Planning estimate only. Actual prices may vary based on property size, age, condition, systems, foundation, access, location, requested services, and final scope. We confirm the price before you commit.

Pay at Closing / FlexFund

Put the report to work before closing.

For eligible transactions, Pay at Closing lets buyers defer the inspection payment until closing instead of paying upfront.

Negotiation context

A buyer’s Realtor can use documented inspection findings to pursue a price adjustment or seller contribution that may help offset the inspection cost. The result depends on the agreement, the seller, and the transaction; no concession is guaranteed.
