What we inspect

Every inspection follows strict Washington State Standards of Practice (WAC 308-408C). Our visual evaluation covers all readily accessible elements:

Comprehensive top-to-bottom inspection identical in depth to a standard buyer inspection
Early identification of safety hazards, deferred maintenance, and aging equipment
Crawlspace moisture, drainage, and framing check before buyer inspectors discover them
Digital report you can share with prospective buyers to inspire high, confident offers

Scope Boundaries

What requires a specialist

To provide honest, professional clarity, we clearly delineate where a home inspection ends and where dedicated trade contractors or municipal utilities are required:

Mandatory building code enforcement (objective condition report only)
Formal appraisal valuations or pricing recommendations

Protecting Seller Equity in Western Washington

In Southwest Washington real estate transactions, the 10-day inspection contingency is where transactions face the greatest risk of delays or renegotiation. Hidden crawlspace water, aging roof flashing, or ungrounded wiring frequently leads to panic bids and thousands in buyer repair credits. Inspecting beforehand keeps you in complete control of pricing and repair contractors.

"JIT inspections were fantastic! Zak arrived when he said and immediately began the inspection. He was efficient, professional and friendly. Zak also provided a “wrap up” to the inspection, which was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend JIT Inspections to anyone wanting a well done experience."

"Zach, owner of Just In Time Inspections, provided excellent, quick and accurate inspection of my home. I thought I might have a water leak. He used his high tech equipment to assess the area and provided both great verbal discussion during the inspection and a written report soon afterwards. Highly recommended!"

Answers to Common Inquiries

Frequently asked questions about Pre-Listing Inspection

Direct, transparent answers to help you make informed decisions before scheduling.

Why should a seller pay for an inspection before listing?

A pre-listing inspection gives you advance knowledge of every defect a buyer’s inspector will find. You can fix easy items affordably on your own schedule, gather repair quotes for big-ticket items, or price the home accurately to eliminate last-minute negotiations or contract cancellations.

Can I show your inspection report to prospective buyers?

Yes. Providing a clean, transparent, third-party inspection report right on the kitchen counter demonstrates integrity and reassures buyers, often resulting in cleaner offers with fewer inspection contingencies.

How much does a pre-listing inspection cost?

Pricing matches our standard buyer inspection schedule, starting at $575 for homes up to 2,000 sq. ft.
