FAQs
Good questions make better decisions.
Here are practical answers to the questions buyers and sellers ask most often before an inspection.
01How long does a home inspection take?+
A typical inspection takes 2 to 3 hours. Timing can vary with the home’s size, condition, and access to mechanical systems.
02What do you examine?+
R.M.C. inspects the major systems of the house, including roof, exterior, structure, electrical, heating, cooling, plumbing, insulation, ventilation, and interior.
03Can I attend the inspection?+
Yes. Clients are encouraged to attend, follow along, and ask questions. It is a valuable learning experience for many homebuyers.
04What is included in the fee?+
The published FAQ includes a complete home inspection by an experienced professional, a comprehensive written report, and technical support for as long as you own the home.
05Can I ask questions during the inspection?+
Absolutely. Bring questions about the property and ask for clarification whenever an observation or explanation needs more context.
06What should I wear, and can I bring my family?+
Dress comfortably for walking through the home. R.M.C. recommends keeping distractions to a minimum during this technical evaluation so you can focus on the inspection.
07Do I need to take notes?+
No. The written report documents the findings, so you can focus on listening, asking questions, and understanding the property during the inspection.
08When do I get the written report?+
The published FAQ says the report is delivered within 24 hours after the inspection and includes a summary plus detail on the major systems.
09Will you tell me not to buy the home?+
R.M.C. reports on the property’s condition, potential repairs, and likely expenses. The purchase decision remains yours, with input from your real estate professional.
10Do you offer a warranty?+
A home inspection is a professional opinion based on accessible conditions at the time of inspection. Some issues can only appear with use, weather, or changes behind finished surfaces, so the business does not offer a warranty on the house.
11What are the inspector’s qualifications?+
R.M.C. describes its inspector as licensed and certified, with broad hands-on construction experience. Randy Wyant is also listed by InterNACHI as a Certified Professional Inspector and by a Puget Sound inspection team as a Washington State licensed Home Inspector and Sewer Scope Inspector.
12Are you part of a professional organisation?+
Randy Wyant has a public InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector profile. The company site also displays affiliation marks, which should be confirmed before publishing as named credentials.
13How much notice do I need?+
When a sale is conditional on inspection results, R.M.C. recommends allowing at least three days to arrange an inspection.
