About Us

The purpose of an escrow geologic evaluation is to educate the buyer about geologic conditions that may influence the present and future performance of the property and existing structures. Included in our fee is a visual assessment of the property, which includes an inspection of the interior and exterior of the home in addition to a traverse of the grounds.  At this time, our clients and/or their representatives will receive a verbal overview. Upon completion of our site visit and research of all available geotechnical documents and permits, a detailed written report is produced for the client.
