This week (6/5/2020) I interviewed Ed Donofrio, Founder of Donofrio & Associates LLC (https://donofrioinspections.com/) about the residential and commercial Property Inspections during the pandemic.

For those of us in Real Estate business, we know how working with a reliable property inspector is critical for successfully closing a deal. Property inspection is taking a snapshot of a property before buyer and seller make a decision to proceed with closing. It basically tells you what’s working and what’s not working or what needs to be fixed.
I have worked with Donofrio team on many deals both residential and commercial and I am very happy with my experience with them. Having a military background, Ed runs a tight ship, all inspections are standardized. His staff is very professional and You can expect the same quality of service at every inspection. That said, I wanted to share this valuable resource with my network.
During our interview, Ed and I discussed the changes introduced to the inspection industry due to pandemic and learnt how to prepare our properties for inspection and answered the following questions:
1. How does COVID-19 change your business modal?
