Re-Inspection

A re-inspection is a return visit after your original inspection, done to verify that the repairs the seller agreed to were actually completed — and completed correctly. It's the step that turns a repair promise into confirmed fact before you sign.

Here's how it fits the deal: your inspection turns up defects, you and your agent negotiate repairs into the purchase agreement, and the seller hires contractors to address them. A re-inspection is where I come back, pull up the original report, and check each agreed-upon item — confirming the work was done, done properly, and didn't create a new problem in the process.

This matters more than people expect. Repairs get rushed before closing, cut corners are common, and sometimes the 'fix' is cosmetic over a problem that's still there. Taking the seller's word — or a receipt — isn't the same as a trained inspector confirming it with his own eyes and camera.

You receive an updated written report with photo documentation of each verified item, cross-referenced to the original findings, so you and your agent walk into closing knowing exactly what got resolved and what didn't.

Re-inspections are billed at a flat $249 and should be scheduled with enough lead time before your closing date to leave room if something still isn't right.
