Homebuyers and Investors,

I am your independent home inspector. You're the boss; I work directly for you the homebuyer, seller or investor. I inspect based on accepted standards plus your specific concerns and needs. You will receive an unbiased and accurate report within 24 hours of the inspection. Partial reports can be done for a reduced fee, or for investors or long-distance buyers, I can do photo only reports starting at only $100; these are not inspections but photos with brief descriptive captions.

Once you schedule your inspection, you can request of free copy of my new book, Home Inspection Step x Step, to help you get the most from your inspection, including my Environmental Checklist used to assess factors not included in standard inspections. No other inspection service offers this value. Kindle edition here.

How important is it to get a home inspection in Georgia? Well, Georgia law specifically states that home sales fall under the old rule of "caveat emptor" or buyer beware! Therefore, the law encourages home buyers to protect themselves with a thorough, unbiased home inspection by a qualified home inspector. Eriksen Home Inspections is the only independent home inspector in south Georgia and will ensure you are made aware of all material defects, safety issues and potential trouble spots within and without your prospective home.

Take advantage of my first-hand knowledge to make your negotiation and home purchase an informed and smart move. You will be fully satisfied or your fee returned.

Best wishes,
John Eriksen

Bats love a good steep ridge vent. This one is clear.

Toilet is leaking to the left of the wax seal. Thermal image shows what the naked eye does not see.

P.S. if you are not represented by an agent or your house pick is from Zillow or other FSBO online site, my report will be a critical advocate in support of any counter-offer or negotiations during your contract's due diligence clause time period.

Every property is different in size and complexity. Talk to me about your specific property so we can determine a fair price. My pricing guidelines are included in the links to the left.

My Promise to You

How do you choose the right home inspector?

Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won't meet your home inspector until inspection day arrives. How can you be sure of his or her qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing?

I answer all these questions up front. I pledge to inspect thoroughly, taking the time needed to cover each component of your property.

I will document factual observations, both good and bad, that I find in your home.

A thorough home inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s hands-on experience, initiative and effort, not just a smart phone loaded with pre-programmed comments.

If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort to find all critical faults and defects that may linger there and to comment on evidence and clues that could indicate the possibility of further unseen latent defects.

This is my promise to you.
