833-4-INSPECT, 248-229-0945, or by email.
Will Home Fax™ Inspections qualify or accept each expert witness service request?
No. There may be certain areas related to the request which are outside the scope of expertise. In these instances, we may offer to assist you in finding an expert, lending consultation advice where appropriate, or decline the request all together based on our lack of “expertise.” We’ll never agree to perform expert witness services that are not in the best interest of the client and/or our company.
What is a Limited Scope Inspection?
A limited scope inspection is an inspection performed on a limited scope of work, usually for a specific request, containing one or more individual systems and/or components of the home.
Who needs a Limited Scope Inspection?
Multiple parties, including property managers, sellers, homeowners, lenders, appraisers, investors, and more. Requests vary depending upon the client and nature of the inspection purpose.
For example, an appraiser may request that a seller or property manager have an independent inspection completed to confirm the nature or severity of an observed defect that may directly impact the value of a home and whether a loan (or mortgage) can or will be originated.
Homeowners may have a Limited Scope Inspection performed, for example, as a Home Energy Inspection, where only the systems and components that impact the energy efficiency of the home are inspected.
Who does not need a Limited Scope Inspection?
A limited scope inspection should not be utilized by each party, in any given situation. There are times we will not conduct a limited scope inspection or may require the client to utilize another service that better fits their needs.
For example, if you are a buyer purchasing a home and request a Limited Scope Inspection for only the crawlspace to be inspected, we will not perform this service for you as the home is a system that works together. If defects are noted in the crawlspace that may affect the main level structure, for instance, a limited scope inspection hinders our ability to fully inspect a home and outline these observations in totality.
What does a Limited Scope Inspection include?
Individual systems and/or components of the home, determined by the nature of the request and outlined in the scope of work to be performed by the inspector, as agreed upon by the inspector and hiring party.
Annual Home Maintenance Inspections
For homeowners who care to invest in maintaining their homes condition now, avoiding higher costs and headaches later.
What is an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection?
An inspection completed annually for a homeowner to identify existing defects or preventative maintenance recommendations which may protect the long-term condition of the home.
Who needs an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection?
Homeowners, landlords and investors. Clients who hired Home Fax™ Inspections to perform their buyers’ inspection will receive a 25% discount on Annual Maintenance Inspections, for life!
Why do you need an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection?
Protect your investment with current and proactive maintenance recommendations and suggestions which help you be informed, educated, and aware of issues which may impact your investment, the condition of your home, or any maintenance delays.
Would you rather replace a $10 downspout extension now, or a $5,000 driveway two years from now? Are your energy bills higher than anticipated due to a lack of maintenance or material defect in one or more systems? What other future or current defects could be prevented or repaired that you are otherwise unaware of?
What does an Annual Home Maintenance Inspection include?
All systems and components of the home.

“Tony was great. He was thorough with his inspection and report. He showed a great attention to detail and was willing to explain his findings as he went through the house. He has a wide range of knowledge and helped us to understand not only his findings but also how it fit into the big picture and what corrective measures needed to be taken (and the urgency). We felt much more comfortable proceeding with the purchase of our house after Tony was completed and I would not hesitate to use Home Fax Inspections in the future.”
