HomePro Inspections' primary role is to help people understand and manage the risks of homeownership. The risks associated with home ownership can never be completely eliminated, but can be greatly reduced. These risks are best understood and managed by your participation in the home inspection with the inspector.

Some simple items in preparation for your home inspection:

• Be sure that permission as well as access to he home has been received from the owner or agent.
• Confirm that all utilities are on (utilities must be on for our inspectors to give a full report).
• Plan between three and four hours to attend the inspection.
• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. The inspector will allow you to accompany him to every location that is not dangerous and that you are comfortable with.
• Bring a flashlight and reading glasses if you need them.
• Please bring your checkbook, credit card, or cash.
• Bring a note pad and any questions that you, friends, or family may have.
• Young children can be a distraction to you. We need your attention to give you the best service.
• Obtain, review, and bring along a copy of the seller's disclosure, previous inspections, and invoices for recent repairs.

We look forward to meeting you and working together. If you have friends, family members or special experts that you would like to meet us and participate, they are most welcome. We want you to be comfortable and well informed. Be assured that you can always call Florida HomePro following the inspection for any questions you may have or clarifications you might need.

Thank you for choosing HomePro Inspections!

A segment that aired on Dateline NBC had many suggestions that should also be considered:

• Attend the entire inspection without interfering with the inspector. Save your questions for the end but before the report is generated.
• Use only a firm that allows you to be able to receive, read, and ask questions about the inspection report before the inspector leaves the site.
• Make sure that the inspector, the inspection firm owner, or other inspectors in the firm do not have a spouse or relative who is a real estate agent or broker. Also, a Real Estate company, bank, etc. should not own the company, partially or wholly.
• Make sure whatever the inspector tells you in person, he puts in writing in the final report. If the inspector states anything about the house that you feel has a significant impact on your decision whether to buy, renegotiate, etc., be sure that statement is recorded in the report in writing.
