During the site inspection, I will be verifying all structures by photographing them, drawing a Site Plan with general locations of buildings and checking for any changes removal of buildings and general condition. It is always helpful to see the interior of the structure and hope that those residents who are home will allow me to do so.
Additional visits will be to appraise new construction or completion of previous construction I would like to remind people that if you remove a building, please let me know so I can remove it from your property information.
