Home inspections trusted by Lakeville buyers and sellers
We've inspected hundreds of Lakeville, MN homes — from Spirit of Brandtjen Farm (SBF) and Highland Acres to Donnay's Valley Park. Lakeville home stock skews toward newer construction (2000s+) in Spirit of Brandtjen Farm, Highland Acres luxury homes, lakefront properties on Lake Marion, and 1990s subdivisions. Median build year: 2003. School district: ISD 194 (Lakeville Area).
That mix of ages means a Lakeville inspector needs to know two things: what the older homes hide, and what the new builds get wrong. Twelve years and 3,000+ Dakota County inspections later — we know both.
