Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Salem from your base in Eugene?
Salem is about 65 miles north of Eugene. A travel fee applies and will be confirmed at booking.
How quickly can I get an inspection in Salem?
Most inspections can be scheduled within 1–2 business days. Call or text 541-357-8066 if you need the earliest availability.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
You’re welcome to be there, but you don’t need to be — most customers aren’t. Everything is documented with 100+ photos and video, and the written report covers all of it. Josh is happy to walk through the findings with you by phone afterward. Don’t put off booking just to be there — take the earliest slot that works.
What if the seller won’t allow an inspection?
Walk away. Any legitimate seller should welcome a third-party inspection. Refusal is almost always a sign something is being hidden.
