Home Inspection

We at ERA highly recommend having your home inspected by a professional home inspector. It's for your own safety and it helps ensure you're getting your money's worth in the home you choose. Typically, a home inspector will examine all parts of your house and property. They include:

In addition, you may wish to have other inspections, such as termite or radon gas, performed on the property. Contact me at 785-539-3737 ext. 111 and I can provide you with more details and answer your questions.
