Home Inspections can be stressful, particularly if you are doing it as part of a real estate transaction. You want to find out if there is anything wrong with your new home but at the same time, you may be nervous that if you find something, the deal could be ruined.....
4 Point Inspections are a little different than a home inspection. Whereas a home inspection encompasses all the major systems and components in the entire house, a 4 Point Inspection focuses on 4 major components of your home: the roof, the plumbing system, the electrical system, and HVAC system. 4 Point Inspections are often required by insurance companies that are doing due diligence prior to writing you a policy covering your home. 4 Point Inspections are often requested by insurance companies for homes that are older than 30 years. The 4 Point Inspection report typically consists of answering the following questions: the type, age, material and condition of your roof, your plumbing, your electrical system and your HVAC system. Providing insurance companies this report makes it easier for an insurance company to decide whether to offer you discounts on policies covering your home, or to offer you a policy at all.

A home inspection is an examination of the state of a home that is limited and non-invasive. Home inspections are most commonly performed within the due diligence of a home sale as an often required part of a real estate transaction. Home inspections are almost always performed by home inspectors. Although there are limited licensing requirements in some states, the majority of home inspectors are required to be licensed and insured in most states. The end-product of a home inspection is usually a written report about the state and condition of a home. This report is a sort of limited and non-invasive snapshot of a home’s condition at a certain point in time. Typically, the potential buyer will use this home inspection to gain some insight about the condition of the home at the time of inspection. The home inspection report generated by the inspector will allow the prospective buyer to make a more well-informed decision about purchasing the home. Buyers will sometimes use the home inspection report in order to receive discounts from the home seller prior to the conclusion of the transaction.
