Finding an Inspection Company In the Indianapolis, Indiana Area You Can Trust
Buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals in Indianapolis and all of Indiana have one thing in common when selecting a home inspector - they want a realistic assessment of the property that won't scare anyone.
A good Indianapolis home inspector will have the experience and the communication skills necessary to present information in a manner that does not play on the emotional aspects of the transaction. All homes are in need of some repair -- your inspector should help everyone keep this in perspective and stay focused on making sound financial decisions. Selecting a home inspector whether your moving to Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Crawfordsville, or Avon that has strong qualifications, training, and support is crucial. While professional organizations such as InterNACHI and training companies have helped, there can be a significant gap in services and value provided within the industry.
Veteran Indianapolis Home Inspector Rob Rehm and LandAmerica Property Inspection Services in Indianapolis understands the sensitive nature of buying and selling real estate and we're working hard to provide value to our clients. That's why with every home inspection we provide:
Exclusive E&O insurance
A 90-day Guarantee on most items inspected
12 months of Extended AdviceSM
Our Superior Service Guarantee
Our 90-day guarantee protects buyers on major systems that we inspect -- just in case something goes wrong after the inspection. In addition, we provide 12 months of our Extended Advice service that provides a home maintenance plan plus tools to help manage the home during the first critical year of ownership. In fact, clients can easily access our inspectors free of charge - even on new issues that were not present at the time of the inspection. Water intrusion problems, windows that will not shut,or advice on a room addition -- our expertise and advice continues for a full year. No one provides more value or protection for their clients. As one of the largest employee-based inspection companies , we employ more than 240 inspectors, engineers, and service professionals who must meet rigorous training and on-going quality review standards.

If you're not satisfied with our service or value, we'll make sure you get your fee returned -- it's that simple.
We believe home inspections shouldn't end at the driveway.
While our reports may be printed on-site or delivered electronically in a few hours, we know adding real value means being there for the long haul and standing behind our work. That's why we're celebrating our 17th year of growth -- and why we remain committed to earning your business every day.

Well, despite some good news from the other areas of Hamilton County, Westfield does not really have much to cheer about this month. The only stat that improved was average days on the market, taking 13% less time to sell a home in Westfield this year compared to last. Other than that, average selling price and the number of homes sold are both down compared to last year. For the year to date number, the Westfield market has seen a 12% decrease in the number of homes sold and a 1% decrease in the average sales price. All things considered, I guess the YTD numbers are not that bad with properties still holding their value.
Even though this was an off month for Westfield, it does remain a relatively stable market and still represents a great value for homes in Hamilton County. If you are considering a home in Westfield, please visit our Indianapolis homes for sale website to search all available homes with our state of the art search feature. If you are thinking about purchasing a home in Westfield, you should also take a look at Carmel homes as another option.

Westfield City Council voted Monday night to seek bids for citywide trash and recycling services.
The council voted unanimously to seek the bids. A separate ordinance would be considered by the council before a citywide service is approved or rates are set. In addition to seeking bids, the ordinance gives the council oversight authority. It also would charge residents a $17 fee to make changes to their account, in addition to an administrative fee that cannot exceed $1.
