Property Analysis
As experts in residential code compliance, permitting, design and construction, we can easily find hidden value or liabilities in residential properties and streamline redevelopment or violation resolution for efficiency. Our combination of expertise is rare in the housing industry overall, and even more so at the focused level.
Our process is custom tailored to the specific needs of each property but always begins with preliminary research and analysis of property history, existing construction and potential future development with a brief summary report of the results.
If needed, we then prepare a detailed report of all pertinent information according to the specifics of the property and desires of the client for inclusion with the transaction disclosure package.
An overall analysis of other inspection reports such as structural pest damage, septic reports, etc. can be included to provide a complete picture of the property status to all interested parties.
In addition to clarifying the status of existing construction, this unique property report has also been used to help plan for future development. It has proven instrumental to both buyers and sellers during real estate transactions and property improvements.
