Realtors
Over the years, North and South Carolina agents have grown to trust Arnold and Rena McLaurin and their team with their inspection needs. Agents understand a professional real estate inspection benefits all parties involved. The buyers are educated about the property before closing which lets them move forward with confidence in their decisions and there are less surprises on closing day. Over the years, many of our agents have started suggesting pre-listing inspections for their sellers. A pre-listing inspection can help the home sell faster and help their clients get a strong asking price. We’re proud to partner with our agent friends in the Carolinas and the work they do in the area.
If I refer American Property Inspections to a customer, am I liable?
At API we carry thorough Errors and Omissions insurance and General Liability insurance. We also offer negligent referral coverage to help protect real estate professionals in the unlikely event a claim is brought against them for recommending American Property Inspections.
How many items are inspected?
We inspect over 400 items including the foundation, roof, and structural components, plus the visible electrical, plumbing, and mechanical operating systems of the property.
What will my client receive in writing as part of the inspection?
API provides a detailed inspection report that includes color photos to reference.
How long does an inspection take, and does my client need to be present?
The process usually takes two to three hours depending on size, age and condition of the home and any additional services provided. Since the goal of a home inspection is not just to inspect the property but also to educate the homeowner or potential buyer about the property’s condition, it is in your client’s best interest to be present during the inspection.
What are your inspector’s qualifications?
Our staff is both highly trained and certified to meet the highest industry standards. We also take ongoing training seriously and complete additional continuing education on an annual basis.
