Many buyers book after going unconditional, accept a verbal look over, or pick the cheapest quote with a vague scope, which leads to missed defects, insurance or lender issues, and big repair bills, while our process is independent, insured, fixed price, includes a phone consult, and lets you attend the inspection.
