BUYERS HOME INSPECTION
Have you found your dream home and want to make sure you are fully aware of its condition? A buyer’s home inspection from Acuity is one of the most important steps in the buying process. Our expert team will take care of all the details from scheduling to communication to a review and explanation of your report. Our comprehensive Spectora inspection report minimizes uncertainty and focuses on clarity and recommended action. It includes relevant photos and videos and will be delivered the same day as your report so you can make decisions in a timely manner.
Every inspection includes use of infrared imagery to help identify hidden issues related to insulation, moisture intrusion and/or wood destroying organisms.
Every inspection is backed by InterNACHI’s “We’ll Buy Back Your Home” Guarantee.
You’ll receive a complimentary “Home Maintenance Manual” with information you’ll find useful for keeping your home safe and in top condition and protecting your investment for years to come.
