What a seller's agent wants known early

Book for a listing

Why early is better

Surprises come when no one has looked. A Level 2 before the listing puts the facts on paper before anyone asks.

Then the seller can look at the photos, talk it over with you and decide.

How we work

We do the inspection, explain what we find as we go and leave a photo report. We do not push work. If the flue is sound, we say so. If it is not, we show you the photo and explain it, and the seller keeps the decision.

A Level 2 puts a video camera through the entire flue. After it, we get into the attic, crawlspace and roof wherever access allows. Level 1 leaves the camera out.

What you receive

On inspection day the report and photos are finished. Your client says who receives them. You, the seller and a buyer are all possible readers.

We work quickly for agents, so send the address as soon as you have it.

  • Written findings in plain words
  • Photos to go with them
  • Repairs quoted after the inspection

If the report lists conditions

If the report finds conditions under NFPA 211 or local code, it says so in plain words. NFPA 211 is the reason a Level 2 comes up on a sale or transfer. A buyer could ask for repairs, a credit or another inspection. You and your client handle it. Legal advice is not ours to give.

What the visit costs

The Level 2 amount is here, and Level 1 sits next to it as a comparison.

Agent questions

Will you speak with the seller?

Yes. We explain findings to the homeowner in plain words, in person if they are home, and we leave the photos for them to keep.

Do I get the report?

Yes, if the client names you.

Do you push repairs?

No. We say what we see and leave the decision with the homeowner.
