WHY GET A HOME INSPECTION?

A professional home inspection is your best tool when it comes to making the most of your home investment. Whether you are buying or selling, an objective professional inspection will provide you with important information that you can use.
​
​If you're buying, you want to know that the home you are considering is safe and sound. You want to avoid unwelcome and costly surprises. Nearly 3 out of 4 U.S. homeowners say that a home inspection helped them avoid potential problems with their new home, according to a poll from The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI).

If you're selling a home you will need to make full disclosure of any and all deficiencies. You'll want to know what, if any, repairs to make so you can market your home most effectively. A 2018 poll by REALTORS® says that sellers waiting for a buyer to have a home inspection completed was responsible for 19% of contracts being delayed or falling through entirely. Don't let that happen to you!

Whichever side of the "For Sale" sign your on, a quality home inspection is essential.

WHY NORTHWOOD Property Inspection?

We understand how important a quality inspection is to you, that's why we take customer service seriously. You won't be passed around from person to person. Instead when you call, you'll talk to a Certified Master Inspector, licensed in the state of Illinois, the same one who will inspect your property and write your report. Want someone to walk you through the report? The same inspector who wrote it will boil every section down for you. Because with peace of mind — there is no room for a middleman.

INSPECTIONS ARE FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE FOR SALE SIGN

FOR THE BUYER
You want as much information as possible about the home you are considering for purchase, and a comprehensive home inspection offers important protection for your investment. Our inspection evaluates home safety, and structural & mechanical soundness. We look for any risks to your family's health. We identify potential maintenance issues and help you eliminate unwelcome surprises.
FOR THE SELLER
Our home inspection gives you a powerful marketing tool to set your home apart from the rest. We point out repairs that you may wish to make before you put your home up for sale. Our evaluation and report provide the information you need to make full disclosure prior to sale. This will differentiate your property from the competition and minimize any surprises. A pre-sale home inspection can be your competitive edge when it comes to offering the buyer greater peace of mind.
