Understand the home before you take responsibility for it.

Residential Due Diligence

Your home deserves more than one professional perspective.

Magnolia Due Diligence begins with a coordinated team of at least three
professionals.

From there, Magnolia helps shape the size and professional depth of the team
around your concerns, the home, and the transaction.

Your Due Diligence Team is built around the questions that matter to your decision.

Your Magnolia Consultant

One experienced professional keeps the whole home in view.

Your Magnolia Consultant leads the whole-home investigation and connects what is
learned across the property and the broader Due Diligence Team.

See the home as a whole.

Conditions are considered in context—not simply as isolated findings.

Know what deserves your attention.

Understand what appears meaningful, what may be manageable, and where
uncertainty remains.

Bring the findings together.

You are not left reconciling separate technical opinions on your own.

You leave with a clearer understanding of the home and where your attention belongs.

The Due Diligence Team

When the home raises a specialized question, the right expertise can already be
within reach.

Your Client Care Advisor customizes the professional depth within the systems and
conditions that include:

Environmental Technician

Specialized investigations such as radon monitoring, mold sampling, and sewer
scopes.

Structural Contractor

Focused evaluation of structural conditions, with repair scope and real repair
pricing where applicable.

HVAC Contractor

Focused evaluation of heating, cooling, and ventilation conditions, with repair
scope and pricing where applicable.

Roofing Contractor

Focused evaluation of roofing systems and related conditions, including repair
scope and pricing where applicable.

Chimney Contractor

Focused evaluation of chimney and fireplace-related conditions, with repair
scope and pricing where applicable.

Pool Professional

Focused evaluation of pool systems and conditions within their discipline.

WDO / Pest Control Professional

Focused evaluation of wood-destroying organism and pest-related conditions.

Additional qualified expertise can be involved when the home or investigation calls
for it.

The value is not simply having more people at the property.

It is having the appropriate professional depth around the questions that could
materially change how you understand the home.

Confidence Before Commitment

Some things are worth understanding before they become your responsibility.

Your Magnolia Consultant investigates the home as a whole. Some conditions, however,
require specialized equipment or deeper trade expertise to understand more fully.

A Case in Point

Consider the sewer line.

It runs underground, where it cannot be seen during a standard inspection process.
Without a sewer scope, roots, separated joints, deterioration, or damaged sections
could remain unknown until after closing.

And then the responsibility is yours.

A sewer repair can cost a minimum of $2,500. A replacement can exceed
$10,000—and in some situations, $15,000 or more.

That is the purpose of deeper Due Diligence.

Not to find more things wrong with the home.

To help you understand what you may be taking responsibility for before you decide
to make it yours.

Prepared for What Comes Next

Knowing what a repair may involve changes the conversation.

When deeper expertise is appropriate, the right specialist can help move an
important condition from:

From

“There may be a problem.”

To

  • “Here is what we know.”
  • “Here is what the repair may involve.”
  • “Here is what it may cost.”

That gives you—and your Realtor—meaningful technical information for the
decisions and conversations ahead.

You enter those conversations understanding the condition, what the repair may
involve, and what it may cost—not simply that an issue appeared on an
inspection report.

Lifetime Resource

You don’t have to navigate ownership alone.

If new technical information, a contractor opinion, a repair proposal, or an
ownership question comes up, your Magnolia Consultant already understands the
property and the original investigation.

You can come back to a professional who already knows the home.

You don’t have to figure out what this home needs on your own.

Your Client Care Advisor starts with you.

  • Your concerns.
  • The home you are considering.
  • The transaction in front of you.

Then Magnolia helps determine the appropriate depth of Due Diligence and
professional involvement.

You bring us the home. We help determine what it needs.
