Assists in the setting of expectations
The AA-MSA inspector assists the client in setting realistic goals. Home inspections aren’t designed to find every minor flaw or flaw in a house. Minor faults, such as visual flaws, should be seen without the assistance of a specialist. The examination is not a valuation, a municipal code inspection, or any form of assurance.

Ethics & Standards
The ASHI and NACHI Standards of Practices are widely accepted as the gold standard for professional house inspectors. The heating, central air conditioning, interior plumbing, and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; and the foundation, basement, and visible structure are all required elements of a typical home inspection, according to the Standard. Inspectors who work for ASHI and NACHI adhere to the Society’s Code of Ethics, which aims to avoid the chance of conflict of interest and mandates fairness and impartiality toward clients. An AA-MSA inspector, for example, will not comment on a home’s market worth, participate into a negotiation, or request repair work as a result of the inspection.
