Real Estate Inspections....Residental, Commerical and Investment Properties
John Heitman Jr, owner of ACBI & HHI, provides thorough and professional real estate inspection services for Realtors, Home Sellers, Buyers, Investment Groups and Lending Institutions. Primary areas served for the past 12 years are the 12 Triad/Piedmont Counties and Foothills of North Carolina, but will travel to any location in NC upon request. I also perform Commercial Property Inspections state wide. I?m licensed and certified by the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board since 2005, a member of the North Carolina Home Inspector Association, National Home Builders Association and a member of the Winston Salem Regional Association of Realtors, Inc. with a ?Supra Ebox Key?, I hold a Contractor, ?Certified Builder? Licenses since 1996. I?m an honorary member of Inter?Nachi.
I have over a decade of experience as a Custom Builder, Renovation Specialist and in Coastal Restorations in states of Florida and North Carolina. My background as a builder and 25 years experience in developing and implementing Quality Inspection Programs ensures a thorough and knowledgeable inspection, with valuable on site and follow up discussion with the client. I provide free consultation service to each client from the date of property purchase.
Reports are in a ?Narrative? detailed format, with a ?Summary of Findings? numbered for easy reference. The report maybe in a ?Checklist Format? if requested. Digital photos are attached separately. The Report is customized to meet the need of properties inspected and is generally available within 24 to 48 hrs, depending on complexity of property inspected. Reports with photos are emailed, but can be hard copy delivered. Potential ?Repair Cost? are not included in the report, but maybe provided upon request as a good faith estimate.
Finding problems should not always be the goal of a home inspection. ?An accurate reflection of the condition of a property is what I try to provide and 99% of the time the inspection report assures the buyer(s) they can proceed without taking a leap into a money pit.? Positive attributes are included in the report and the significant findings are always included in the ?Summary Section? of the report.
Heitman Home Inspections works closely with Real Estate Professionals, Investment Groups and Individual clients to facilitate a smooth and successful property transaction. I understand the time constraints and new guidelines of some transactions and stand ready to provide inspection services even on a short notice. Fees are paid on day of inspection (preferred) or at closing upon request.
