A home inspected to a published standard, backed by a warranty that transfers to the buyer, and certified by somebody who earns nothing from the sale. What a buyer finds on day sixty, you find on day one — when it is still cheap and still yours to fix.
16.3%
of homes under contract were cancelled in December 2025 — the highest rate on record.
Deals collapse late, after the inspection, when the buyer has leverage and the seller has none. Everyone in this industry competes on finding the buyer. Nobody competes on the deal not dying.
Every major system has 10+ years of expected life remaining.
Safe and functional, with some systems in the 5–10 year range.
Safe and functional, with a major system near the end of its service life.
Tiers measure how much service life is left in the systems a buyer inherits — roof, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling. The weakest one sets the tier, never the average. And below the floor there is no tier at all: one active hazard means no seal until it is cleared and re-inspected. A seal everybody gets is worth nothing to the buyer it is meant to reassure.
We pull permits, county records, and property facts before anyone visits. Two minutes, nothing to install.
A licensed inspector works the published Dean Standard — eight systems, plus whatever your state's hazards demand.
Clear the standard and the certificate publishes. Fall short and you get an itemised, priced path — generated the same day, not a week later.
Licensed trades at rates agreed in advance. Nothing upfront, nothing owed if the home never sells.
Eight systems inspected against the published standard, with an estimate of how many years are left in each. Flooring, finishes, kitchens and baths are graded too — reported for the buyer, but never held against you. Wear is not a defect.
A public-records search for open permits, code liens, unpaid municipal balances and anything else that surfaces in escrow. An open permit found in February is a phone call. The same permit found five days before closing is a dead contract.
Contractors pay a flat network fee that does not move with the size of the job. Nobody here earns more when your home needs more.
Pass or fail, the fee is identical, and the inspector holds no interest in the trades who quote from their findings.

A certified pre-owned car is certified by the manufacturer, not by the dealer trying to sell it. This is that, for houses.
We do not list homes and we never will — the moment we did, the seal would be worth less. You keep the listing, the client, and the commission. We hand you a home that has already survived the inspection that kills deals, and a certificate you can link straight from the MLS remarks.
Tell us the address. We will come back with what the public record already shows about the property and what certification would involve — before you commit to anything.
