Buying or Selling a Home...with possibleFoundation Damage!
Understand you foundationCosmetic damage from upheaval. Does not need piers or major repairs. Ask me about it.
Every year in North Texas, hundreds of home sales fail to close and millions of dollars are lost due to misinformation regarding foundation damage.
What happens too often:
I
I often get calls after home inspections, when the sale is on the brink of falling through. Buyers usually reach out to a pier-selling company for a free estimate, and more often than not, they receive an expensive bid for unnecessary repairs. Whether the repairs are truly needed or not, the sale typically falls through, or the buyer demands a large discount.
Once the idea of foundation damage is introduced, it’s hard to convince the buyer that the issue is often exaggerated or, in most cases, just a drainage problem that can be fixed cheaply. By then, all I can do is advise the seller on how to avoid this issue with future buyers.
It would have been much better if they’d contacted me before putting up the "For Sale" sign. In the end, no one benefits— the seller loses the sale, and the buyer loses their dream home.
What Should Have Happened:
Sellers and realtors
Sellers and realtors should contact me before listing their property, allowing us to address any cosmetic or structural issues that might be present. My report serves as a proactive measure to prevent unnecessary repair concerns. It will also be available to assist the inspector in understanding any potential issues that might worry them. This approach ensures that early buyers don't walk away due to confusion caused by certain aspects of the property. As a result, your chances of receiving offers from early viewers significantly improve. They won't be deterred by unsightly cracks or unfavorable inspection reports, which often leads to quick offers and swift closings.

I charge a fee, and it is a reasonable and fair fee. Charging a fee enables me to make a living without having to sell you something you don't want, and don't need, and...
When I help you, you will be happy to pay!
My reports, with copies placed for buyers and inspectors to find, will explain any foundation abnormalities before the potential buyers is: Scared off. Or their inspector finds something he does not, understand.

I protect buyers and sellers. Unlike foundation repair salesmen, what I recommend has no correlation with what I am paid.
If you call 3 pier contractors for free estimates, you will likely get 3 bids for piers, that are completely different. Call me for a consult and we will figure out if there is a problem, and if so, what it takes to get it done right, at the right price!
