This property inspection report may include a pre-inspection agreement (contract), addenda, and
other information related to property conditions. If any item or comment is unclear, you should ask the inspector to clarify
the findings. It is important that you carefully read ALL of this information.
This inspection is subject to the rules (“Rules”) of the Texas Real Estate Commission (“TREC”),
which can be found at www.trec.state.tx.us.
The TREC Standards of Practice (Sections 535.227-535.231 of the Rules) are the minimum standards for inspections
by TREC-licensed inspectors.
An inspection addresses only those components and conditions that are present, visible, and accessible at the time of
the inspection. While there may be other parts, components or systems present, only those items specifically noted as being
inspected were inspected.
The inspector is not required to move furnishings or stored items.
The inspection report may address issues that are code-based or may refer to a particular code; however, this is NOT
a codecompliance inspection and does NOT verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation instructions.
The inspection does NOT imply insurability or warrantability of the structure or its components. Although somes afety
issues may be addressed in this report, this inspection is NOT a safety/code inspection, and the inspector is NOT required
to identify all potential hazards.
In this report, the inspector will note which systems and components were Inspected (I), Not Inspected (NI), Not Present
(NP), and/or Deficient (D). General deficiencies include inoperability, material distress, interior water penetration, damage,
deterioration, missing parts, and unsuitable installation.
Comments may be provided by the inspector whether or not an item is deemed deficient. Some items reported as Deficient
may be considered life-safety upgrades to the property. For more information, refer to Texas Real Estate Consumer Notice Concerning
Recognized Hazards, form OP-I.
This property inspection is not an exhaustive inspection of the structure, systems, or components. The inspection
may not reveal all deficiencies.

A real estate inspection helps to reduce some of the risk involved in purchasing a home, but it cannot eliminate
these risks, nor can the inspection anticipate future events or changes in performance due to changes in use or occupancy.
It is recommended that you obtain as much information as is available about this property, including any seller’s
disclosures, previous inspection reports, engineering reports, building/remodeling permits, and reports performed for
or by relocation companies, municipal inspection departments, lenders, insurers, and appraisers. You should also attempt
to determine whether repairs, renovation, remodeling, additions, or other such activities have taken place at this property.
It is not the inspector’s responsibility to confirm that information obtained from these sources is complete or
accurate or that this inspection is consistent with the opinions expressed in previous or future reports.
Items identified in the report do not obligate any party to make repairs or take other action, nor is
the purchaser required to request that the seller take any action. When a deficiency is reported, it is the client’s
responsibility to obtain further evaluations and/or cost estimates from qualified service professionals.
Any such follow-up should take place prior to the expiration of any time limitations such as option periods. Evaluations
by qualified tradesmen may lead to the discovery of additional deficiencies which may involve
additional repair costs. Failure to address deficiencies or comments noted in this report may
lead to further damage of the structure or systems and add to the original repair costs.
The inspector is not required to provide follow-up services to verify that proper repairs have
been made.
Property conditions change with time and use. This report is provided for the specific benefit
of the client named above (client) and is based on observations at the time of the inspection. If
you did not hire the inspector yourself, reliance on this report may provide incomplete or outdated information. It is recommended
that you hire a licensed inspector to perform an inspection to meet your specific needs and to provide you with current
information concerning this property.
