The Home Inspection

A home inspection is a solid way to help protect your investment. Are you anxious about Buying, Selling or Building a home and need to know if the home is going to be in good condition?

At Eagle*Star Inspections; we inspect it right the first time.

A home is likely to be one of your single largest investments. Every new and pre-owned home needs a professional inspection. After all, someone should look out for your best interest. Protect yourself with an unbiased, professional home inspection by Eagle*Star Inspections.

Existing Homes: Rest Assured: I will perform as thorough and comprehensive (visual and operational) inspection possible on existing homes in compliance with the Texas Real Estate Commissions' "Standards of Practice".

More and more buyers of newly constructed homes have chosen independent professional inspection service companies like Eagle*Star, to follow the construction process through its stages to the final walk-thru.

Changing building codes, new materials, improved technology and new/updated installation and manufacturer instructions may not always be communicated down to the subcontractors who actually perform the construction work. Poor workmanship and the lack of proper supervision are also factors that could affect overall quality of construction. Eagle*Star's four-phase inspection follows new construction through their critical stages to ensure compliance with plans and code requirements.

One year warranty inspections: If you have already closed on your newly constructed house and did not have it inspected; it is highly recommended that before your one-year builders warranty expires, you have the house inspected. This detail inspection also helps reduce any unforeseen problems and cost repairs for items found by an inspector when and if, you sell the house. You should know what an inspection may tell potential buyers.

Sellers, you should know what a home inspection may tell potential buyers

A presale inspection will reduce the probability of last minute complications which can adversely affect the sale. Properties with fewer unanswered questions will often sell faster. Discovered defects which arise after the buyer makes an offer, can often lead to delays and price re-negotiations.

Almost all homes have defects which buyers will want the seller to correct prior to the close of escrow. When you know those defects in advance, you can get reasonable estimates or, if qualified, make the repairs yourself.
Full disclosure is always the best policy for all parties involved in a real estate transaction. It's to your advantage to obtain a quality, thorough, unbiased home inspection from Eagle*Star inspections.

The home inspection and report will provide an overview that goes beyond the untrained eye. It provides you valuable information on the condition of the home. The report will be easy to read and understand. It reports what areas are in 'need of repair' or ' not functioning', but at the same time I also report those areas that are satisfactory and that are operating as they are intended.

Here are the main components of an inspection:
