Having a home professionally inspected helps you better understand the condition of the property and find any issues that could become costly problems later.

    We do not recommend this. While you may have a background with home systems, it is easy to overlook issues or defects in a home in which you are emotionally invested. Having a professional home inspector come in provides an unbiased assessment of the home. Bringing in an expert makes sure that you get a thorough and accurate evaluation of the home's condition.

    This depends on the property size and if any issues come up. When you schedule your inspection, we’ll be able to give you a more accurate time frame based on the home’s specifics. Most home inspections will take 2 to 4 hours

    Yes! Your attendance is not required, but attending the inspection gives you a firsthand look at the home’s condition and allows you to ask questions directly. Attending the inspection can be a great opportunity to learn from the inspector’s expertise and gain valuable home maintenance tips, especially if you’re a first-time home buyer.

    While not required in Illinois, yes you still should. A pre-listing inspection can speed up the selling process by finding potential issues before they become obstacles. Addressing any problems upfront puts you in control, helping to prevent delays or complications during the sale.
