A significant regret over purchases
In states such as Texas, buyers traditionally have about five to ten days for the due diligence period. But in a lot of cities like Austin, Houston, and Dallas, buyers have been waiving that period because of the high volume of offers on a house, making contracts very difficult to acquire.
The first industry standard for repair estimates
The real estate industry has often suffered from a lack of clear direction in terms of processes for estimating repair costs. This struggle during tight contingency windows led to the foundation of Repair Pricer. Repair Pricer is a service and tool and provides repair estimates with 98% accuracy for realtors, inspectors and their clients during the homebuying process.
