Buyers Home Inspections in Amarillo, TX

What is a Pre-Purchase Home Inspection?

Buying a home in Amarillo, Canyon, Bushland, or anywhere across the Panhandle isn’t exactly like buying a used car — but it sure can feel that way if you don’t look under the hood first. A pre-purchase home inspection is your chance to get a full, unbiased report on the condition of the house before you sign on the dotted line. Think of it as a test drive with headlights that actually show you what’s hiding in the crawlspace.

Why Would Someone Want to Purchase a Buyers Inspection?

Because “move-in ready” sometimes means “move-in ready… after you fix the roof, the AC, and the plumbing.” A pre-purchase inspection gives buyers the leverage to negotiate repairs, request credits, or simply walk away from a money pit before it eats their budget alive. In Amarillo’s competitive market, where homes can go under contract faster than a Chic-fil-a drive-thru, having solid info in your back pocket helps you move quickly without regretting it later.

Beyond dollars and cents, it’s also about peace of mind. You’ll know whether that charming older home has character — or just a foundation issue waiting to introduce itself.

What Does the Inspection Cover?

As required by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), your inspector will review the visible and accessible components of the home, including:

  • Foundation – slab, pier & beam, crawlspaces checked for settlement or moisture.
     

  • Roof & Structure – shingles, flashing, ventilation, leaks, and storm damage.
     

  • Exterior – siding, grading, drainage, gutters, all tested against classic Amarillo wind and weather.
     

  • Interior – walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and stairways checked for safety and function.
     

  • Electrical System – panels, service entrance, outlets, switches, and grounding for safety and compliance.
     

  • Plumbing System – fixtures, drains, supply lines, and water heaters inspected for leaks and performance.
     

  • HVAC – heating, cooling, and ductwork tested for efficiency (because Amarillo summers are no joke).
     

  • Appliances – permanently installed ones like ovens, ranges, and dishwashers are tested.
     

  • Attic, Insulation & Ventilation – insulation levels, airflow, and signs of pests or moisture.
     

Basically, if it’s part of a standard TREC inspection and it matters to your comfort and safety, we check it.
