Inspections + Appraisal

I will help you coordinate a professional home inspection of the property. We likely will also set up inspections for the sewer, radon and an oil tank locate. Once we have reports back and any necessary bids from contractors, we will negotiate repairs or credits with the seller.

If you are using a lender to purchase the property, they will order and schedule a neutral appraiser to do an appraisal on the property. Once we have this report back and all is clear, your loan will go into underwriting and we are almost there!

“We recently used Shane to help us through the process of buying our first property. Shane always made sure to get any and all of our questions answered in a very quick timely manner. His home buying/selling knowledge is abundant and he was extremely patient with us throughout the whole process. He also made sure to give us tons of recommendations and resources for our post purchase needs! If you are looking to either sell or purchase a property I would recommend Shane x1000. Thanks again!”

“This is the second time we have used Shane as our Realtor, and both times it was a great experience. Shane is always extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. This time he showed us numerous properties, wrote multiple offers during our search, and was always on top of everything. Shane also helped us get through the negotiating of terms with his expertise in the business, and he never put pressure on us even in tough circumstances. Always making sure we were comfortable with all aspects of the process. Even after closing, Shane continues to be in contact, providing references for Contractors for work being done. We will definitely be using Shane in future transactions, as well as recommend him to everyone we can.”
