Whole House Inspection Checklist

By Tim Carter
©1993-2008 Tim Carter
Summary: Are you prepared to catch a bunch of the flaws as you casually walk through that house you are thinking of buying?

Why hire an expensive home inspector if you can use my affordable checklist to ELIMINATE a house from your list?

Click Here to Buy the Checklist

Think about this: Why pay an inspector $400 or more dollars to tell you something you might discover on your own? The home(s) you are looking at may contain all sorts of flaws that can cost you lots of money after you move in.

Once you finally find a house that looks great using my checklist, THEN you pick up the phone and call the professional inspector!

If you think those FREE or less-expensive checklists you and I have seen on the Internet are going to help you, stop reading NOW! And while you are reading the $400 inspection report telling you why you shouldn't buy the house, keep repeating these words:

I GOT what I PAID for. I GOT what I PAID for.....

And a year from now after you have moved into the home and 3 or 4 defects surface AFTER and you are on the phone with your attorney, repeat those same words.

Do you want a powerful tool that will allow you to objectively uncover flaws and mistakes in the houses you are looking at?

If so, you need my Existing Home Checklist. The best part is that it can be yours less than 90 seconds from now.

 

! Easy-to-Open .pdf file DELIVERED INSTANTLY !

 

This checklist contains over 100 Vital Things you MUST look at as you walk through the houses you look at.

Also included are some great tips you need to know before you make an offer on any house. How do I know these? I happen to be a licensed real estate broker in Ohio among other things. So I know just a little bit about buying homes and what people should look for.

Each item needs to be inspected to make sure you avoid getting intoxicated by the house's sizzle.

My checklist allows you to protect thousands of dollars of your money. Once completed, you have a written record you can look at and review after you walk out of the door. If you visit several homes on the same day, you can print multiple copies and compare one checklist against the other. My checklist forces you to look at specific things in each of these areas and more:

  • SERIOUS Site or Lot Problems
  • Driveways
  • Decks
  • Patios
  • Roof
  • Furnace
  • Air Conditioning
  • Plumbing System
  • Kitchen
  • Bath
  • Foundation
  • Crawlspace
  • Electric System
  • Windows
  • Doors
  • Fireplace
  • Attic
  • and More!
