While the majority of realtors are ethical, they are business people, and their main priority is making a profit. Buying a home may be the biggest financial investment of your life, and protecting your interests should be your main priority. Securing that investment and taking a seat at the negotiation table with an unbiased home inspection report is one of your best available tools, providing you with the information

 to either ensure necessary repairs are made before closing or financial concessions from the seller provide you with the opportunity to make those repairs yourself. These reports are equally important for new builds, renovated/flipped homes, or when purchasing a "fixer-upper." Without an independent inspection, it is impossible to calculate your risk. Contractors are skilled professionals, but their interests coincide with their bottom line.  A home inspection, new construction inspection, or renovation inspection ensures seller, realtor, and contractor accountability, because independent home inspectors are ethically bound to be unbiased, do not work for a realty agency, and cannot financially benefit from any required repairs or renovations.

It is to the benefit of the client that home inspectors do not create repair estimates, this means that the report you receive is unbiased as we have no financial incentive to "upsell" damages or required remediation to your property. Also, the environmental tests and laboratory reports we conduct can be used to provide factual data to other responsible parties, such as an insurance company, that prove repairs need to be done. In some cases, those reports can provide protection to the client under various California Department of Insurance regulations or California Tenants Rights laws.

Yes, we can inspect commercial properties as well and recommend this before signing a lease. Not only will this allow you to be aware of any potential risks on the property, it can also help the client negotiate repairs prior to the lease signing, especially in the case of double and triple net leases where the lessee becomes almost fully responsibility for the maintenance of the building, including big ticket items. For both commercial and residential properties, the pre-lease inspection report can also be used as proof of the state of the building(s) and property at the beginning of the lease which can then be compared to the state of any damages or wear-and-tear at the end of the lease. This is a powerful tool in negotiating the return of a security deposit.

A triple-net lease makes you money, ensuring that your expenses are known and costs minimized, as long as your tenants are maintaining the property in accordance with the requirements of the lease. A commercial property inspection offers an unbiased report about the state of your property. It can be used to confirm if normal wear-and-tear is the cause of damages or if the tenants are not properly maintaining the leased property according to the terms of the lease. Similarly, the commercial inspection report offers an unbiased report for insurance underwriters and having these done periodically on a long-term lease can argue on your behalf for more favorable insurance rates.
