Home Inspector Grandview MO. - Bulldog Inspections

“Isn’t that a grand view?”

Grandview MO. is a town named for the majestic view from the steps of the general store in 1912.

The chicken ‘n biscuits that left a bad taste in their mouth…

When the Kansas Jayhawkers crossed into the future site of Grandview, they commandeered Solomon Young’s 600-acre farm (Harry Truman’s material grandfather) and killed the hogs, shot the chickens, and stole their silver while they forced his grandmother to make them biscuits until her hands bled (ouch!).

Later, the US Air Force turned Grandview into a military town along with all the perks that come with a booming and disciplined community. 

Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base finally closed in 1994, but that fighting spirit never left. Even in the wake of recessions and dwindling population.

Today, Grandview MO. is a thriving family-friendly community full of growth and promise.

It’s got top-ranked schools, a revitalized business community, historic landmarks, progressive neighborhoods, excellent accessibility to I-49, I-435, I-470, and Hwy 150, close proximity to Kansas City and Overland Park, manageable home prices, one of the lowest debt ratios in the Kansas City metro, and one of the most sustainable communities in Missouri.

In 2020, Grandview also became the fourth strongest housing market in the state of Missouri and in 2018, it became one of the top selling zip codes in the KC metro area.

So if you’re thinking about throwing down roots and raising a family lucky enough to call Grandview home, don’t forget the home inspection.

And since Grandview MO. is home to the Bulldogs, it only makes sense to call Bulldog Professional Inspection Services when your offer gets accepted, and you want one of the best home inspectors around.
