Scheduling to Inspection
Schedule
The first step to an inspection with Property Inspections Plus, is to schedule through our online calendar. Pick a date and time and enter your information to save the time. We will make contact with the listing agent to attempt to gain access and confirmation for the inspection. Please send any information or requests to my email at homeinspectordanaz@gmail.com
Sign Agreement
We will get your appointment request, review it, and then forward you our agreement to sign before the inspection. After the agreement is signed, we will send you an invoice to be paid at anytime before or at the inspection. We accept Cash, Check, or online payments with credit card through Stripe, Zelle, Venmo or Paypal.
Inspection
Come inspection day, we will start at the time you have selected and look forward to meeting you at the walk-through, where we can go through the findings together. Don't be afraid to ask questions at the walkthrough. We should go over the location of all shutoffs for utilities in case of a leak or emergency.
Post-inspection
We will send you a report with items highlighted for repair or consideration within 24 hours. The Firehouse Pest Termite Warranty goes into affect after the inspection, in case any activity begins between the inspection and move-in date. You are covered!
