WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR INSPECTION
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home in Northern Virginia, MD and DC, let Elite’s licensed and professional home inspectors give you peace of mind before entering into your real estate transaction.
For Sellers, get control of the selling process and ensure a smooth and fair transaction. A pre-listing inspection will highlight your home’s best features as well as the defects so you can set the asking price and repair any items that will boost your home’s value.
For Buyers, get peace of mind, save money, and know exactly what you’re buying with a pre-purchase home inspection. We encourage buyers to attend the inspection, as it provides a great opportunity to learn all about the inner workings of your new home.
Below, we explain some of the critical components that we can identify during the inspection.
