Advantage Home Inspection Raleigh

As a Raleigh Realtor — I have used Advantage Inspection and their warranty service for several years and dozens of transactions. They have saved my buyers thousands of dollars by making the repair requests easy to negotiate and are available to talk with buyers during and after the inspection. When sellers have had «pre-​inspections» and addressed the recommended repairs, they get a higher price for their homes. Always a win-​win.

This was the biggest waste of money in all of our real estate transactions (we currently own 3 houses in the area). The guy who came did not have a tool box or a ladder with him, could not open an entry way to the space with the air handler because it needed to be removed with 1 screw. The report showed that the gutters were in «good condition» — we have NO gutters on the house, he spent less than 1 hour on a house that is almost 3000 sq feet. All the report showed that windows «may be failed» hot water heater «appears in working condition». It was a joke to say the least because he never said anything concrete one way or another; I guess that keeps them protected from anyone being able to use their warranty/​insurance. I have had properties inspected before in this area and gotten detailed reports that included many photographs of all things reported on, this report cost $ 400 and had only 1 photo of the front of the house. The man I spoke to on the phone sounded very professional and knowledgeable, the man who came to the inspection was someone different. I would never use this company again and I feel that I threw away my money. I took the recommendation of the realtor at the time — big mistake.

Absolutely the best, most comprehensive and detailed home inspection service I have ever used and I’ve bought and sold over 10 homes in Raleigh in the last 15 years. TOP SHELF.
