REVIEW NOTE: Licensed home inspector review required before launch.
What an inspection is
A general home inspection is a visual assessment of a property's condition by a licensed inspector — systems, structure, roof, and more.
In Florida, wind-mitigation and four-point inspections also commonly affect insurance conversations.
Using the findings
Inspection results inform decisions: proceed, negotiate repairs or credits, or walk away within your contract's terms.
No inspection sees everything. Specialty inspections (pool, septic, WDO) exist for a reason.
