SPONSORED CONTENT P BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT eople don’t usually put much thought into choosing a home inspector. Their experience with inspectors usually comes by way of a realtor referral. Who you choose to inspect your largest investment up-front can make the difference between a solid financial decision and one that costs you money over the long run. Jim Zamiska and his team focus on educating homeowners about their prospective home, not just issuing a vague report. “We learn about your home and tell you its story,” he explains. “We don’t just say, ‘Here’s a list of things that are wrong.’ Whether it’s your first time buying a home or 10th time, we can provide you with the vital information regarding its condition and what’s necessary to maintain it.” Staying up-to-date with the latest innovations and certifications to perform a variety of services, Pillar to Post’s Zamiska Team is a “one-stop shop” for determining whether your investment in a home is a wise one. It was one of the first companies in the area to offer infrared scanning and technology to locate moisture and electrical issues. 30 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com SPONSORED CONTENT While Zamiska sees a lot of flaws in the homes he inspects, he is pleased to let homeowners know that most of the problems have inexpensive remedies. “Basements, for example—even the best of them tend to get moisture or water in them,” he notes. “A lot of times, we can explain the fix and it’s really just a matter of moving a downspout or grading away from the house.” Inevitably there are times when the news isn’t so promising, but at least the homeowners know what they are dealing with and can adjust their offers or simply just be knowledgeable on what exactly they are taking on. “We give people a total report, complete with pictures, recommendations, and general information sheets, all based on our findings,” Zamiska explains. “We also provide our customers with suggested maintenance plans for their new homes, giving them the knowledge they need to maintain the value of their purchase.” Pillar to Post’s Zamiska Team can also help you in complicated areas such as radon, mold, water, septic, and pest inspection and testing. Regardless of the topic or issue regarding your home, you will receive a full education about its cause and suggestions on how to remedy the situation. Jim Zamiska was voted 2016 Affiliate of the Year by the local Washington and Greene County Realtors Association, and he continues to be an active member in that association and others so that he can stay in touch with the needs of the realty community and customer base. Although your realtor may recommend an inspector he/she has used in the past, the ultimate decision on who to contract with is yours. Having someone you trust can save you tens of thousands of dollars in house headaches. “We separate ourselves from other inspectors by providing more than just a report; we provide an experience, so that the homebuyer is educated and informed,” says Zamiska.
