What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive examination and observation of the exterior and interior of a residential property including the grounds, the structure, and the mechanical systems to determine structural defects, broken or obsolete components, safety hazards, and damage due to water, wear and tear, and other conditions. See a Typical Inspection.
Buying a home is probably the single most expensive purchase you will ever make. It is highly recommended that you have a professional home inspection performed before you consider your purchase.
Coastline can uncover flaws, defects, safety hazards and maintenance issues that can affect your decision. Armed with this information up front, you can avoid costly surprises later on as well as negotiate your best deal with the seller.

Seller inspections (sometimes referred to as pre-listing inspections) are becoming more popular because they virtually eliminate all the pitfalls and hassles associated with waiting to do the home inspection until a buyer is found. In many ways, waiting to schedule the inspection until after a home goes under agreement is too late. Seller inspections are arranged and paid for by the seller, usually just before the home goes on the market. The seller is the inspector's client. The inspector works for the seller and generates a report for the seller. The seller then typically makes multiple copies of the report and shares them with potential buyers who tour the home for sale. Seller inspections are a benefit to all parties in a real estate transaction. They are a win-win-win-win situation.
This type of inspection reveals problems ahead of time, which:
- might make the home show better.
- gives the seller time to make repairs and shop for competitive contractors.
- permits the seller to attach repair estimates or paid invoices to the inspection report.
- removes over-inflated buyer-procured estimates from the negotiation table.
Did you go to the doctor for an annual check-up this year? Did you take your car to a mechanic for an oil change and a tune-up? I'll bet you went to the dentist too!
Well your home needs the same kind of attention. An annual Home Maintenance Inspection can help you;
- Identify safety issues that require immediate attention.
- Find items that are in need of some kind of maintenance before they get any worse.
