The Digs Report gives you something most sellers never have: clarity before listing their home.
Instead of guessing what buyers, inspectors, or lenders might uncover later, the Digs Report brings everything forward—so you stay in control of the transaction.
Here’s how it helps you sell faster, with fewer surprises and more leverage:
1. You remove uncertainty for buyers
Buyers are more confident when they can see a property’s inspection, title status, valuation, and neighborhood data upfront. Less uncertainty means fewer stalled deals, fewer renegotiations, and stronger offers.
2. You prevent last-minute deal killers
Hidden issues—like deferred maintenance, title defects, or inaccurate valuations—are what cause price drops, delayed closings, and failed contracts. The Digs Report surfaces these issues early, when they are cheaper and easier to fix.
3. You justify your asking price with real data
The Digs Report includes a property valuation, inspection findings, and market insights that back up your pricing with facts, not just comps or opinions. That gives you a stronger position when buyers push back.
4. You shorten the time to closing
Because much of the buyer’s due diligence is already done, transactions move faster. Fewer surprises mean fewer delays, smoother negotiations, and quicker closings.
5. You look more professional and prepared
Homes that are marketed with a Digs Report stand out. Buyers and agents see you as a serious, transparent seller—not someone hiding problems or hoping nothing comes up – so 1980’s…
In short, the Digs Report helps you sell with confidence, credibility, and control—turning your home into a fully documented, buyer-ready asset instead of a list of questions that buyers have to try and find answers to.
A full Digs Report typically ranges from $899 to $1,500, depending on the size, location, and features of the home.
That price includes far more than a basic inspection. It combines a professional property inspection, title review, valuation analysis, and neighborhood market data into one clear, buyer-ready report.
Most sellers spend far more than this on price reductions, last-minute repairs, or failed deals caused by surprises. The Digs Report helps you avoid those costs by identifying issues early, supporting your asking price with real data, and giving buyers the confidence to move forward faster.
In many cases, the Digs Report doesn’t just pay for itself — it helps protect tens of thousands of dollars in sale price and lost time.
Most sellers lose money in ways they never see coming — price cuts, repair concessions, delayed closings, and deals that fall apart at the last minute. The Digs Report helps you avoid those losses by bringing everything to light before you list.
Here’s how it saves you real money:
1. You avoid costly renegotiations
When buyers discover issues during their inspection, they often demand large credits or price reductions. With a Digs Report, those findings are already known, priced, and addressed — so you’re negotiating from a position of strength instead of under pressure.
2. You fix problems when it’s cheaper
Repairs done before listing are almost always less expensive than emergency fixes during a live transaction, when contractors are rushed and buyers are watching the clock.
3. You reduce the risk of a failed sale
When deals fall apart, sellers often lose weeks of market time and end up relisting at a lower price. The Digs Report dramatically reduces this risk by eliminating surprises that scare buyers away.
4. You support a higher asking price
Because your home is backed by verified inspection data, valuation metrics, and title clarity, buyers are more willing to pay—and justify—a stronger price.
5. You shorten your time on market
Homes that sell faster cost less in carrying expenses, stress, and missed opportunities. The Digs Report helps buyers move forward with confidence, speeding up the entire process.
In short, the Digs Report doesn’t just cost money — it protects it by helping you avoid the hidden losses that most sellers never plan for.
Yes. The Digs Report is available for single-family homes and properties with up to four units, including investment and rental properties.
For 2–4 unit buildings and income-producing properties, the report can include additional details such as unit condition, building-wide systems, and rental-relevant insights. Because these properties are more complex than a typical single-family home, additional fees may apply based on size, layout, and scope.
Many investors use a Digs Report to:
Whether you’re selling a rental, duplex, or small multi-family, the Digs Report helps position your property as a fully documented, buyer-ready investment—not just another listing.
In most cases, that’s not a problem at all. The Digs Report is designed to work for properties in cities, suburbs, and rural areas alike.
As long as public records, property data, and on-site access are available, we can gather the information needed to build your report — including inspection findings, title data, valuation metrics, and local market insights.
Rural properties often have more unknowns than urban homes, which is exactly why a Digs Report is so valuable. By bringing clarity to things like property condition, boundaries, systems, and ownership history, you make it easier for buyers to feel confident moving forward.
In short, wherever we can dig up the data, we can build a Digs Report.
The Digs Report is especially helpful for cash buyers but it's not a replacement for a lender’s appraisal. If a buyer is using financing, the lender will still require their own independent appraisal as part of the loan process.
That said, the Digs Report plays an important supporting role. By providing inspection findings, property details, valuation data, and clear documentation upfront, it helps buyers, agents, and lenders move through the financing process with fewer questions, fewer surprises, and fewer delays.
In many cases, the Digs Report helps:
So while it doesn’t replace the lender’s appraisal, it makes the entire financing and closing process smoother, faster, and more predictable for everyone involved.
The Digs Report includes a professional, third-party property inspection, but it is ultimately up to the buyer whether they choose to rely on it or obtain their own inspection.
