Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Inspection
Before you close on a home, an independent inspection tells you exactly what you're buying — not what the listing says. NorTech connects you with an inspector for a full, whole-home condition report covering every major system, rated and photographed.
Pre-purchase inspections across the Bay Area
Buying a home without an independent inspection means relying entirely on the seller's disclosures. NorTech connects you with an inspector who checks plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, the roof and attic, exterior structures, and indoor surfaces and major appliances, then delivers a written, photographed report organized by system — real information to negotiate with or walk away informed, before you're locked into a closing date.
Using the report to negotiate
A documented, photographed finding carries more weight in a repair-credit negotiation than a general concern raised without evidence. The written report gives you specific, system-by-system findings to bring to the table, whether you're asking for a price adjustment, a repair before closing, or simply deciding whether to move forward at all.
What a general inspection doesn't cover
A standard whole-home inspection is visual and non-invasive, so it won't catch everything — sewer line condition, termite activity, and mold each have their own specialized inspection for a reason. Your inspector can flag when a specific finding warrants one of those follow-up checks.
