Simple process
A house can look perfect at an open home and still hide moisture, a tired roof or quiet workmanship problems that the average buyer would never spot.
A pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent, builder's read on the property before you commit - so you can buy with confidence, negotiate, or walk away. It could cost a few hundred dollars. The problems it flags could cost far more.

We were incredibly impressed with the building inspection done by Nick from Home Wise. The level of detail and the ability to identify important issues, including things missed by two previous inspection companies, gave us real confidence as buyers. Nick's knowledge, thoroughness, and clear explanations were invaluable.
Very happy with the pre-purchase inspection Homewise completed for us. Nick was amazing to deal with, incredibly responsive, and provided a clear, detailed report. Being a first home buyer, having someone of Nick's experience point out the things to be aware of has provided so much more comfort.
Nick helped us with a pre-purchase inspection and couldn't be more impressed. He was incredibly thorough, checking every nook and cranny from the crawlspace to the roof. The final report was delivered quickly, full of high-res photos, and easy-to-understand explanations. If you want peace of mind before signing a contract, look no further.
Our experience with HomeWise was awesome. Nick was super prompt with communication and gave us a really detailed report, and helped us steer clear of a property that had a lot of fairly major issues which weren't obviously visible. Definitely using again.
