How do Foundation Piers Differ
Realtor,
This is where I have helped hundreds of folks. What I provide, is of immense help to anyone dealing with foundation issues, and can be particularly helpful to sellers and buyers of pre-owned homes. The truth is, foundation damage is seldom as bad as foundation repair company commissioned salespeople say it is, and repairs should almost never be as extensive or as expensive as quoted.
For your seller,
I can help them avoid having buyers walk away because of perceived, or actual, structural foundation problems. I can explain how they may preempt "flags" that can cause an inspector to suggest calling a foundation company, which is usually a nightmare. I provide a “blueprint” on what might concern a buyer or a home inspector and advice on what to do about it.
For your buyer,
I can go through the house looking for concealed defects or previously covered up problems. I can also point out major issues or minor, non-structural problems that can be corrected simply and economically.
I can provide a report showing cost factors for repairs that they can use to negotiate. This can often allow the buyer to get a hell of a deal on a property wrongly thought to have serious damage. I will also advise you as to the reliability of previous repairs and explain warranties and needed maintenance. That is a big deal!
My listed fee is now $350.00 within 40 miles of DFW airport. If I have to go farther than the 40 miles it is a little more.
Here is my guarantee to you. If Your buyer or seller uses my service and I legitimately don’t provide them with information that they need, there will be no charge. Call me for more information
I've used Richard, the foundation man to assess and advise on three of my homes. One to sell, two to buy. I am very satisfied and will use him again.

Fact
Unless the home has experienced the effects of a major earthquake, mudslide, sinkhole or other catastrophic trauma it is unlikely that extensive foundation movement has occurred, or that piers are needed
.
Due to widespread MISINFORMATION foundation damage and repair are among the most misunderstood elements of home ownership. Due to misdiagnosis, thousands of unneeded piers are installed in North Texas every year.
IF THE DIAGNOSIS IS WRONG FOUNDATION REPAIRS WILL FAIL! UNNEEDED DOLLARS WILL BE SPENT AND REAL ESTATE SALES WILL BE LOST.
"If you are unsure about something, you bring in an expert! That is a good business practice at any level".
This is why I tell all my client Realtors to call us prior to the sign going up and before prospective buyers walk off. You can handle the issues before the home inspectors get involved. This will greatly improve your chances of a successful first viewer closing.
This is what you need to know!
Call a contractor for free estimate you will likely get an inflated bid....
call me for a consult and you'll get the truth!
Know why you can believe me? Because I charge a fee for my services and no matter what you need, it will not affect my finances one way or the other. (unless your happy, and you tell your friends, that will help me get more business.)
