Home Inspections

An Ohio NAHI Member will be the most important visitor to walk through your door . . . yard, attic, basement, and living room!

In fact there are not many places an Ohio NAHI member will not go in your home. Whether you are buying or selling a home, a NAHI member will provide a thorough, professional home inspection that will make the transition smoother and ease concerns of both parties.

Buyers and Sellers will benefit from a home inspection.
A home inspection is an evaluation of a home's condition by a trained professional. The inspection is conducted with fairness and impartiality to all. A thorough written report within NAHI guidelines provides disclosure of visible defects and/or conditions that will affect the function of the home. The buyer will be informed of the condition of the purchase. The seller will increase the home's marketability and eliminate last minute repairs that slow down the selling process.

An Ohio NAHI member will inspect:
- Property and Landscaping - Insulation and Ventilation
- Sidewalks and Driveways - Safety Devices
- Heating, Plumbing, and Air Conditioning - Electrical System
- Roof, Chimney, and Gutter - Doors and Windows
- Foundation and Structural Support System

An Ohio NAHI member can reduce risk.
A home inspector's purpose is to reduce the amount of risk involved with a real estate transaction. It does not eliminate all the dangers, but a NAHI member can identify problems that the consumer would not. An inspection will definitely better inform you of a home's condition.

A Home Inspection is NOT:
- A pass/fail examination.
- A warranty or guarantee.
- Intended to determine whether the house complies with local codes.
- An inspection into inaccessible areas of the house.

Get the most out of a home inspection by:
- Attending the inspection - Asking questions
- Taking notes during the inspection - Reading the report

Only professionals are NAHI members.
An Ohio NAHI inspector is well qualified, with experience in all phases of home inspection. NAHI members meet standards of excellence and follow comprehensive inspection guidelines. Each member is required to follow strict rules that are stated in the NAHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. Every NAHI applicant's credentials are reviewed to ascertain that members have training and experience to conduct a professional home inspection.
