Horizon Home Inspections FAQ

Fast, clear answers for real estate professionals and home buyers.

For Realtors & Agents

How fast can you schedule an inspection?

We keep appointment blocks reserved for contract-driven deadlines and can usually offer options within 24–48 hours, plus rush slots for tight due-diligence windows.

Do you provide a negotiation-friendly summary?

Yes. We include a prioritized repair list, safety callouts, and a concise summary that’s easy to share with sellers, lenders, and contractors without overwhelming clients.

Will you walk the home with my client?

Absolutely. We translate findings in plain language, highlight what’s urgent vs. maintenance, and keep the conversation calm so clients stay confident.

Can you provide re-inspections or repair checks?

Yes. We can verify repairs with photo documentation and clear pass/fail notes so you can close with certainty.

How do you support first-time and millennial buyers?

We focus on education and visuals: annotated photos, short explanations, and a walkthrough that answers the “what does this mean?” questions that first-time and younger buyers ask most.

Do you help with listing presentation for sellers?

Pre-listing inspections give you a prioritized punch list so sellers can address high-impact items before showings and reduce renegotiations later.

For Home Buyers

How long does a home inspection take?

Most inspections take 2–3 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.

Can I attend the inspection?

Yes! We encourage you to attend the walkthrough so we can answer questions and point out key items in real time.

What will my report include?

You’ll receive a digital report with annotated photos, priority rankings, and clear recommendations within 24 hours.

Do you inspect condos or townhomes?

Yes. We inspect condos and townhomes to catch issues early and protect your investment.

What issues are most common in coastal Virginia homes?

We often see moisture intrusion, aging roofs, HVAC wear, and deck or exterior issues from humidity and salt exposure, so we pay special attention to those systems.

How do I use the report in negotiations?

We highlight safety items and major repairs first, which helps you and your agent focus on the issues that matter most when discussing repairs or credits.
