TRULY THOROUGH HOME INSPECTIONS
JFM Home Inspections is dedicated to providing thorough and professional inspection services to help clients make informed, confident decisions. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a home, we offer detailed inspections that bring clarity to every aspect of the property. Led by Connecticut State Licensed and InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) Jay McNulty, our inspections are performed with precision and attention to detail, ensuring that you have a complete understanding of your property’s condition.
BUYER INSPECTIONS
Buying a home is a major investment, and our buyer inspection service is designed to give you confidence in your decision. We conduct a meticulous examination of the entire property, assessing all major systems and components, including the foundation, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. Our inspection report offers a detailed overview of any existing or potential issues, empowering you with the knowledge needed to negotiate, plan, and proceed with confidence.
SELLER INSPECTIONS
For sellers, a pre-listing inspection is an invaluable tool to ensure a smooth sale process. By identifying and addressing any issues before listing, you can make repairs on your schedule, improve your home’s appeal, and avoid last-minute surprises during negotiations. A pre-listing inspection provides transparency for potential buyers, showing that you are proactive and honest about the home’s condition, which can lead to quicker and more favorable transactions.
