SEE WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING!

“Dave,

Carol and I really appreciate all your help resolving our mold problem this spring .

Beginning so far away in Minnesota for the summer and hearing about a mold problem in our New Orleans condominium was unnerving to say the least. We don’t know what we would have done without your expertise and quick, professional handling of our situation. You will certainly be the first one we’ll contact with any other home problems.

Also, I believe you’ve found another fan you when you reported another unrelated issue to our Association property manager.

You’re the best. Rest assured we’ll recommend your services to everyone we meet.”

Jim Smith & Carol Muncil

A Teacher for First-Time Home Buyers

With all of that knowledge and experience about home operation and inspection, Dave wanted a way to share the information he knew with the people who needed it most. He teaches a class for first-time home buyers through Family Resources of New Orleans, during which he instructs future homeowners on topics including how to select a lender, distinguishing between loan types, addressing financial programs, the pros and cons of homeownership, and more. In addition, Dave offers a discount of $50 off a home inspection to anyone who has taken his class.
