………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. You have just put in an offer on your new home. Once you signed your contract the clock starts ticking. Certain things, like the appraisal, survey, and home inspections have to be done within a certain time period. Here at Florida Home Inspection Team Inc, our job is to thoroughly inspect your home and alert you to any deficiencies, whether large or small, that need to be addressed. Some items will be maintenance issues, some issues will be minor in nature, but some could be major issues that need immediate attention. There may be areas that need further investigation, prior to closing, that need to be investigated to determine the extent of damage. Our reports should be read by both our clients and their Realtors and / or real estate attorneys. The report help assist in your understanding of the condition of the home, and can be used to try and negotiate a lower price (if there are major issues) or can even be used to back out of the contract if the seller is not willing to make any concessions.

- Residential Home Inspections
- Commercial Building Inspections
- New Constructions Walk Throughs
- Construction Draw Inspections
- Roof and Termite (by a licensed company)

There are several important issues to know before you hire your home inspector. When licensing went into effect in July of 2011 there were approximately 5000 licenses issued. A lot of these were done through last minute schools that found loop holes in the system to push students through. Just as with any other profession, such as electricians, auto mechanics, HVAC contractors, etc, which I am sure all of you have used at one time or another, not all licensed home inspectors are the same. You need to find out about their experience, how long have they been in business, are they part time or full time inspectors, time spent on the inspection, turn around time for reports, type of reporting system used, and what exactly are they going to inspect and how are they going to inspect it. It is always a good idea to ask for a copy of a report so you can get a better understanding of the inspector and what type of reports he generates.
As of today, which is the end of 2011, there are no written standards of practice in the State of Florida. Find out how your inspector is going to inspect your roof, electrical system, plumbing system, appliances, attic, and pool (if present). Remember, you are buying experience when you hire Florida Home Inspection Team Inc. We are full time and have been in business for over 10 years. We inspect every home as if it were to be our own.
A home is like a car, but on a much larger scale. It constantly needs care, and items need to be fixed, upgraded, or replaced. Florida Home Inspection Team Inc will let you know what condition your home is in, give you an idea of when item are at the end of their prospective life span, and let you know of problem areas that may need further investigation to determine potential problems.
