Real Estate Professionals
We have a lot in common.

As a professional realtor, you succeed by providing excellent service to your clients and by effectively managing your business. At Homeward Bound Home Inspections, we have become the most trusted inspection company in south-eastern Michigan in the same way.

We provide a valuable service at a fair price. Our guarantee of satisfaction reflects our confidence that we can meet the needs of you and your clients.

Twenty-five years in business and our position as the largest independent home inspection company in Michigan are evidence of our success.

We Are Qualified
Our inspectors are chosen for their technical expertise, ability to communicate and their passion for houses and helping people. We hire based on a solid construction back ground and a high level of communication skills. They have been trained on all aspects of home construction, remodeling and maintenance. Their training also focuses hard on where a home inspection belongs in the real estate transaction, how to keep things in perspective and know that as home inspectors they are just one part of your ever complicating job.

We Are Thorough
Our computer base reporting system delivers a digital report, including photos, transferred to a CD. In most cases copies are given to both you the realtor and your client. Out of town clients are e-mailed the report with the inspector’s cell phone number for best communication of our findings.

We Are Consistent
Our inspections are performed in the same way to the same standard on every property.

We Are Available
Our staff is on duty from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm week days, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturdays and 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Sundays. They are friendly, helpful and have the time and knowledge to answer your questions. With our team of inspectors we can book inspections on a short notice and we inspect 7 days a week. For larger homes we send multiple inspectors to make more efficient use of your and your client’s time.

We Are Industry Leaders
Over the past 25 years we have set the standard for home inspections in our area. We continually embrace the market changes we are presented with. Whether it be a flood of bank owned homes and the obstacles they present or the growing demand for a pre-listing inspection we will lead the way.

We Have Your Back
Our “Rogue” inspector policy is quickly becoming the biggest feather in our hat. Simply put, if your client hires their own inspector or an inspection is performed on one of your listings and you feel a second unbiased expert opinion is needed give us a call. We will show up, give our professional opinion, and in return we hope for your future referrals. In many cases we will “Save the Day”.

We Are Charitable
Over the past 12 years we have implemented a clothing drive during every inspection. If you or your client donates a gently used article of clothing at the inspection your client will receive a $10.00 discount off the inspection. Many of the clothes find their way to our resale shop at our headquarters and in turn result in monetary donations to charities that help people in need. We collect the clothing at the end of the inspection which always ends the inspection with a positive feeling.

We Are Supportive
By referring us to your clients, both you and your clients will become members of our Home Owners Club. As members we will help trouble shoot any future issues you may have with your home. Whether it be choosing the right contractor, evaluating bids/estimates for future projects, make product recommendations or following up with onsite consultations, we are there for you. As members you and your clients will be e-mailed quarterly “Things to do for your home” checklist. All of your past clients checklists can be customized with your picture and contact information.

We are very respectful of realtors and the hard work you do. We have a can do attitude when it comes to putting your clients into the right home. Whatever it takes to get the job done, we want to help.

Thank you for your efforts and your time,
The Professionals at Homeward Bound

Testimonials

I have been using Homeward Bound Inspection Services both as a realtor and a consumer since 1986. This family owned business has spanned two generations without interruption of knowledge, honesty and integrity. Their inspection format not only gives complete and accurate analysis of the home but, also offers the buyer a tutorial in house maintenance. Their approach is practical and informative and meets the complete needs of a first time buyer or a seasoned transferee. They continually earn my trust and wholehearted endorsement. My clients deserve the best and they get it with Homeward Bound.

Madelon Ward
Hall & Hunter Realtors

I have not only used Homeward Bound when I have purchased homes but I always recommend them to my clients. I trust them to look out for my clients best interest. They are professional, punctual and very accommodating. They educate the buyer and still manage to keep areas of concern in perspective. The buyer always leaves the home inspection with the report in hand and feeling that they are armed with accurate information to help them with the most important purchase of their lives. I will continue to recommend Homeward Bound to my clients and they will be my first call when I purchase another home.

I have had the benefit and pleasure of dealing with Homeward Bound for 17 years! As a rookie realtor I was referred to them by a co-realtor in my office and have never been sorry. As a professional realtor we know that service is the best attribute we can offer our clients. Homeward Bound inspectors and their office staff continually give great service, in depth knowledge during and after their home inspection. Of course, buyers have the prerogative to choose from many home inspection companies. I am most happy when they choose the honest and trusted work of Homeward Bound!
