Let’s Talk 5-Point Inspections: The Inspection You Get Before the Offer

In today’s competitive housing market, multi-offer situations are becoming the norm. Buyers often feel pressured to act quickly, sometimes skipping crucial steps like a home inspection to make their offer more appealing. While a full home inspection is always ideal of course, we understand that it’s not always feasible in fast-paced situations. That’s where the 5-Point Inspection comes in—a quick, focused inspection designed to help you make a confident decision before closing your offer.

What Is a 5-Point Inspection?

A 5-Point Inspection is a streamlined assessment of the home's most critical systems to ensure no major issues are hiding beneath the surface. It’s tailored to give you the essential information you need when time is of the essence.

Our 5-Point Inspection includes:

1. Roof – Checking for visible damage, aging materials, or leaks.

2. Attic – A unique feature of our service! We inspect the attic for signs of roof damage, insulation issues, ventilation problems, or pest activity. This is a critical area many 4-point inspections skip, but not us.

3. Electrical Systems – Assessing for safety concerns or outdated wiring.

4. Plumbing Systems – Examining for leaks, water pressure, and signs of wear.

5. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) – Ensuring the system is operational and in good condition.

Why Choose a 5-Point Inspection?

A 5-Point Inspection is a perfect fit for buyers in multi-offer situations. While it doesn’t replace the thoroughness of a full home inspection, it provides essential insights into the property’s key systems, protecting you from making costly mistakes.

Here’s why it’s a smart move:

• Fast Results: We know time is critical. Our inspection includes a 15-minute walkthrough to discuss findings with you, followed by a full 5-Point Report the same day, so you can make an informed decision quickly.

• Reduced Risk: If we uncover a major issue—like a leaking roof or an HVAC system on its last legs—you’ll have the knowledge to adjust your offer or reconsider altogether.

• Unique to Today’s Market: The real estate landscape has changed, and a 5-Point Inspection meets the need for speed without sacrificing peace of mind.
