What to know about homes in Brandon & Riverview
Brandon, Riverview and Valrico have grown fast, which means a mix of established 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods and brand-new construction going up every month.
In newer Riverview and FishHawk subdivisions, Andy inspects new construction before closing so builder defects are caught while the builder is still responsible for them. In established Brandon and Valrico neighborhoods the focus shifts to roof age, AC systems near the end of their life and the original plumbing materials insurers ask about. Apollo Beach waterfront homes add canals, docks and storm exposure to the list.

Brandon & Riverview home inspection FAQ
Do I need an inspection on a brand-new home in Riverview?
Yes. New homes regularly have missed items like improper flashing, attic issues and incomplete work. An independent inspection before closing gives you a list to hand the builder.

Yes. Andy inspects canal and waterfront homes throughout south Hillsborough and notes visible concerns with docks, seawalls and storm exposure.
Is a 4-point required for my Brandon home?
