Your first home
deserves a first-class inspection.
Buying your first home is exciting — and overwhelming. The First-Time Home Buyer Bundle pairs a full inspection with thermal imaging, a guided walkthrough, and the tools you need to actually understand what you're buying. So you walk away confident, not confused.
The bundle built for first-time buyers in the DMV.
- Full home inspection — every system, every room
- Thermal imaging to catch what eyes can't
- Guided walkthrough — ask anything, learn everything
- 2D floor scan, tour, and digital home report
- 120-day home warranty included
We've inspected thousands of homes. You're inspecting one — so we built this bundle for you.
First-time buyers don't just need a report. They need someone in their corner — explaining systems, pointing out warning signs, and translating "industry speak" into plain English. That's what this bundle is, end to end.
We look beyond the surface
Infrared thermal imaging scans for hidden moisture, missing insulation, electrical hot spots, and air leaks the naked eye will never catch.
We teach you the house
A guided walkthrough where we show you how to operate the major systems, what regular maintenance looks like, and where to watch over the years.
We send you home equipped
A floor scan, repair-cost report, 120-day warranty, energy report, and digital maintenance binder — so you're never starting from scratch.
Eleven services. One unforgettable first home.
Every line item below is included in the bundle — there are no upsells hidden in the fine print, no surprise add-ons after the walkthrough. You see exactly what you're getting before you book.
Full Home Inspection
Comprehensive top-to-bottom inspection of roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and structural systems.
Thermal Imaging Review
Infrared scan that reveals hidden moisture, missing insulation, and electrical hot spots invisible to the human eye.
Guided Walkthrough
A patient, in-person education tour so you learn the home — operations, shut-offs, and seasonal maintenance.
2D Floor Scan with Tour & Report
Detailed digital floor plan and interactive home report you can revisit any time — perfect for planning furniture or renovations.
Termite / WDO Inspection

Inspected by a Certified Master Inspector — not a stopwatch.
Ditanyan Sye is one of fewer than 1,000 Certified Master Inspectors® worldwide. Twenty-plus years in education means every inspection is also a lesson — patient, thorough, and built around teaching first-time buyers what to look for now, and what to budget for next.
Two ways to pay — so cash-to-close stays where it belongs.
Closing costs add up fast. We offer two payment paths so you can book every service you need now, without straining your closing-day cash.
- No need to choose between inspection quality and closing cash
- Book every service you need — not just what you can afford today
- Both options available on every bundle we offer

Questions, answered.
First-time buyer concerns are universal. Here are the ones we hear most often — but call (240) 900-3208 anytime if yours isn't here.
Why is the First-Time Home Buyer Bundle different from a standard inspection?
A standard inspection delivers a thorough report. This bundle adds the things first-time buyers actually need: thermal imaging to catch hidden problems, a guided walkthrough so you understand the home before closing, a digital floor scan, repair-cost estimates, and a 120-day warranty. It's the difference between getting a report and getting an education.
How long does the inspection take?
Plan for 2.5 to 4 hours on site depending on the size and age of the home. The guided walkthrough is built into that — you'll be there with us for at least part of it, asking questions and learning the systems.
When will I receive the report?
Most reports are delivered the same day. In all cases, you'll have it within 24 hours. Reports are color-coded, photo-rich, and easy to skim or share with your agent or lender.
Do I have to be present for the inspection?
Not technically — but we strongly recommend it for the guided walkthrough portion, which is one of the most valuable parts of this bundle. If you can't make it, we'll schedule a separate video walkthrough.
Does the bundle work for condos or townhomes?
Absolutely. Pricing starts at $895 and is based on square footage. Most condos and small townhomes fall into the base tier.
Can I really pay for it later?
Yes — and you've got two ways to do it. Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) splits the bundle into manageable payments with the first one typically a month after the inspection. Pay at Close lets you defer the whole payment until closing day. Both options are available on every bundle. Just ask when you schedule.
What areas do you serve?
The entire DMV: Central Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia. That includes Fort Washington, Bowie, Bethesda, Rockville, Baltimore, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, and surrounding communities. Travel beyond 45 miles may incur a small mileage fee.
