Residential Pre-Purchase Inspection

"Buying a home is the largest investment most people ever make. A thorough pre-purchase inspection lets you set the emotion aside and decide based on the home's true condition."

A pre-purchase inspection is AccuPro's most-requested service — and for good reason. Before you commit to one of the largest purchases of your life, Tom Cely gives you a complete, impartial picture of the home's true condition, so you can move forward with confidence, negotiate from a position of knowledge, or walk away with clear eyes.

A Complete, Top-to-Bottom Evaluation

What's Included in a Pre-Purchase Inspection

A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough evaluation of the home's visible and accessible systems and components — inside and out. Tom examines the roof, exterior, attic, walls, ceilings and floors, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation and crawlspace or basement, and the grounds and irrigation.

Every finding is documented with clear, high-resolution photos and delivered in a written report free of jargon — typically within 24 hours. Tom also provides an informative post-inspection field summary of the major points and answers any questions or concerns you have. And because your peace of mind matters, one re-inspection of any agreed-upon repairs is included in the inspection fee.

Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, you walk away knowing exactly what you're buying — and what, if anything, needs attention.

When You Should Schedule This Inspection

Common Reasons Buyers Request a Pre-Purchase Inspection

Under contract on a home is the most common scenario — most purchase agreements include an inspection period, and a pre-purchase inspection is how you make the most of it. Scheduling promptly gives you time to review findings, ask questions, and decide on next steps before contingencies expire.

First-time buyers rely on the inspection to understand a home's systems and what owning it will involve — Tom takes the time to explain things clearly so you start ownership informed. Experienced buyers and investors use it to confirm condition and protect their negotiating position.

Real estate agents across the CSRA refer their clients to Tom because his thoroughness, fast report turnaround, and plain-language explanations keep transactions moving smoothly toward closing.

Common Trigger Events

  • Under contract — inspection period
  • First-time home purchase
  • Relocating to the CSRA
  • Buying an older or as-is home
  • Investment property due diligence
  • Real estate agent referrals

Most pre-purchase inspections take a few hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Tom takes the time needed to do the job right — rushing an inspection defeats its whole purpose.

Should I be present during the inspection?

You're welcome to be. Following the inspection, Tom provides an informative field summary of the major points and answers any questions or concerns you have, so you understand the findings clearly.

What if repairs are needed after the inspection?
