Plumbing materials and condition
Quote required
Identify the supply materials and visible concerns, then ask a licensed plumber to scope any needed work.
The inspector’s eye
An inspector’s perspective. A realtor who reads houses.
I help buyers and sellers look beyond the listing photos: what needs checking, which records matter, and when to bring in an inspector or contractor.

The five-line risk read
Five questions guide the review. Their answers depend on the address, current records and what can actually be inspected.
See a full sample read →
FireCheck the mapCheck the official designation for the address, then review the site and available insurance options.
FaultCheck the locationVerify the property against current fault-zone records. A neighborhood label cannot establish its parcel-level exposure.
SlabInspect on siteReview construction records and visible conditions. Photos alone cannot establish how a foundation is performing.
InsuranceGet an address quoteAsk an insurer about this property and the coverage you need before relying on an assumed premium or availability.
FloodCheck zone and drainageReview the current map and property disclosures, then inspect grading and where water flows around the home.These are review categories, not findings about a home. A desk conversation does not replace a physical inspection.
Questions before repair costs
Start with the condition and scope of work. A contractor quote comes after the problem is verified.
Discuss my home →
Electrical panel review
Review required
Record the equipment and its condition. Confirm repairs with an electrician and coverage questions with the insurer.
Drainage and grading
Site check required
Check the slope, drainage paths and signs of water entry before deciding what work the property needs.
Before a budget
Inspect.
Then quote.
There is no verified repair total for your home yet. The property, scope and contractor determine the quote.
Document the finding and obtain a written scope before discussing a repair credit. The amount belongs to the specific property and work.
