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 from the listing, public records, and any specific concerns you or your Realtor share. Then we securely schedule the inspection through MLS and arrive for a thorough on-site evaluation at your preferred date and time.
Next, we complete a detailed inspection using advanced tools to evaluate the foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and all major systems. We follow the NCHILB Standards of Practice for accuracy and consistency. At the end, we include a wrap-up to explain our findings, outline next steps, and answer your questions.
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.
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 our clients have all the information needed to proceed with confidence, whether it’s negotiating repairs or moving forward with the sale.
