Inspections enable you to take control of your real estate transaction by helping you:

  • Identify potential problems
  • Survey the home's condition
  • Consider possible repairs and upgrades
  • Take measure of your investment decision
  • Experience confidence and peace of mind during negotiations
  1. Hire the right inspector
    Explain licensing, experience, local knowledge, insurance, and sample reports as selection criteria, then invite them to book with you.
  2. Be present at the inspection
    Encourage buyers to attend, take notes, and ask questions so the report isn’t just a PDF surprise they read later.
  3. Focus on big‑ticket items, not cosmetics
    Structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating/cooling, and water issues should drive decisions and negotiations, not paint color or worn carpet.
  4. Understand ‘typical’ vs ‘defect’
    Clarify that some aging, hairline cracks, and minor wear are normal; what matters is safety, active leaks, and systems at end of life.
  5. Use the report to negotiate smartly
    Suggest asking for credits or targeted repairs on safety and major‑cost items rather than “everything on the list,” which can kill deals.
  6. Plan repairs and maintenance
    Turn the summary and maintenance notes into a one‑year and three‑year repair plan for the home.
  7. Know your rights under the new MA law (in Massachusetts)
    Add a short section explaining that buyers can no longer be forced to waive inspections as a condition of having their offer accepted, and should receive the new mandatory inspection disclosure.

At Hawkeye Inspectors, we provide comprehensive home inspections covering various critical aspects of a property. Below are detailed descriptions for each category of our Home Inspection Overview:

By thoroughly examining these areas, Hawkeye Inspectors ensures that you have a comprehensive understanding of your home's condition, empowering you to make informed decisions.

A home cannot fail an inspection

A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision.

At Hawkeye Inspections we are “non-alarmists”. Just like the umpire, referee or official of your favorite sport, we "only call it, how we see it".

A Home Inspection can take up to 4 hours (1.5 - 3 average)

Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection will take no more than four hours, usually between an hour and a half and three hours. Ideally, you will accompany your inspector during the inspection so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

Detailed Reporting

Every inspection is a complete and thorough analysis of all the major systems and components in the home. The report includes a clear description of what we've found with any problem areas noted, so you can easily identify them. The report prioritizes findings, making it clear to you which items are safety issues, which may need servicing and which may just be cosmetic issues.

For Homeowners

Homeowners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs.

For Homebuyers

The last thing you want is to move into a home unaware of potential problems. Problems could be costly to repair or even hazardous to your health. That’s why it’s critical to choose a “detective” service like ours to inspect the property.

We cover the Greater Boston area, including most of Eastern and Central Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Readmore »

Our inspector was smart, funny, meticulous, and clear - I learned an amazing amount about the house under inspection, and about houses generally. And the price was more than reasonable!
