Buyer & seller inspections
Pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections examine readily visible and accessible conditions within the agreed property scope.
Home inspections · Buyers and sellers
Know the home before the decision.
Landmark provides detailed pre-purchase inspections for buyers and pre-listing inspections for sellers, with clear reporting on visible, readily accessible systems and conditions.
Built for real-estate decisions
Turn a complicated house into a clear set of facts.
Whether the inspection supports a purchase or helps a seller prepare before listing, Landmark connects each observed condition to its location, the system around it, and the next conversation it may require. The result is a report meant to be read and used—not just filed away.
Structure, roof & exterior
Site drainage, foundation, structure, roofing, exterior components, and moisture pathways are considered as connected systems.
Electrical, plumbing & HVAC
Major installed systems and normal operating controls are observed within the applicable standard and inspection limitations.
A report for next steps
Clear locations, photographs, descriptions, and inspection limitations help buyers and sellers prepare informed questions and decisions.
From transaction timeline to inspection report
- Call with the property and timing.Share the city, property type, approximate size, purchase or pre-listing context, and inspection deadline.
- Confirm the inspection scope.The written agreement identifies the applicable standard, systems, access, exclusions, separate services, fee, and deliverable before fieldwork.
- Inspect, document, and explain.The report separates observed evidence from concealed conditions, speculation, and work that requires a specialist.

Original educational system maps
See how representative systems connect.
These wholly original illustrations help frame inspection questions and show how system relationships influence what the inspector observes, documents, and explains.
Roof drainage & attic moisture pathways
A conceptual view of visible roof-water shedding, gutter discharge, attic insulation, and ventilation pathways. Actual conditions are documented at the property.
Site, foundation & basement moisture pathways
One possible drainage and sump arrangement. Site grading, drainage, foundation, and moisture observations depend on visible conditions at the property.
Electrical service & branch distribution
A system-orientation map of common service, disconnect, panel, grounding, lighting, and receptacle relationships. Actual equipment and conditions are documented during inspection.
Plumbing, drainage, venting & water heating
A conceptual map connecting supply, fixtures, drainage, venting, and water heating. Actual sources, equipment, and visible conditions vary by property.
Heating, cooling & local exhaust
A conceptual airflow map connecting equipment, distribution, returns, and local exhaust. Actual equipment and operation are assessed within the agreed scope.
Building-envelope moisture control
A conceptual cutaway connecting drainage, flashing, sheathing, insulation, openings, and finishes. Actual assemblies and visible conditions vary.
