Experienced Customer Service
Bridgett’s ongoing support means that you are much more likely to get a human voice answering your call and much less likely to have interruptions during your inspection. Bridgett has multiple years experience working as an administrator, including for a local Real Estate Brokerage, and she is able to use that expertise to guide you through the sometimes chaotic process of booking an inspection within a limited timeline.
