WHO WE ARE

Home-Wise Estimations

Home-wise Estimations provides homeowners with accurate repair estimates based on home inspection reports. Since the law prevents inspectors from giving repair costs, we bridge that gap, ensuring homeowners have the information they need. Our service helps sellers avoid last-minute surprises, empowers them during negotiations, and ultimately saves them money and stress
