Everything we do, on one page.

A paid property review for homeowners who need a clearer next step before committing to more work or more money.

A direct consultation for homeowners who need a clear answer on scope, permits, budget, or project decisions.

A paid early review for homeowners who need to understand permit requirements before work starts creating waste and confusion.

A pre-acquisition underwriting opinion. You send the deal; we send back scope feasibility, a rough budget range with confidence levels, the construction risks, and the walk-away trigger.

A paid early review for investors who need a cleaner local permit and compliance read before the deal closes.

A line-item audit of your existing budget and scope against current market costs. Works pre-purchase (validating a pro-forma) or post-purchase (before contractors price it or the lender sets the draw). You bring a budget — yours, an investor pro-forma, a contractor bid — and we pressure-test it.

We BUILD your project budget from scratch — takeoffs, real trade-network unit costs, written assumptions, and a bid-ready spreadsheet. The budget a GC would put together for the job, delivered without hiring one.

A paid consultation for investors who need to know what kinds of contractors this project actually needs — and why — before hiring conversations start.

A fixed-price review service for investors who need a cleaner read on draw support before funding friction gets worse.

We source vetted contractors that fit your scope, collect bids on a structured intake, level them against each other, and present the cleanest comparison — so the award decision is easier and you are not chasing random quotes.

Urgent inspection-issue triage for active deals — a licensed NC GC identifies the top 3–5 items that actually matter, attaches a rough dollar range to each, and recommends a response path within 4 hours.

A comprehensive inspection-report read by a licensed NC GC — item-by-item analysis, cost estimates, a client-shareable PDF, AND a paste-ready Repair Request Language section the agent can forward to the other side without rewriting anything.

The flagship realtor product. A licensed inspector visits the property AND a licensed NC GC turns the findings into a 3-tier estimate: Mandatory (code/loan-killers, 5–7 day fix guarantee), High-ROI (2× return cosmetics), and Disclose & Skip (formatted as a quote so the seller can credit the buyer exactly). The deliverable that closes deals instead of opening fights.

Construction-side opinion on inspection-driven negotiation concessions. "Buyer wants $15K credit for HVAC — is that reasonable? What's the real number?"

A GC-signed single-page letter with itemized repair costs and a recommended total credit figure — built to forward directly to the other side and anchor the negotiation on defensible numbers.

A licensed GC rebuttal to an appraiser's condition findings — point-by-point response, photo documentation, GC sign-off. Saves deals stuck at appraisal stage.

A licensed NC GC visits the property before final walkthrough to verify the seller's repairs were actually done — and done correctly.

For listing agents with multiple offers — a licensed GC risk-ranks each offer based on inspection-contingency language, repair-credit thresholds, and buyer behavior signals.

A prioritized 12-month repair and maintenance plan for the new owner — what must be done in months 0–3, 3–6, 6–12, with rough budgets per item.

Single-page brand-neutral PDF highlighting the property's construction strengths and acknowledging known items proactively. MLS-ready and built to set buyer expectations in writing.

The full listing-side construction co-pilot. GC-Grade Property Inspection + Pre-Listing Valuation + Construction Confidence Sheet + Prep PM coordination call + Inspection Review + Repair Credit Letter + Repair Verification Visit.

The full buyer-side construction co-pilot. GC-Grade Property Inspection + Negotiation Strategy Read + Inspection Review + Repair Scope Letter + Repair Verification Visit + Year-1 Priority Repair Plan.

A GC-signed scope of repair for buyer agents — names each item, defines what "fixed correctly" means, gives a fair-market dollar figure, and lists the trades and permits required.

A licensed NC GC audits the property pre-listing — fix-vs-skip-vs-disclose tables, condition-adjusted price band, repair-spend ROI per item. $299 fee is fully credited back if Southern Cities handles any of the repair work afterward. Filter cost for serious sellers, refunded for committed ones.

A pricing-direction service for homeowners who need a more realistic budget range before deciding how to move.

A pricing-direction service for owners who need a clearer cost range on a vacant unit or turn before delay, rent loss, and scope creep get worse.

A clearer read on what should be fixed, what can be skipped, and what prep budget range makes sense before a listing goes live.

Permit help for contractors and trade teams that want paperwork handled more cleanly.

Support for contractors who need inspections lined up, tracked, and followed through without extra back-and-forth.

Permit help for homeowners who need filings, corrections, and inspection coordination handled more tightly.

Help for active residential jobs that need tighter coordination, clearer milestones, and steadier follow-through.

Help for active investor projects that need tighter communication, stronger follow-through, and better accountability.

A planning review that maps the trades and scope you actually need before contractor decisions move forward.

A planning review that ties scope, sequence, and timeline together before the project leaves the drawing board.

A funding-side review that aligns the draw schedule with scope, lender expectations, and real progress milestones.

A funding-side review that builds a schedule of cashflows around the actual project plan, draw structure, and lender pressure points.

Our flagship hybrid execution model — you stay the owner and PM; Southern Cities provides the GC structure, permit pulling, and execution controls.

An execution-support service that adds coordination, control, and follow-through to active projects without taking over full management.

Full-service construction management for investor projects that need a single accountable team running the entire build.

Southern Cities manages the prep crew so the agent doesn't have to. We scope the work, source and vet the trades, schedule the job, run the site, and hand back a ready-to-photograph house on the agreed date.

Agency-wide construction support — unlimited inspection reviews, listing-prep reads, and pricing-direction questions for the whole brokerage. Includes a dedicated GC Support Specialist and quarterly business review.

Monthly support for contractors who need permit follow-up, inspection scheduling, and correction handling taken off their plate.
