A Sellers inspection will virtually eliminate all the hassles a buyer’s inspection causes
- No more renegotiations.
- No more deals that fall through when the inspector finds a problem.
- No more does the Seller have to deal with inflated repair estimates that costs extra money or even worse, Escrow deductions at closing.
- No more will you spend countless hours and dollars in energy and advertising to save a contract that is “blown out of the water” by surprise defects.
- Many buyers will waive the inspection contingency altogether when buying a certified pre-inspected home.
Eliminate the anxiety of the unknown
No last minute suprises during contract negotiations
Knowing what defects are present at the initial listing creates enormous benefits:
- It will allow You to decide what items should be fixed and what should not.
- It will help substantiate your asking price.
- It will show buyers your good faith effort and attempt at honest disclosure.
- It will help protect the seller by relegating disclosure liabilities to the home inspector.
- It will allow the Seller to shop around for the best price to repair (not an inflated price that a buyer would use for “round two” contingency negotiations.)
- It streamlines the process.
How easy is selling a house with a Sellers Inspection?
When you decide to market your home, a sellers inspection is performed. If significant damage or defects are found, there may be disappointment, but no hysteria or regret. No deal about to go sour. You can now determine if you want to do any repairs that will help expedite the sale. If you correct any problem areas, you may call for a re-inspection of these items free of charge. The Inspector returns, cleans up the report, and provides a revised report to you certifying that these items have been professionally corrected. Next, when a buyer enters a contract agreement with you, they may choose to accept the completed inspection or, they may have another inspection performed at their expense. Either way, your covered. No major problems or surprises will be found at a buyer’s post inspection. The transaction proceeds just as you planned.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I spent the money on a home inspection when a buyer might get one anyway?
You control the narrative. When the buyer orders the inspection, you have to react.
When you order the inspection, you are prepared
A pre-listing inspection allows you to:
-
Identify defects on your timeline
-
Decide what to repair, disclose, or price accordingly
-
Avoid emotional, high-pressure negotiations during escrow
Are sellers inspections just as thorough as a buyers inspection?
Yes. It has to be in order to eliminate surprises later. But it has to be a detailed, high quality inspection.
My home is clean with no problems so I don't need a Sellers Inspection?
It is great that your home has no problems but the buyer doesn’t know that. This is possitive verification of what you already know. An inspection reveals all things including good features. Instills confidence and helps get the house sold fast!
Is the home inspection transferable from the Seller to the Buyer?
The inspection report remains the property of the seller but can absolutely be provided, shared to the buyer or anyone else at the sellers discretion.
What does the home inspector look at?
- The inspector closely examines all the homes primary systems looking for significant defects that may affect the value, health or safety of the property.
- Inspections do not usually cover typical cosmetics. Inspections are also subjective to the type and age of property. In other words some old houses have old things, new houses have new things.
- A property does not fail because it is old and does not pass because it is new.
- Primary systems include: Roof, Structure, Foundation, Plumbing, Heat, Fireplace, AC, Interior, Appliances, Insulation, Exterior walls, windows, doors, garage. Inspectors will open electric panels, and access attic and crawlspaces.
My home is new or has been remodeled with new equipment so why would I need an inspection?
- Many significant defects have been revealed on brand new homes and newly installed equipment or systems. Just because it is new does not mean it is OK. It may be too new to have been discovered yet.
- All construction and equipment is subject to human error and defects especially new construction and upgrades.
- There are many cases where defects discovered on older homes originate from when it was “new construction”. These defects can range from builder shortcuts, sub-contractor oversights, and manufacturer defects.
- Often times these defects are unknown to anyone until they are discovered. Many have been repaired for free under class action suites, Insurance claims manufacture warranties, or contractor guarantees.
How long does it take and what's the cost?
Each home is different and it depends on the square feet and condition. The average home inspection takes about 2.5-3 hours and average cost is roughly $500, more or less. You can use our “get a quote” feature or call us directly for a price quote.

Dan and his team have been great to work with! They really care about their work and have the knowledge and experience to do a thorough inspection with a detailed fully documented report. Dan was also extremely helpful after the inspection. He not only helped us understand the best way to complete the repairs, he recommended companies, products and gave us estimated costs. They are the best!

100% Recommend! My husband did lots of research on inspection companies in the area for a house we put an offer in for, and they were #1 on our list based on the research. However, they absolutely proved why they were number 1 during the actual inspection. They were extremely thorough, even our realtor was impressed. Anthony Gilbar (our inspector) was very friendly and walked me through everything important during the inspection. Additionally, the report was ready within hours and was very user friendly and easy to read. If you want to ensure you’re finding everything during an inspection, Final Analysis Property Inspections is the way to go!

