Pricing for all of our inspections is based on the size, age, and complexity of the structure. The easiest way for us to give you an accurate estimate and availability is for you to contact us with a link to the listing, an MLS number, or a property address.
Inspections with Written Reports will have the report provided next day by end of day unless otherwise agreed upon.
"Verbal" Pre-Offer Consultations are a "walk and talk" inspection, and you are required to be there, and encouraged to take notes, pictures, and ask any questions you may have about the property. The purpose and intent of these inspections is to help you better understand the property you are making an offer on. Everything that is looked at in a full inspection, is looked at during the verbal pre-offer consultation, there is just no report provided. No pictures or documentation of the property is done with the exception of limited photos of areas you would not be able to see otherwise (ie: attics, crawlspaces, etc) to help you better understand those areas. If a report is required after the consultation, it will require another visit to the property to perform an inspection with report according to the guidelines set forth by the State of Washington.
Some variables that will affect the price are the following:
Size / Square footage of the structure.
Number of bathrooms and kitchens.
Type and complexity of HVAC (heating/cooling) systems.
Age of the structure.
Access to and/or presence of attics, crawlspaces, and basements.
Presence of ADU's (Additional Dwelling Units)

Defined as a zero lot line home, townhome owners are responsible for the maintenance of the exterior and grounds. Generally there is a "shared maintenance agreement" with the other owners in the complex which can be found in the title documentation. It is recommended to review this agreement carefully. Townhomes are generally less expensive than single family homes because there is usually no crawlspace and minimal attic spaces to access.

Verbal Pre-Offer Consultation Starting at $300
Generally located in a large complex on grounds, they will have shared walls and often a crawlspace and attic to inspect. Even though these are condos with some of the exterior elements maintained by the Homeowners Association (HOA), they are inspected like single family homes. All of the same elements are inspected that are in direct contact with/or may affect the individual unit, but many are smaller than a typical single family detached home.
Inspection w/ Report Starting at $400
Verbal Pre-Offer Consultation Starting at $250
"Flats" or one level condo units are located inside a larger building. All of the exterior and common elements should be maintained by the Homeowners Association (HOA). Careful review of the "resale certificate" is recommended to determine maintenance schedule and financial health of the building. Typically, condo units are inspected "wall-in", meaning only the unit and common areas directly affecting the unit are inspected. Common exterior elements are not fully inspected.
Inspection w/ Report Starting at $700
Verbal Pre-Offer Consultation Starting at $450
Inspection process is the same as a single family home and price is based on the size of the structure and the number of units.
