Will I get a report after the pre-offer inspection?

One of the biggest questions buyers have about pre-offer inspections is whether a formal report is included. While these inspections are faster and more focused than full home inspections, MKC Associates ensures you walk away with a written summary of the findings.

What’s Included in a Pre-Offer Inspection Report

Although shorter than a traditional inspection report, you’ll still receive valuable documentation, such as:

• Summary of Key Findings: A concise overview of what was observed.
• High-Impact Issues: Notations on urgent concerns like safety hazards or structural issues.
• Annotated Photos: Visual references to help you understand what was found and where.

Why the Report Still Matters

Even when time is short, documentation adds value:

• Supports Decision-Making: Helps you evaluate risk and plan next steps.
• Backs Up Your Offer Strategy: May influence how you bid or whether you walk away.
• Provides a Record: Useful for future reference—even if you don’t proceed with the purchase.
