Buying or selling a home in Greenwich, Connecticut is a major investment, and the inspection should bring clarity, not confusion. At Nearwater Property Group, we provide calm, professional inspections that help you understand the condition of your home , not panic about it.
We’ve inspected hundreds of properties across Fairfield County, from historic estates in Belle Haven and Back Country to coastal homes along Old Greenwich and Riverside. Every inspection is guided by experience, integrity, and a commitment to giving you straightforward answers you can trust.
Our approach is built on expertise and transparency. You’ll never get vague language, alarmist reporting, or industry jargon, just honest insight you can use to make confident decisions.
We inspect every major component that affects your property’s structure, safety, and long-term performance:
Greenwich homes face unique challenges: coastal moisture, salt air, and seasonal storms near the shore; expansive clay and granite soils inland; and aging mechanical systems in older estates.
Our inspectors have years of experience evaluating Greenwich’s diverse architecture, from pre-war colonials in Cos Cob to modern homes in Riverside and Glenville. We know how local soil, drainage, and materials impact long-term performance and tailor every inspection accordingly.
Most inspections last 2–3 hours, depending on home size and complexity. Larger estates or properties with add-on testing may take longer. Reports are always delivered within 24 hours.
