Deadlines, details, yada-yada-yada. The reality of realty is that those deadline and those details leave enough room for you to be the hero for your clients. Clients are looking to make a huge investment or make a large sale – they have asked for your help.
Serve them, and to do it well.
Brick + Ember Outfitters has taken ear to your words – attending luncheons through Tucker’s Home Services, and standing by our title as ‘best in class’ for Chimney Services – we hear the unavoidable breath-holding of inspection results, and the eye-roll when you have to request the services of an industry professional regarding the hot-spots on the inspection reports.
Don’t guess about the costs of needed repairs. A mis-diagnosed chimney repair could be a name-smearing moment if you don’t really know – do your clients the favor, and we’ll do the facts and figuring here.
We’ll do our very best to get you a turn-around time on required estimates for repair within 24 – 48 business hours. Send over the inspection report via email with detailed descriptions of all required chimney or masonry repairs, as well as the deadlines you are working with for the transaction.
That’s peace of mind.
If the noted repairs require us to come out to the property and take a look, in person, please note the following:
- $50 to come out for the chimney and/or masonry inspection (we will provide an estimate for the required repairs)
- $150 for a Chimney Sweep & Camera Inspection (this provides everyone with a view of the condition of the inside of the chimney/fireplace)
- 5% OFF any and ALL work performed by Brick + Ember Outfitters following the purchase/sale of the home (if the work is done with us, we’ll give you back your $50 for the original inspection)
