Showing Consultations
A quick, non-invasive review of all major systems, done entirely at the initial showing!
Designed to identify major deal breakers, the Showing Consultation allows buyers to make expedited, stronger, and more confident offers with their current knowledge of the home.
To build a proper repair list, budget, and to line up trade professionals, we strongly encourage our clients to reserve the right to conduct home inspections for informational purposes.
Our flat hourly rate structure allows multiple properties to be analyzed in a set time block. Book multiple showings at once!
To say thank you for using the showing consultation, we are happy to offer a discount on a home inspection for that property.
How It Works
Schedule
The buyer contacts THI, scheduling a set time and place for the inspector to arrive. Unlike traditional home inspections, this scheduled time can be used across multiple properties. This initial time will also be used to estimate a time allotment as well as calculate costs for the buyer.
Assign Inspector
After a time has been scheduled, the inspector most appropriate for the buyer's location and property type will be assigned. The buyer's agent will schedule the showing with the listing agent. It is best to be open about what is taking place as listing agents love offers that waive inspection contingencies.
Inspection
Upon arriving, the buyer's assigned inspector will begin a short, non-invasive, visual only review of all major systems within the home/property. This includes: Attic, Crawlspace, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Structure, and Roof. The inspector can choose at any time to inspect other obvious issues or deal breakers within the home/property.
Summary
After the Showing Consultation has concluded, the buyer will receive a verbal summary of the home/property. This analysis is provided to the buyer on the spot, entirely at the time of the showing. If the buyer is unable to attend, a 3-way call with inspector, client, and agent will be conducted. Buyers and agents are encouraged to take their own pictures and notes.
Additional Information
The pricing structure for this service is at a flat rate of $135/hr, with distance charges if applicable. Sessions are available at a minimum consultation time of 1 hour.
Unlike a traditional inspection, pictures are not provided, as this is not enforceable as a standard home/property inspection would be.
If major issues arise at any time during this consultation, the buyer can choose to upgrade this service to a full inspection or maintenance report. As costs have already been incurred scheduling the consultation, this is considered and appropriately discounted from the following inspection or report. Unless this upgrade takes place at the beginning of the consultation, this service transfer will typically take place at a later scheduled time.
"The Showing Consultations were just what we needed. We flip houses In Nashville and have to make a decision fast without waiting for a full home inspection. The big ticket items were the only concern. Great product, great service."
