"Shawn is professional, efficient and very affordable. He includes not only photos of the subject property but also video when testing the furnace. For clear images of the roof condition, Shawn implements a drone so nothing is missed. You'll have your inspection report before Shawn leaves the property. I highly recommend."
— Maria Weston, Google Local Guide

It's also why every report is built to magazine quality — real photos, a clear layout, and findings written in plain English instead of boilerplate. A homebuyer shouldn't need an inspector on the phone to understand what they're about to own, and an agent shouldn't have to translate the report for their client before they can even discuss it. That's the actual reason agents across Southeast Michigan keep referring us: the report does the explaining on its own.
Inspections are led by Shawn Reed, a Michigan State Certified Master Property Inspector with over 20 years in Metro Detroit real estate development and due diligence, alongside Ajene Todd, a Michigan Licensed Builder and State Licensed Asbestos Inspector on staff — a combination most inspection companies in Southeast Michigan simply don't carry in-house.
Bird Dog screens a property fast — roof, foundation, electrical, structural, pest, safety/health, even tenant housekeeping health on an occupied rental — for under $170 total, so you know what's worth a real look before you spend on a full inspection.
