At a Glance
The default national name for the Phase I on a lender's checklist; confirm who orders it before you hire them yourself.
- Pricing
- Custom Pricing, No published pricing; engagements are scoped and quoted. The firm's Phase I page (read Aug 2026) describes the product and the standard but carries no rate card, which is normal for this vendor class.
- Best For
- The Phase I your lender orders on any acquisition that includes real property, especially where a fueled, industrial, or dry-cleaning past use makes currency with the ASTM standard matter. If the deal is a leased-premises asset purchase, ask the lender whether a cheaper records search satisfies them first.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Scale you can verify on their own page: founded 2007 and supporting roughly one in five commercial real estate transactions nationwide
- Standard-setting depth: the firm participated in ASTM E1527 standard creation and updates, so reports track the current 2021 requirements
- Delivery model spans a single-site acquisition to a multi-state portfolio without changing vendors
Cons
- Built for commercial real estate lender panels, so your lender may order the report directly and hiring your own copy duplicates the spend
- No published pricing or turnaround; everything starts with a scoped quote
