The 90-Day Home Inspection Guarantee: What Mankato Buyers Get
By Closer Look Home Inspectors | (507) 721-3820
One of the most valuable protections available to Mankato homebuyers is the InterNACHI 90-Day Buy-Back Guarantee, included with every qualifying inspection by Closer Look Home Inspectors. Understanding how this guarantee works helps you appreciate the confidence behind our inspections.
How the Guarantee Works
The 90-Day Buy-Back Guarantee is simple: if our InterNACHI-certified inspector misses anything during the inspection, InterNACHI will buy the home back from you for the full purchase price within 90 days of closing. This guarantee is backed by InterNACHI, the world's largest association of home inspectors.
What's Covered
- Major defects that were present and visible at the time of inspection but not reported
- Safety hazards that should have been identified during a standard inspection
- Structural issues that were accessible and observable during the inspection
What's Not Covered
- Conditions that developed after the inspection date
- Concealed conditions that were not accessible during inspection
- Cosmetic issues or personal preferences
- Items specifically excluded by InterNACHI's Standards of Practice
Why This Matters in the Mankato Market
In a competitive housing market, buyers sometimes feel pressure to skip or minimize inspections. The 90-Day Buy-Back Guarantee reinforces that a thorough inspection protects you. It also demonstrates the confidence we have in our work. We stand behind every inspection because we know our InterNACHI-certified process is thorough and reliable.
Additional Protection
Beyond the buy-back guarantee, Closer Look Home Inspectors carries errors and omissions insurance and general liability insurance, providing additional layers of protection for our clients.
