What is an Independent Inspector?
We strongly believe that there must be no relationship between the real estate agent, broker, contractor and the inspector. An independent inspector does not receive business from real estate agents. Which means he is not recommended by an agent, does not expect repeat business from an agent and therefore has no loyalties to the agent. Real Estate agents are in a position to control the transaction and they will do so if you let them. They may recommend three inspectors, (they know well and have used), confident that their inspector will not upset their real estate deal and commission. Why would a real estate agent risk loosing a sale by hiring a thorough inspector that might kill the deal? It is a fact that real estate agents will hire inspectors partial to their position in the transaction, not the clients. It is a major conflict of interest for a real estate agent to recommend any inspector! Suncoast Inspections.com was the first and is the longest active member of the Independent Home Inspectors of North America (IHINA) in the Tampa Bay – Florida area.
Why do we videotape?
The primary reason is to document the current condition of the dwelling at the time of inspection. It also documents what was inspected and uncovered by the inspector. A camera has the ability to capture much more than a single still photo. The tape is archived for over five years and is available for our clients should they ever need it, for litigation or insurance purposes.
Suncoast Inspections.com was the first Tampa Bay area certified inspection company to offer HD videotaping service for every residential and commercial inspection and cost estimates of the repairs. Whether you are across town, out of the state, or out of the country, Suncoast Inspections.com provides you with a video-taped inspection of your home or commercial building. If you cannot attend your inspection, let Suncoast Inspections.com bring your inspection to you via video tape. Additional fees apply.
Our primary service areas are: Tampa, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Pasco, Manatee, and Hernando counties, however, we do travel throughout the entire state of Florida.
