AIS Home Inspectors – Frisco Texas

Our team has inspected homes in Frisco, McKinney and nearby Dallas suburbs for more than 30 years. We also examine and assess commercial real estate and multi-family dwellings. But our main focus is on single-family residential properties. In the past few years, development and resales have increased tremendously in North Texas. So we’re inspecting more Frisco houses, condos and townhomes all the time.

With the recent building boom in the DFW area, we’ve seen a lot of development in the I-75 corridor from Richardson out to Plano and beyond. In fact, we’re doing more McKinney property evaluations than ever. But our Frisco home inspections have really surged in the past two years. We conduct these for both homebuyers and sellers.

Inspections for Frisco Homebuyers

Most of our clients are prospective buyers. In our frenzied real estate market, you can count on several buyers making offers on a house or condo as soon as it is listed. This heightened competition makes it imperative to have financing lined up (or pay cash). And most realtors advise buyers to get the home inspection done as soon as possible. Sellers feel more receptive to offers that have solid financing, few contingencies and short closing dates. We make it a priority to schedule and complete home inspections for Frisco clients within a few days. The knowledge and speed we provide gives our clients a decided advantage in this hyper-competitive landscape.

When examining homes in Frisco, we survey and assess all major structures and systems. Beginning outside the residence, we evaluate drainage and inspect roof exterior, gutters and downspouts. Then we do a complete foundation inspection. We’re looking primarily for any evidence of moisture or water-related anomalies here. Then we scrutinize the sidewalks and driveways for potential damage and safety issues.

Moving indoors, we check out and analyze the electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. And also evaluate the operation of appliances and plumbing fixtures. Throughout the process, we are probing, testing and reinspecting to identify any aspects of the house that could pose safety hazards or necessitate expensive repairs. Our detailed reports provide the ammunition clients need to make buy/no buy decisions — and negotiate a good sales price.

Property Inspections for Frisco Sellers

Although we perform fewer Frisco home inspections for sellers, these are arguably even more valuable than the audits we conduct for buyers. We find deficiencies, potential trouble areas and even minor cosmetic issues before the house is listed on MLS. This enables the seller to make necessary repairs. Before the first open house visitor, buyer, or buyer’s inspector views the property. As you might expect, a lay homeowner cannot detect some of the most significant deficiencies and potential issues. Some of  the more insidious forms of foundation deterioration, electrical faults, wind and water damage are difficult to evaluate. It takes a highly trained and experienced expert with sophisticated analytic tools to effectively scrutinize a house or condominium.

Buyers strongly prefer properties with no significant problems and a favorable home inspector’s report. This clean bill of health puts the seller in a much better bargaining position. Contrast that with a situation where the buyer finds problems during an Open House or showing. Any uncertainty or suspicion about the extent of damage or prospective repair costs can cause a buyer to move on to another listing.

Don’t lose a potential sale by letting a buyer find problems with your house. Get it inspected and remedy any issues before listing the property. Call AIS today to schedule your Frisco home inspection! (972) 342-9183

AIS Home Inspector Costs – Frisco Texas

Our fees for home inspections are based on the square footage of the house, and range from $320 for a 1000 sq.ft. townhouse or condo to $590 for a 5000 sq. ft. mansion. Many clients tell us this is one of the best investments they’ve ever made. Our inspections enabled them to avoid buying a seriously flawed structure – or negotiate much lower prices. You can imagine how this information could easily save you thousands of dollars and lots of headaches.

We charge separately for specialized systems inspections (not needed for all properties):

  • Sprinkler Systems
  • Pier and Beam Foundation Inspections
  • Termite Inspections including all Wood Destroying Insects (WDI)
  • Swimming Pools and related plumbing, heating and electrical equipment
  • Inspecting Frisco homes built before 1975

These modest costs are negligible compared to the expense of repairing or replacing these systems or structures. Definitely a smart investment.

Advanced Inspection Service – Frisco TX 75034

Buying a home can be a wonderful life event and an exciting process. It can also create stress and uncertainty. In 30+ years of inspecting homes, our inspectors have seen houses that were nearly perfect — and a few that were really troublesome. Your Frisco realtor is a trained professional who can advise you on property selection, help you select a dwelling that meets your needs, and guide you through the purchase process.

Like your realtor, your home inspector is a specialist who can help you understand the soundness, safety and value of the house or condo you want to buy. Building components, mechanical an electrical systems often have arcane terminology. So we are always glad to explain these to our clients. One of our hallmarks is taking photos of defects (and potential problem areas) to illustrate for the client what we found and what the consequences might be. Sometimes clients are put off by cosmetic flaws that a handyman could remedy easily and inexpensively. Other times we find an anomaly hidden in an attic or crawlspace that indicates neglected maintenance or potential structural deterioration. A picture IS worth a thousand words.

We pride ourselves on providing great customer service and ‘no surprises’. Our inspectors are well aware of the competitive nature of the Frisco real estate market. They understand the need to get home inspections scheduled and completed quickly. We do a thorough job to identify issues that impact the livability, safety and value of the dwelling. Let us help you decide on your dream home and get a great deal.
