Advisory visit before submitting
an offer

You found a property but time is tight. An advisory visit gives you a certified inspector's professional opinion before you commit — so you can make a confident, informed decision under pressure.

Who this is for

You need expert guidance
before your offer.

In a fast-moving market, you may not have time for a full inspection before making an offer. An advisory visit gives you a professional assessment of the property's condition — fast.

⚡
Buyer in a competitive market
Multiple offers, limited time. You need professional guidance fast to know whether the property has visible red flags before committing. Whether it's a condo or a house, we help you decide with confidence.
📋
Buyer considering waiving conditions
You're thinking about submitting an offer without an inspection clause. Before you take that risk, get an expert opinion on the property's visible condition so you know what you're walking into.
🏚
Buyer facing an older or complex property
The property shows visible concerns — cracks, moisture, aging systems. You want a professional eye before deciding whether to move forward with a full offer and inspection.
What this service includes

A focused professional
assessment.

Our advisory visit is a targeted on-site assessment designed to give you actionable information quickly — before you submit your offer.

✓ Focused on-site visit — A certified inspector walks the property with you, concentrating on visible concerns
✓ Visual assessment of foundation, structure, roof, envelope — The major systems that matter most for your buying decision
✓ Identification of visible red flags — Potential deal-breakers flagged immediately so you can factor them into your offer
✓ Immediate verbal debrief — Professional recommendations on the spot, so you can act without delay
✓ Same-day or next-day availability — We prioritize advisory visits because we know time is critical in competitive situations
Important limitations

What this service
is not.

Transparency matters. Here is what you should know about the scope of an advisory visit compared to a full inspection.

⚠ This is NOT a full pre-purchase inspection — The scope is focused and time-limited compared to a complete inspection
⚠ Limited scope — We focus on visible concerns and major systems. Hidden defects, detailed measurements and exhaustive testing are not included
⚠ A full pre-purchase inspection remains recommended — Whenever possible, a complete pre-purchase inspection is the best way to protect your investment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about
advisory visits.

Everything you need to know before booking an advisory visit in Montreal.

What is an advisory visit before offer?+
A focused on-site visit by a certified inspector to help you make an informed decision before submitting an offer. It covers visible structural, mechanical and envelope concerns so you can identify major red flags quickly.
How is this different from a full pre-purchase inspection?+
An advisory visit is shorter and more targeted. It focuses on identifying major red flags and deal-breakers. A full pre-purchase inspection covers 400+ checkpoints with a detailed written report.
How quickly can you schedule an advisory visit?+
We aim for same-day or next-day availability whenever possible. Call or text us directly at (514) 802-7215 for the fastest response.
What does the advisory visit cost?+
For a condo, starting at $550+tax. For a single-family home, starting at $750+tax. More complex or multi-unit properties are quoted individually. Contact us for a precise quote.
Will I receive a written report?+
The advisory visit includes an immediate verbal debrief with professional recommendations. If you need a detailed written report, we recommend our full pre-purchase inspection service.
Can I upgrade to a full inspection afterward?+
Yes. If the advisory visit confirms your interest in the property, you can book a complete pre-purchase inspection for a thorough evaluation with a detailed written report.
