• Utilities - Ensure the utilities are on, this includes water, electricity and gas if available.  Water should be available inside the home and electricity should be on in the home, not just turned on at the meters.  You should contact the selling agent to verify that the utilities are on and will remain on for the inspection.  Failure to ensure that utilities are on can lead to a re-inspection which will incur additional cost.
• Access - To perform the home inspection we will need access to the home.  Access can be by one of several options and is usually provided by the selling agent.  We have electronic lockbox access "Supra-e-key" and can gain access with a "CBS" code which is a 7 digit number provided by the selling agent.  We can also gain access with a mechanical lockbox code which is typically 3 or 4 letters or numbers also provided by the selling agent.  If no lockbox code is available either the buying agent or selling agent can unlock the property for us at the scheduled inspection time.  We must have the method of access prior to the inspection.
• Pre-Inspection Agreement - Per State regulations we must have a signed inspection agreement prior to the inspection.  You can click here to print our inspection agreement.  This can be emailed, faxed or brought with you to the home inspection.  Your home inspector will also have a copy at the inspection that you can sign.

That's about all you need to do on your end, we will take it from here to make sure you have a smooth home inspection experience.
