Taught by a certified home inspector, this on-demand video training walks you through the most important systems in your home using clear visuals, real-world examples, and plain-language explanations that make complex issues easy to understand.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by inspection jargon, worried about missing a major red flag, or unsure what really needs to be fixed now versus later, this video is built for you. You’ll see exactly what inspectors look for, how they think about risk, and how to use that insight to make smarter decisions before and after your inspection.

Why This Home Inspection Video Is Different

Most home inspection content is either too generic or too technical. This video strikes the balance homeowners actually need: it’s practical, visual, and focused on decisions, not just information. Instead of vague tips, you get actionable, inspector-level guidance you can apply immediately to your own home, inspection report, and repair planning.

By the end of the training, you’ll know what’s normal for a home of your age, what’s a real concern, what can wait, and what deserves attention right now. That means fewer surprises, smarter negotiations, and better long-term protection for your investment.

Perfect For

• First-time homebuyers who want to understand inspection findings and avoid costly mistakes.
• Home sellers preparing for listing photos, showings, and buyer inspections.
• Current homeowners planning repairs, upgrades, or long-term maintenance.
• Anyone who wants to think like an inspector and make confident, informed decisions about their home.

With the SmartStart Home Inspection Video Guide, you’re not just watching another generic home video — you’re getting a focused, inspector-led training session that shows you how to read, interpret, and act on inspection findings with confidence.
