A written price for every repair on your buyer's inspection. Inside attorney review.

Your buyer's inspector found the problems. I price the fixes. The buyer sends me the reports, and within three business days of payment they have an itemized estimate on RSC Contracting LLC letterhead. They can attach it to the repair request as it is.

The one-page overview is written to forward to a buyer. So is this page.

What the buyer gets

An itemized estimate from a registered contractor.

What it isn't

Not an inspection, and not a bid.

How a buyer books

Sending me a buyer takes one email.

You forward it

Send the buyer the overview PDF or a link to the pre-purchase estimate page. They book it themselves.

Buyer books

They accept a one-page agreement and pay the fee through the invoice by card or bank. Then they send me the reports and the attorney-review deadline.

Estimate goes to the buyer

The buyer gets the written estimate within three business days of payment and forwards it to you.

Fees

Flat fees, paid by the buyer.

$497 for the inspection report, including any termite or electrical report that came with it. $797 with a structural engineer's report. An on-site visit is a $300 add-on, and most estimates don't need one.

Pricing is based on a typical single-family home up to 3,000 square feet. Larger homes, multifamily properties, estates, and properties requiring extensive analysis may require an additional fee.

Straight answers

Questions attorneys and agents ask.

Who is the client, the buyer or me?

The buyer. They accept the agreement, pay the fee, and get the estimate. Then they forward it to you or attach it to the repair request.

Is this a home inspection?

No. New Jersey licenses home inspectors, and I'm not one. The buyer keeps their inspector. I work from the inspection report and price the fixes.

Do you do the repairs?

No. I'm not bidding the job, so the numbers aren't a sales pitch. If the buyer wants to hire me after closing, that's a separate proposal.

Attorney review ends this week. Can you make it?

Have the buyer call 732-391-4828 instead of using the form. I'll tell them honestly whether I can make the deadline before they pay anything.

What if the house is outside Monmouth County?

Call me. Nearby parts of Ocean and Middlesex are sometimes possible. Travel is extra and I'll give the number up front.

Contact

Call me with a deadline, or have the buyer book.

I reply within one business day, sooner when attorney review is close.