Most buyers are comfortable using the Digs Report because it provides:
This often saves them time and money and helps move the transaction forward faster.
However, some buyers—especially those using certain lenders or risk-averse buyers—may still choose to order their own inspection. That’s normal.
Either way, having a Digs Report puts you in a much stronger position. It eliminates surprises, reduces renegotiations, and builds buyer confidence before offers are even made.
No. The value range in the Digs Report is meant to inform your pricing — not dictate it.
The report provides a professionally generated valuation range that brackets your home between a low and high estimate based on market data, comparable sales, and property-specific features. This gives you a reliable, data-backed starting point.
Your final list price is always your decision. Most sellers work with their real estate agent and other advisors to consider:
The Digs Report helps ground that decision in real data instead of guesswork, so you can price your home with confidence and credibility.
Not really — and this is one of the most common pricing mistakes sellers make.
A town’s assessed value is designed for tax purposes, not for determining what a buyer will pay. Assessments are often updated infrequently and are based on mass models that don’t account for your home’s condition, upgrades, layout, or current market demand.
Two homes with the same assessed value can sell for dramatically different prices depending on:
The Digs Report uses real-time market data, comparable sales, and property-specific details to estimate a realistic value range — giving you a far more accurate picture of what your home is actually worth in today’s market.
In short, assessed value is for taxes. Market value is for selling. The Digs Report helps you focus on the number that actually matters.
When demand and sales prices of homes are high and the economy is doing well the value of individual properties in the area can be expected to appreciate as well. Value appreciation is determined on an individualized basis, factoring in data on comparable homes within a .01-5 mile radius of the home. The same would be true in a down market.
A home inspection is a professional, visual evaluation of your home’s major systems and structure. During a Digs Report inspection, a licensed inspector will typically spend several hours reviewing the property, inside and out.
They will look at things like:
The goal is not to find perfection — it’s to identify material defects, safety issues, and deferred maintenance so everyone understands the true condition of the home.
After the inspection, the findings are documented with photos, notes, and explanations that become part of your Digs Report. This gives you the chance to:
Most homes — even very well-maintained ones — will have some findings. That’s normal. The advantage of a Digs Report is that you see them first, so nothing can be used against you later.
No. The homeowner does not need to be present during the inspection.
In most cases, sellers prefer to be away while the inspector works. This allows the inspection to be completed efficiently and without distractions. All findings are documented with photos, notes, and detailed explanations that are delivered to you in your Digs Report.
We only ask that the home is accessible, utilities are on, and all areas such as the attic, basement, electrical panels, and mechanical rooms can be safely reached.
If you have pets or special access instructions, we’ll coordinate those in advance so everything goes smoothly.
While it’s not required, many homeowners choose to be present during the inspection — and it can be extremely valuable.
1. You get real-time explanations
Instead of reading findings later and wondering what they mean, the inspector can explain issues on the spot — what’s minor, what’s important, and what’s simply normal wear and tear.
2. You learn what actually matters
Not every note in an inspection report is a big deal. Being there helps you understand the difference between cosmetic items and things buyers will truly care about.
3. You can provide helpful context
You can tell the inspector about recent repairs, upgrades, or quirks of the home that might not be obvious — which can prevent misunderstandings in the final report.
4. You’re less likely to be surprised later
Hearing findings firsthand gives you time to plan, fix, or price accordingly before buyers ever see the home.
5. You feel more in control
The inspection stops being something that happens to you and becomes something you’re part of — which is exactly the mindset the Digs Report is designed to create.
Title issues pop up more often than you might think, but they're not always deal-breakers. Roughly 1 in 3 real estate transactions (so about 30–35%) encounter some kind of title issue during the process.
A title search confirms that you actually have the legal right to sell your home — and that nothing is standing in the way of a clean closing.
Many sellers are surprised to learn that title issues are common, even when a home has been owned for years. Problems can include:
These issues don’t usually show up until a buyer is already under contract — when there’s a lot of pressure, deadlines, and risk of the deal falling apart.
The Digs Report includes a title review so these problems are identified before you list, when they are easier, cheaper, and far less stressful to resolve.
In short, a title search protects your sale by making sure your home is truly clear, marketable, and ready to transfer — giving buyers confidence and keeping your closing on track.
No. A title search does not require a visit to the property.
Title searches are completed using public land records, deeds, mortgages, liens, court filings, and tax records that are maintained by county and municipal offices. These records show the legal history of the property — who has owned it, what debts or claims may exist, and whether anything could prevent a clean transfer to a buyer.
Because everything is done through official records, the process is fast, accurate, and does not require access to your home.
No. You do not need a real estate agent to order a Digs Report.
Homeowners, investors, and sellers can order a Digs Report directly. Many people use it before ever speaking with an agent so they can understand their home’s condition, value, and title status before deciding how to sell.
That said, many real estate agents also recommend or coordinate a Digs Reports for their clients because it makes listings stronger, more transparent, and easier to sell.
Whether you’re working with an agent, planning to sell on your own, or just exploring your options, the Digs Report gives you the same thing: Clarity, Confidence, and Control.
