Military Moves and Home Sales

With Randolph Air Force Base next door, some homeowners sell or rent out their houses when orders come. If you are preparing to sell or lease, a recent inspection and complete repair paperwork make the process smoother. See foundation repair before selling.

Before You Hire

Bring any earlier repair paperwork, ask for readings and a written plan, and confirm permit needs with the City of Universal City.

If You Are Moving Soon

For a sale on a short timeline, ask for the inspection report in writing quickly, and ask whether the repair can be finished, documented and covered by a transferable warranty before closing. Keep the readings, pier drawing and any permit record together for the buyer. Ask about transfer terms too.
