The Moat No One Else Has
An inspector’s eye. An appraiser’s read on value.
Most agents can list a home. Very few can walk it and tell you what the inspection will find, what it’ll cost, and what it means for price. I can — because I’ve done both jobs.
- For sellers: I spot the issues before they blow up your deal, and prep you for the buyer’s inspection with a plan.
- For buyers: you get a read on condition and true affordability before you ever write the offer.
- On value: a former appraiser’s perspective means your price is grounded in data, not hope.
