What We Inspect:

Omni Home Inspections' goal of the Pre-Purchase Home Inspection and Pre-Sale Home Inspections are to provide our clients with a clear understanding of the property and its components, by revealing the general condition of the property as it is visually inspected at the time of the inspection.

On average, the prospective home buyer spends less than one hour in the home prior to making an offer. This makes it very difficult for the buyer to have a comprehensive understanding of the home's condition. By having a Pre-Purchase Home Inspection we can greatly reduce these risks of buying a home.

If you are planning on selling your home, a Pre-Sale Home Inspection is an advantageous step to take in preparing to list your home. You may not be fully aware of the current condition of your home and know what repairs or modifications that might be necessary in order to close the deal. A Pre-Sale Home Inspection will reveal important information about your home which can prove to be very beneficial when it comes time to negotiate the sale.
