Whether the property is an addition to your investment portfolio or the operational center for your growing business, having a diligent and thorough property inspection is an absolute necessity when purchasing commercial real estate.

Buildings are complex, elaborate mechanisms that directly impact the health and safety of the occupants, support or impede operational capabilities, and are capable of being either savvy financial investments or dreaded money pits.
