Know what you are buying before you pay for an inspection.
I look at structure, water and systems, the things that turn into five-figure problems, before you have paid for an inspection. Thirty years in high-end construction and restoration taught me what to look for and roughly what it costs to fix. This is not a home inspection. Hire a licensed home inspector before you buy.

What I look at with you
- Structure, roofing, water intrusion and drainage
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems
- What the town allows on the property: zoning, setbacks, permits
- A realistic range for what a renovation could cost (a non-binding estimate, not a contractor’s quote)
Check the zoning first
If you are thinking about an addition, an accessory structure or a change of use, ask for a zoning information report on the property before you make an offer.
