Navigation"Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the work that you did for my Long island home inspection. From beginning to end the inspectors were professional, courteous and above all, informative. The inspection report was easy to read and the supplemental materials are great. I especially liked that I was able to have the termite inspection completed at the time of the initial inspection. Thanks again for a job well done. I won't hesitate to recommend you in the future to friends and family."

Are Good Thorough Home Inspectors Deal Killers?
Submitted by HankJaworowski on May 3, 2010 - 9:45am.
Many real estate agents refer to good home inspectors as "Deal Killers". Thorough home inspectors do not kill deals, buyers and sellers failing to negotiate the terms of the sale is what kills the deal. Some realtors do not understand that we are doing our job as home inspectors to disclose defects we encounter. If their clients did not disclose to them that there were leaks in the roof or the foundation had cracks in it that is not our fault. Perhaps if all agents required their clients to have a pre-listing home inspection, a great many deals would not fall through because all the problems are out in the open. Sometimes we encounter difficult realtors, the ones that do not believe in full disclosure when it comes to discovering defects on a property. It is important to educate realtors on the ethical and legal requirements to disclose defects when we are inspecting and reporting them to our clients. Many realtors do not understand the legal ramifications for not reporting defects when observed, and real estate is a very litigous business. This may be why some real estate agents only recommend the worst home inspectors. Always choose a thorough independent inspector who is not afraid to disclose all the defects that are found.  |

"After already having one home inspection previously by another individual/business, these guys blew him away in their thoroughness, likeability, and knowledge. On top of that, they have the educational degrees and contractor backgrounds to really know how things should be done. Lastly, they provided me with alternatives and ways to fix problems, along with anticipated costs and needs. I thank them so much and am excited to move into our new home soon." ---Dan C. Wantagh, NY "I was intrigued and impressed by the model of two inspectors, and appreciated their quick reply and ease of scheduling. We've used Precision twice now, for two separate homes, and could not be more satisfied. They have a distinct focus on educating the owner about the house they are purchasing. And not just about the house as it is, but forward-looking maintenance, too. They were thorough, spent time answering our questions, and provided a very clear, easy to read report with many photographs. We could not offer a stronger endorsement of using them for a Long Island Home Inspection." -- Todd P., Ph.D., Port Jefferson, NY" "Thank you so much Precision Home Inspection for your thorough and professional Long Island home inspection. You took the time to walk me through the whole home explaining everything every step of the way and made me confident in my purchase going into closing. I thank you for also being available and flexible for my final walk through. I will recommend your service to anyone purchasing a home."- D. Pickett |
