You can act with conviction and present a competitive offer when you:

- Arm yourself with knowledge of actual sale prices – don’t be fooled by the asking price, we’ll show you how market forces always prevail
- Understand a home’s disclosed deficiencies – we’ll translate the inspection reports into future costs and impacts for you
