A standard home inspection flags problems — it doesn't tell you what they cost or how urgent they are. As a licensed realtor and senior construction project manager, I built this checklist from real Greater Vancouver transactions where buyers inherited six-figure repair bills they didn't see coming.
All 4 sections, every checkpoint — delivered to your inbox in under a minute.
Licensed realtor + senior construction PM. We can estimate repair costs on the spot at any showing — not just flag issues for "further review."
Every item on this checklist came from an actual Greater Vancouver purchase where a buyer was surprised after closing. None of it is theoretical.
Getting the checklist doesn't obligate you to anything. Use it with any realtor. If you ever want a second opinion on a property, we're a message away.
