Navigate Your Home Purchase with Three Simple Steps:

Reliable Home Inspection G.U.I.D.E™

This process provides transparency, clarity, and actionable insights, differentiating ReliHI in the market.

We begin by gathering essential details about the property and the client’s concerns. This involves reviewing past reports, communicating with the client, and scheduling a thorough on-site inspection. Our process ensures that we know the property’s history, the client’s goals, and any areas of focus before we begin.

Next, we analyze the property’s condition through a detailed inspection using advanced technology and tools. We understand the current state of each component, whether it’s the foundation, roofing, electrical systems, or plumbing. Our team follows the NCHILB Standards of Practice to ensure nothing is overlooked, and we invite homeowners and realtors into the process to uncover key insights and set expectations.

Using the “DDID” method (Describe, Determine, Implication, Direction), we identify issues with precision:

Describe: Clearly describe the system or component being inspected and any areas of concern.

Determine: Identify what’s wrong with the system and highlight any defects, malfunctions, or deficiencies.

Implication: Explain the potential consequences of leaving the issue unaddressed, including safety risks or future costs.

Direction: Provide actionable guidance on what needs to be done—repair, replace, monitor, or seek further professional evaluation.

With a clear understanding of the property’s condition, we develop a detailed report, including visuals and explanations. We present several key findings to help clients and realtors prioritize next steps. Our collaborative feedback process ensures clarity for all parties, helping us refine the report to meet client needs.

Finally, we ensure our findings and recommendations are delivered efficiently. Reports are typically delivered within a 24-hour timeframe, with follow-up available to discuss concerns. We make sure realtors and homeowners have all the information needed to proceed with confidence, whether it’s negotiating repairs or moving forward with the sale.

What to Expect with Your Home Inspection

Ensure all areas of the home are accessible (attics, basements, panels). Confirm all utilities (water, gas, electricity) are on. If available, gather documents like repair or inspection records for review.

Our goal is to keep the inspection process clear and simple. Most inspections take about 4 hours, depending on the home. We encourage homeowners and realtors to join the wrap-up to review findings.

After the report is delivered, our support continues with post-inspection consultations to review findings and answer questions. You can schedule a call anytime for further guidance, and we provide home maintenance tips in the final report to help with long-term care.
