JMC Associates

JMC Associates is built on a tradition of trust, pride and professionalism. You can trust us to deliver an honest and thorough inspection of your home. ~ We offer professional home inspections as well as home remodeling services! Inspections - For the Buyer: Buyers are encouraged to accompany the inspector throughout the inspection process and questions are answered in layman terms. Buyers receive a comprehensive analysis of the building structure and major mechanical systems. Our inspector will provide you with the information needed to help you evaluate your pending purchase in a report that has an easy to follow format and includes comments and repair recommendations based on existing visible conditions. - For the Seller: A pre-sale inspection allows the seller to attain the true value of their property prior to listing your home for sale. An inspection can help you and your Realtor more accurately determine the property's value. Working with your Realtor, decisions can be made to maximize the value of your home and provide knowledge on how to best prepare your home for future sale. Pre-sale inspection will help reduce the time spent in negotiations, and avoid unforeseen problems resulting from an inspection performed just prior to signing a P&S. ~ Learn more about our philosophy and how we work, and get to know our competent staff.
