Why Construction Expertise Matters for Equestrian Properties

Horse properties require more than a pretty house.
They require functional structures that support animals, equipment, and long-term upkeep.

With 20+ years of construction experience, I help you evaluate:

✔ Barn structure & ventilation

✔ Roof age, foundation, siding, and stall integrity

✔ Fencing condition (post integrity, wire/safety risks)

✔ Electric & water access to barns and pastures

✔ Drainage and grading (critical for horse health)

✔ Arena footing quality and base preparation

✔ Soil type & land usability

✔ Septic, wells, and rural utility condition

✔ Future building potential (barns, workshops, arenas, etc.)

Most agents don’t know what to look for — but equestrian buyers rely heavily on expert evaluation.

I help you spot potential issues before inspections or costly surprises.
