Yes. At Nordic Inspections, you can pay for your home inspection at closing when you choose our Viking package with 2 or more added services, or our all-inclusive Norse package. That means no upfront payment on inspection day. The fee is simply due at closing, as long as your closing date is within 60 days of your inspection.
Buying a home comes with a lot of upfront costs, from earnest money to appraisals. Pay at Close lets you get a thorough inspection, with the extra testing you need, without adding another bill before you have the keys.
How Pay at Close Works
- Book a Viking or Norse package. Pay at Close is available with the Viking package adding 2 or more services, and it is always included with the Norse package.
- No upfront payment. We complete your inspection, and you receive your same-day report, without paying upfront. Payment is arranged through our inspection platform.
- Pay at closing. The inspection fee is due at closing. Your closing date must be within 60 days of your inspection date to use this option.
- We coordinate with your team. Pay at Close is coordinated with your real estate agent and lender, and depends on the details of your transaction.
The inspection fee is not included in your mortgage, however, it may be paid using available closing funds. These funds can come from buyer credits or seller contributions, if those apply to your purchase. Your agent and lender can help you understand what is available in your transaction.
Which Packages Include Pay at Close?
We offer three inspection packages. Every package includes a full home inspection, a mold visual inspection, moisture scanning, an on-site consultation with your inspector and a same-day report.
- Fjord: Our basic package, with the option to add one additional service. Pay at Close is not available with Fjord.
- Viking (our most popular): Choose 2 or more add-on services to customize your package. Adding 2+ services unlocks Pay at Close and Post Purchase Support.
- Norse (best value, maximum protection): All 5 add-on services are included, along with Pay at Close and Post Purchase Support.
Add-On Services to Choose From
Viking customers pick 2 or more of these services. Norse customers get all 5:
- Radon Test: Radon is common in North Dakota and Minnesota homes, and testing is the only way to know your level.
- Sewer Line Inspection: A camera inspection of the line from the house to the city connection, which can reveal cracks, root intrusion and other costly problems.
- Thermal Imaging: Infrared imaging that can help reveal hidden moisture, missing insulation and air leaks.
- Foundation Elevation Survey: Measurements that help identify foundation settlement or movement, a common concern with Red River Valley clay soils.
- Mold Air Testing: Air samples analyzed by an accredited lab. Lab results take a minimum of one business day and are delivered separately from your same-day inspection report.
Bonus: Post Purchase Support
Viking packages with 2+ services and all Norse packages also include Post Purchase Support. We stay available after your inspection and purchase to answer questions about your report, provide guidance and help you better understand your home.
- For properties within our local service area, it may include a return visit at no additional cost if an area could not be inspected the first time because it was inaccessible. (This does not apply to seasonal limitations, such as snow-covered roofs or systems that could not be operated because of the weather.)
- If we determine a radon test is invalid because of severe weather, interrupted closed-building conditions or someone opening windows or exterior doors during the test, we will retest at no additional cost.
Why It Pays to Choose More Protection
A standard home inspection is a great start, but some of the most expensive problems in Fargo-Moorhead homes, like high radon, a damaged sewer line or foundation movement, need specialized testing to find. With Pay at Close, you do not have to choose between protecting your investment and managing your upfront costs.
