Common Situations We Help With

You made an offer on an Old Town rowhouse — now what?

You fell in love with the 1890s charm — original heart-pine floors, exposed brick, tall windows. But pre-Civil War construction carries surprises: balloon framing, knob-and-tube wiring tucked in the walls, cast iron drain lines that have lasted a century and may not last another decade. Before you hand over earnest money, you need someone who knows what to look for in Alexandria's historic housing stock. Marc has inspected dozens of properties just like yours and delivers a written report the same evening.

Your agent says the inspection is just a formality — is it?

In a competitive Alexandria market, buyers sometimes waive inspections to win bids. That's a gamble. An Alexandria home inspector who moves fast — same-day scheduling, 24-hour report — lets you close quickly without skipping due diligence. Marc works around your timeline so you don't have to choose between speed and certainty.

You're buying a Potomac Yard townhome — it's newer, so probably fine, right?

Newer construction comes with its own set of issues: builder shortcuts, improperly installed HVAC, drainage grading problems, and warranty items that expire before owners notice them. Marc's new-construction inspection identifies what the builder owes you before your 1-year warranty window closes.

The seller's disclosure says 'no known issues' — should you trust it?

Sellers disclose what they know. They don't always know what they haven't looked at. A professional home inspection is not about distrust — it's about having an independent set of experienced eyes walk every accessible area of the property. Marc documents what he finds, explains what matters, and helps you understand the difference between a deal-breaker and a bargaining chip.
