Buyer Resources

The Priority One Homes Team has more than 25 combined years of experience in real estate sales or home building. As a result, we have developed an extensive list of professionals that we are confident in referring to customers.

When purchasing a home, one of the most important steps of that purchase will be determining if inspections of the property are needed, and if so, which ones are needed and who is capable of providing that service. For your reference, we have provided you with a list of inspectors that we know and trust.

In addition to listing these professionals, we have also found that once closed, many new homeowner’s have a “honey-do” list that includes painting, fence repair or replacement, pool cleaning, housekeeping, plumbing, electrical or A/C repair, wood decay repair, kitchen and bathroom remodeling and more. As a result, we have also developed an extensive list of these vendors as well. If you are in need of another service provider not listed here, please let us know and we will be happy to seek a qualified, licensed professional who can help you!

While we would hope that all of the professionals listed on our website would offer the best service and pricing for our customers, we are unable to guarantee their service. We are, however, willing to promise to you that we will remove vendors from our Referral Resource if we receive negative feedback from our valued friends and customers.

Home/Building Inspection: ($300-$500 for most homes)

While you may elect to hire a licensed roofer, plumber, electrician and HVAC contractor to individually inspect these components of the home, there are many certified Home & Building Inspectors who provide a comprehensive inspection of the property that TYPICALLY include an evaluation of the following:

Roof, Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC (Air & Heat), Water Intrusion, Pool Equipment, Operational Status of the Appliances, Structural issues, Cosmetic issues

Jim Feece / Metropolitan Home Inspectors / (407) 897-1203

Termite/Wood Destroying Organisms Inspection: ($85-$150 for most homes)

Often, a termite inspection is required by your lender. This inspection can be somewhat frustrating, because although the house may not have actual termites (those pesky little insects!!), the house may have rotten wood, fungus or other exciting things that may have to be repaired or replaced prior to you purchasing the house. I have included the names of 3 termite inspectors for you, but just as you could with the home inspector, you can choose whomever you would like…just make sure to let me know who you have hired and when the inspection is scheduled so that I can make sure they have access to the house. Termite inspections can be paid at the time of the inspection, or if allowed by the inspector and/or mortgage lender, paid for at closing. Timing of the termite inspection is as important as the home inspection, as there are often deadlines to be met.
