Who Are We?
Our background is in civil and industrial engineering of large industrial properties considering opportunities and constraints as well as most practical use of hundreds of properties in over 30 USA states and 30 countries. Several years ago we extended this analysis into residential and small ranch properties. The approach we take for all properties is the same. We provide the balanced support that buyers need for one of life's most significant purchases. While real estate professionals provide valuable guidance, our role is to supplement that with neutral, in-depth analysis. We believe that all buyers need fair and balanced information to make their decisions. This is who we are!
OUR MISSION IS YOUR POSITIVE OUTCOME
We provide analysis of available and hidden information to inform buyers of benefits and risks.
We base our evaluations on factors we can find or infer, including:
Neighborhood Evaluation
Our investigative research quickly covers all the hot spots, bad and good, then provides you a summary: ​
-
Neighborhood negatives: Property turn-over rates, recent crime and accidents, registered offenders, toxic hazards, adjacent traffic, poorly maintained properties, excessive street parking, extreme weather and flooding.
-
Neighborhood positives: Moderate weather, tree coverage, gardens, "walk-score", cultural opportunities, and values trending positive.
Disclosures Review
