Why Home Inspection Matters
For Buyers, Sellers & Real Estate Professionals
Whether you’re buying, selling, or facilitating a real estate transaction, a professional home inspection is essential to understanding the true condition of a property. At Mike Holmes Inspections, we deliver thorough, unbiased evaluations of a home’s structure, systems, and components—empowering all parties to make informed, confident decisions.
For Buyers
A home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. A professional home inspection helps protect that investment by identifying potential issues in key areas such as the foundation, roof, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems—before you finalize your purchase. Avoid unexpected surprises and costly repairs by gaining a clear picture of the property’s condition.
For Sellers
A pre-listing inspection can be a powerful tool. By identifying and addressing issues before putting your home on the market, you can improve its condition, boost its value, and reduce last-minute negotiations. It also builds buyer trust and helps ensure a smoother, faster transaction.
For Real Estate Agents
As a trusted advisor, your reputation is built on transparency and reliability. Recommending a certified home inspection shows your clients that you’re committed to their best interests—whether they’re buying or selling. A pre-listing inspection can help you and your sellers prioritize repairs, while a buyer’s inspection ensures they move forward with peace of mind. It’s a smart way to add credibility and professionalism to every transaction.
Having an inspection completed before a home hits the market allows agents and sellers to work together to make strategic improvements. For buyers, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the home they’re about to purchase.
Be Present at Your Home Inspection
Whether you’re buying or selling, we strongly recommend being present during the inspection. This is one of the most important financial decisions of your life—and you deserve to fully understand what your money is buying or selling.
Being on-site allows you to ask questions in real-time, address any concerns directly with the inspector, and gain a deeper understanding of the home’s systems. While no home is perfect, being able to assess and understand the condition of the property will help you make a confident, informed decision.

Our Home Inspector Nathan Boucher was exceptional! A true professional who was very focused and diligent throughout the entire process. He made sure to take the necessary time to fully understand our property and provided detailed notes every step of the way. Nathan was extremely friendly and easy to work with, especially during the summary portion where he made us feel extremely confident in our purchase decision, while also being very clear and honest regarding the advisable work that needs to be done. I can not recommend Nathan and Mike Holmes Inspections highly enough and will certainly be doing so to anyone who crosses my path. Thanks Nathan!

Kory was a wonderful inspector. He is knowledgeable, personable, and experienced. I never felt like he was rushing to get through the inspection of my house. His explanations to me were thorough and detailed, and he was able to explain issues he found in a way that I could understand. He was lovely to work with and I trusted his opinions and recommendations. From booking the inspection to getting the final report, I had a great experience and am happy I went with Mike Holmes inspections.