Emily was wonderful! She performed an incredibly thorough and detailed assessment of the home we are under contract with purchasing. Her report was instrumental in ensuring that the house will be turned key upon move in! She also took time to answer all my questions and point out critical issues that I would have definitely missed. If you are buying a home or getting ready to list your home you need Emily for your inspection!

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Anthony and Mike during the inspection of our new build home. From start to finish, they were incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. They took the time to explain everything in a clear, approachable way and made sure we fully understood not just what they were looking at, but why it mattered.
What really stood out was how much they genuinely cared. They treated the inspection as if it were their own home, catching details we never would have noticed and advocating for us every step of the way. Their attention to detail and commitment to doing things right gave us so much peace of mind during a very important purchase.
Anthony and Mike went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for their expertise, honesty, and patience. If you’re buying a home especially a new build you could not ask for better inspectors. Highly, highly recommend!

Final Analysis did a tremendous job inspecting our Multi-family 8 unit commercial property. The inspection report was extremely thorough and gave us insight on everything we needed to know before we closed on the deal. We also want to give a big shout out to Anthony Gilbar for leading the inspection twice for us. The first time was for our 4 unit building and now for our 8 unit building. Keep up the good work!

I had the pleasure of working with Todd from Final Analysis for a home inspection on my condo, and I couldn't be more impressed. Todd arrived early, greeted me warmly, and immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain the process in detail, so I knew exactly what to expect during the inspection.
Throughout the inspection, Todd was thorough and meticulous, checking every inch of the property. He answered every question my realtor and I had, providing clear explanations for any issues he noticed. His attention to detail was outstanding, and I felt confident in his findings.
Once the inspection was complete, Todd provided us with a comprehensive, detailed report that was easy to understand. He even offered to be available for any questions or concerns that might arise as we continue with the home-buying process, which was greatly appreciated.
A special shout-out also goes to the owner of Final Analysis, who went above and beyond. I had added an additional service to my inspection package, but the owner personally reached out to explain that the service wasn’t necessary for my property. Rather than charging me an extra $300+, he made sure I wasn’t paying for something I didn’t need. This level of honesty and integrity is rare, and I’m truly impressed by the company’s commitment to doing the right thing.
I went out on a limb choosing Final Analysis, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your inspection needs. I would 100% use them again in the future.

Anthony from Final Analysis was an excellent property inspector and provided a detailed, thorough, and comprehensive report. He walked us through the entire process and report results, answering all of our questions. We now feel confident in moving forward on our home sale as we know what issues need resolved. I can't stress enough how important a thorough inspection is for your property, as buyer or seller, Final Analysis is the only company I'd recommend.

I spoke to Dave over the phone to set up the inspection for my mom's new condo. He was patient, kind, and informative. Emily was our inspector and she provided a thorough report. My mom was present for the inspection and she said that Emily was helpful, diligent, and nice to talk to. My experience is that the company owners/employees take pride in what they do and don't rush through it to get to the next customer, which we really appreciated. I also felt the prices were reasonable considering that they did an inspection of the property including the fireplace/chimney and they also looked for bugs/pests. I would definitely use this company again.

I had a wonderful experience with Final Analysis Property Inspections. Anthony inspected a new-home purchase and provided me a thoughtful and comprehensive review of his findings. I was unable to attend the inspection but he called me afterward, explained everything thoroughly, and answered all of my questions. I was impressed by both his professionalism and candor, and feel confident acting on his recommendations. A truly amazing experience. I will use Final Analysis for all my future endeavors. Thank you!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this company, however they have met and exceeded my expectations. They were the first ones there and had already started to inspect the property. Anthony and Brit were beyond professional and answered all my questions and concerns. They were super polite as well as respectful of the property and it's owners. I would highly recommend this company. I had an overall inspection done, that included termite and moisture inspection. They were very thorough in their work! I am a very satisfied customer and would recommend them without reservations.

We used Final Analysis to inspect a potential home to purchase. They were very professional, arrived on time and did exactly what they said. The house had minimal issues which was great but the things that were notable were shared and debriefed appropriately.

Jason and team did an excellent job! They were thorough and really paid attention to detail. They are not alarmists, but give it to you straight! They explain everything in easy to understand terms and made the process so stress-free! Jason explained everything at the end perfectly and answered all of our questions. By far one of the smoothest pieces of the buying process! Thank you!!
