What Does the Home Inspection Process Look Like?
Schedule Online
Book your inspection through our online scheduler and you'll get a confirmation right away.
We Walk the Property
Your inspection is carried out by an experienced member of our team, checking every accessible area of the property.
Review Your Report
We'll get your detailed report to you as soon as it's ready, so you can move forward with confidence.
Buying a home, getting ready to sell, or just staying on top of maintenance, your inspection with Onpoint is built to be thorough without being confusing. We check the major systems and components of the property, flag anything that needs attention now, and note anything that’s likely to need attention down the road.
Once we’ve finished the walkthrough, we’ll go over the big-picture findings with you in plain language, no jargon required. You’ll also get a written report with photos attached to each item we noted, so nothing gets lost between the visit and the paperwork.
Why Get an Inspection?
Negotiate With Confidence
Buyers can use the report to ask for repairs or a better price, while sellers can address issues ahead of time to keep a sale on track.
Plan Ahead
We'll point out systems and components nearing the end of their lifespan, like water heaters or HVAC units, so there are no surprises down the road.
Prepares You For the Future
We can point out components near the end of their lifespan (such as HVAC systems or water heaters) so you can budget accordingly.
Build Trust
A pre-listing inspection shows buyers you're being upfront, which can lead to smoother negotiations and fewer surprises later.
Move Forward With Peace of Mind
Knowing exactly what you're working with, good or bad, makes the whole buying or selling process a lot less stressful.
