Home Inspection Report Services by a Certified Home Inspector
OUR SERVICES
THE A-PRO DIFFERENCES:
IT’S THE EXPERTISE;
When A-Pro was formed in 1994, its foundation rested on a unique concept: the A-Pro Home-Inspection + Home Warranty Plan, a program structured to furnish advantages to all parties concerned: buyer, seller and real-estate professional alike. Today, we stand as a respected industry leader and as a continuing force for innovation in the arenas of Home Inspection service and protection.
IT’S THE WARRANTIES
For buyers and sellers, the A-Pro Home-Inspection + Home Warranty Plan works as the best defense against sudden costly repairs or replacement of vital household systems and appliances which break down from normal wear-and-tear. Sellers know they’re protected during the listing period, and buyers are assured that the cost of system and appliance replacement is totally covered.*
For real estate professionals, a home-warranty plan from A-Pro is a value-added buying and selling tool that provides customers with peace of mind and confidence.

First of all, our courteous, certified inspectors are rigorously trained and broadly experienced professionals who apply all their expertise to the thousands of accurate, detailed, home inspections they perform each year.
What’s more, with each inspection, A-Pro provides a Foundation Level Survey (a $125.00 value) FREE OF CHARGE.
Finally, a comprehensive (and comprehensible) narrative report is rushed to the customer the first business day following inspection – guaranteed!

THE FUTURE OF ALL REAL ESTATE SALES…CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED HOMES™
Home inspections have customarily been for the benefit of the buyer. Home inspections, performed as a condition of the offer, can kill deals. At times this is because the buyer gets cold feet during the ten day inspection period (Free look); sometimes there's a big problem no one knew about. Every now and then it is because the house has been misrepresented; now and again it is because the home inspector scared the buyers by not explaining that insignificant and common problems are just that - insignificant and typical for a home of the same age and configuration.
If the home inspection is performed prior to the house being listed, all parties will be aware of the physical condition of the house before an offer is placed on the home by a prospective buyer. There will be no surprises after the fact. Deals will not fall through the crack.
In a buyers' market, most houses have to be sold three times. It takes a lot of work to get a listing and then a signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Then the home inspection is done and the buyer wants to renegotiate. If all parties know the condition of the house prior to the offer, there is no need for renegotiation. As most real estate agents know, renegotiation is very difficult. Sellers have already mentally sold the house; buyers are suffering buyers' remorse. Egos, pride and frustration can muddy the already emotional waters. A seller who pays for a home inspection will be further ahead than one who has to renegotiate. He or she in most cases will sell the house faster.
An inspection at the time of listing can also help a REALTOR® deal with a seller who has unrealistic expectations of the asking price. The inspection report is a good way of explaining to the seller why they can't ask top dollar for a house that is not in top condition. Sometimes the home inspection will reveal items which should be repaired immediately. A pre-inspected listing allows the seller to repair the problem prior to putting the house on the market. This is proactive rather than reactive at the time of sale.
If the inspection occurs after the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the purchaser could walk, renegotiate or depending on the inspection clause, the seller may have an option to repair. A repair done by an unmotivated seller to satisfy the condition may not be the best repair and may not meet the purchaser's expectations. This is a common problem in real estate sales and has caused more than one deal not to close.
