Total House Inspection

Don’t let simple maintenance items become negotiation points.

Selling your home? Inspection day isn’t the time to realize the attic is blocked, the utilities aren’t on, or half the light bulbs are burnt out.

Small things can create confusion, delays, or unnecessary follow-up.

Before the inspection, sellers should:

Make sure all utilities are on.
Clear access to the attic, electrical panel, furnace, water heater, crawlspace, basement, and garage.
Replace burnt-out bulbs.
Fix small maintenance items like loose handles, missing outlet covers, dirty furnace filters, or leaky faucets.
Secure pets and put valuables away.

The goal isn’t to hide problems.

It’s to make sure the inspector can properly evaluate the home and the buyer gets clear information without simple issues turning into bigger questions.

Thinking about selling? A pre-listing inspection can help you prepare before buyers ever walk through the door.

You never know what you'll find during a home inspection.

Today it wasn't a roofing issue or an electrical concern—it was a WWII-era Ford Jeep. After talking with the owner, I learned he still drives it every summer.
Not every inspection comes with a piece of history.

Mike does not look for problems. He looks for the truth of a property and he reports what he finds. Every system, every component, every observable condition.

The buyers who walk away from his inspections know exactly what they bought. That kind of thoroughness is not an accident. It is the only way we know how to work.

Serving Southeast Michigan buyers across Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, and St. Clair counties.
