WAIVER'S REMORSE INSPECTION
So. You waived inspection to compete in the tough market... It's okay, we get it. But now you're wondering if you made a wise investment with all your hard-earned money. You need a Waiver's Remorse inspection. Also called a Major Systems inspection; it focuses only on the essential components of the home. You already own it, you know where the peeling paint and cosmetic defects are. But you want to know the home's secrets.

TRUTH IN SALE OF HOUSING (TISH) OR POINT-OF-SALE EVALUATION
Prior to listing your home for sale, some parts of the Twin Cities metro require a Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH), Time-of-Sale or Point-of-Sale Inspection. These inspections aren't as detailed as a buyer's inspection, but they help cities ensure that homes in the community meet minimum standards set forth by evolving residential building codes.

Single Family Home: $260.00
Multiplex: add $50 per unit
Condo & 1st Time Condo Conversion: $195.00

RADON MEASUREMENT
Radon is a gas that can cause cancer if breathed at high concentrations over long periods of time. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends correction of all homes with Radon levels in excess of 4.0 pCi/L.
A 48-hour radon test by a licensed professional is the best way to evaluate radon levels within the time constraint of a Real Estate inspection contingency.
48-hour Continuous Monitoring is priced as follows:
As part of Home Inspection : $175.00
Radon Test alone : $200.00
Extra Foundation: $25.00 per unit. Some homes have more than one foundation type (basement, crawl space, slab, etc.). Such homes require multiple tests be conducted simultaneously.
