In a word: yes. Being there — especially for the walk-through — turns a written report into a hands-on education about the home you're about to buy.

You're welcome at the inspection, and we encourage you to come — particularly for the walk-through at the end. Seeing a finding in person, like where water has stained a basement wall or how a furnace's age is showing, sticks with you far better than reading about it. It's also your chance to ask questions while you're standing in front of the actual issue.
If your schedule won't allow it, that's okay too — you'll still get a complete report, and we're happy to walk through it by phone.
Photos are great, but standing in the attic or basement makes a finding real and memorable.
Get plain-English answers on the spot instead of guessing later from a report.
You'll find out where the main water shutoff, panel, and furnace filter are — things every owner should know.
We help you separate true safety issues from cosmetic items so you negotiate the right things.
You'll learn how to care for the home through Minnesota's hard winters and humid summers.
Seeing the condition firsthand makes negotiation — or walking away — a much easier call.
You don't need to shadow the inspector for the entire visit. The most valuable time is the walk-through near the end, when we summarize the biggest findings and answer your questions. Bring a notepad or your phone, wear shoes you don't mind getting dusty, and come with any questions about the home. Want a head start? Bring our buyer's checklist and ask about anything on it.
