A Smooth Transaction Starts with Trust
When Jane Alvarez, a top-producing realtor on California’s Central Coast, took on a new listing, she knew the market was hot—but also competitive. Buyers were moving quickly, often waiving traditional inspections to gain an edge. That worried Jane. She’d seen deals sour when hidden issues surfaced post-sale, leading to unhappy clients and damage to her reputation.
Enter SKAN. Before listing the property, Jane ordered a SKAN scan—a non-invasive, science-backed assessment that compiled data from every visible part of the home. Within 48 hours, she had a full property health profile: moisture readings in vulnerable areas, wear-and-tear projections for roofing and siding, and notes on potential upgrades that could boost buyer appeal.
When the first offer came in, Jane used the SKAN report to set expectations with the buyers’ agent. “Here’s everything we know about the home, upfront—no surprises,” she explained. The transparency built immediate trust. Buyers appreciated the honesty, and Jane’s sellers avoided a drawn-out negotiation over inspection findings.
For Jane, SKAN didn’t just protect her clients—it made her stand out. By offering data others couldn’t, she positioned herself as a trusted advisor, not just a salesperson. The property sold over asking, closed on time, and everyone left the table satisfied.

A Competitive Advantage in the Field
In today’s fast-paced market, the realtor who brings the most clarity wins. SKAN equips agents with a comprehensive property health record before the first showing, turning potential negotiation landmines into opportunities for confident pricing.
For sellers, SKAN uncovers value-boosting improvements. A report might recommend low-cost curb appeal upgrades or highlight a recently replaced roof—details that reassure buyers and justify the asking price. For buyers, SKAN’s granular data helps assess whether a home is truly move-in ready or if repair costs should be factored into the offer.
Jane began incorporating SKAN into her standard process for all listings. “It’s like having a pre-inspection, but smarter,” she says. “We can market the property with a clean bill of health, or address issues proactively.”
Her buyers benefit, too. Instead of relying solely on a rushed inspection contingency, they can review SKAN’s long-term maintenance forecasts—helping them understand not just the home’s current state, but its future upkeep needs. That foresight often prevents buyer’s remorse and strengthens Jane’s reputation as a client-first realtor.

Future-Proofing the Realtor-Client Relationship
Closing a sale is just the beginning. SKAN allows Jane to maintain relationships long after the transaction by offering follow-up scans. A year after moving in, her buyers receive an updated property health report—keeping them informed and connected to Jane for future referrals.
These ongoing touchpoints turn one-time clients into lifelong advocates. Sellers remember how SKAN helped secure a clean sale. Buyers appreciate that Jane didn’t just hand over the keys—she gave them a plan to protect their investment.
By integrating SKAN, Jane transformed her business from a transactional model to a relationship-driven practice. Each scan strengthens her network, differentiates her in a crowded market, and reinforces the trust that fuels repeat and referral business.
