The Sims & Co. Home Inspection package is a deeply thorough, point-by-point inspection that contains an analysis of nearly 500 different items. From roof vents to foundation, we appraise the condition of the home, take precise notes and provide you with an easy-to-use document that carefully details each issue.
While there is no “pass” or “fail” with a home inspection, you will know exactly where you stand when it comes to necessary repairs and upgrades – and be armed with the information you need to negotiate more favorable terms.
An Invitation
We invite (and heartily recommend) that you be present during the inspection. Often, our clients find the process deeply informative. Our mission to provide top-notch customer service is real: We take the time to explain any issues with the property, point out factors to consider in your decision-making and answer your questions to the best of our ability.
