What to Expect During Your Home Inspection in Charlotte, NC
Our buyer inspection includes a detailed evaluation of the entire property, inside and out. We carefully examine all accessible components to identify visible defects, safety hazards, and areas of concern.

Protect Your Investment With an Unbiased Home Inspection
It is important to hire an independent inspector for this process. The inspector needs to be as unbiased as possible to avoid any conflicts of interest. If the seller recommends a particular inspector, you should instead consider hiring someone else, since you want to make sure that the inspector is looking out for the interests of all parties involved in the deal.
“This is the second time I have used David’s company… They were knowledgeable, thorough, and professional both times. I have worked with several inspectors over my lifetime, and David has been the best. I highly recommend his service.”
— Ernest Pruitt
Why Inspect
One of the major benefits of having a thorough home inspection performed is that you can make sure that your new home is in good shape when you move in. While every home has issues, keeping these to a minimum is important. Not only will this save you a lot of time and money, but it will make moving into your new home a more enjoyable experience.
Be Present
It is best to make sure that you are on the premises when the home inspection is being performed. This way, the inspector can explain any issues that he may discover to you in person. Also, if you have questions or concerns, you can ask them directly to the inspector, rather than having to write them down and ask them later.
Give Space
However, this does not mean that you should crowd the inspector or follow him around the whole time. He needs to have enough room to focus on the job. A proper home inspection requires great attention to detail. So, you should avoid distracting the inspector and potentially causing him to overlook a serious issue.
Before You Buy
As a home buyer, it is important that you have a home properly inspected before you agree to purchase it. This home inspection process can save you quite a lot of time and money. That is why you can’t afford to neglect this important task

Can't say enough good things about Jessica and Hunter at AHI. Jessica handled the booking process and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. She was a fantastic first contact and remained incredibly helpful throughout the rest of the process. Hunter was an outstanding inspector. He didn't balk at having me present during the inspection (in fact, he encouraged it), welcomed questions, gave explanations that were scaffolded to be both easy to understand and still detailed and comprehensive. He took his time on the property and explored every inch. I still don't know how he managed to fit into certain places in the attic and crawlspace, but he did, and thank goodness he did, because he saved us from a $500k mistake. He took lots of photos and notes and his report was easy to understand. Can't wait to use him again when we make another offer on a home. My realtor also mentioned that he's her new "go to" guy for when clients ask for recommendations.Posted on Joseph RusherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
