What we’re looking for together
Not a substitute for a professional home inspection—an informed first pass so you bid with eyes open.
- Water pressure, drainage, and grading—especially after weather events.
- Electrical panel age, GFCI coverage, and obvious DIY electrical.
- Attic and basement: insulation, moisture stains, and foundation tells.
- Windows, roof trim, and flashing—where small gaps become big invoices.
- HVAC service history and approximate remaining life on major systems.
- Noise, light, and commute reality at the times you’ll actually live there.
