In 48 hours or less, trained Gander scouts tour properties, find what the seller’s agent doesn’t want you to see, and help you get ahead of financial, physical, and legal risks — to confirm rentability and underwrite faster.
No agent. No commission. No incentive to tell you anything but the truth.
Every other party in a real estate transaction has a financial stake in the outcome. Gander doesn’t. We’re an independent third-party media and data capture service — our only job is to show you exactly what’s there.
Remote and out-of-state investors underwriting small multifamily and condo assets in NYC — who want to triage a pipeline or verify a unit before committing to a site visit or an offer.
Investors who have already signed a contract and need a licensed inspection. We’Investors who have already signed a contract and need a licensed inspection, or institutional buyers with in-house due diligence teams. We’re pre-purchase, pre-offer intelligence — not a replacement for formal inspection.— not a replacement for formal inspection.
Data captured in two layers — scout observation and AI-inferred material classification — so you see the underlying material, not just a visual category. Delivered as a structured package with timestamped media.
Asset grading — transparent scoring, not a black box
Kitchen and bath graded A, B, or C based on verified materials — not listing photos. Score breakdown included, not just the headline grade.
Appliance inventory — verified age or honest estimate
Every appliance logged by brand and manufacture year. When serial tags aren’t accessible, age is estimated from visible design cues and clearly labeled.
Plumbing inspection — catch expensive problems early
Under-sink photos identify pipe material and active leaks — the issues listing photos never show.
Damage log — every red flag documented and timestamped
Close-up photography of every observed defect, timestamped. Nothing surfaces as a surprise during inspection or after closing.
NYC compliance checks — four items generalist inspectors miss
Four NYC-specific items most inspectors miss pre-purchase: CO detectors, self-closing doors, window guards, bedroom legality. Each carries fines if flagged post-closing.
Rentability signals — the invisible metrics that move rent
In-unit laundry status, light direction, noise floor, and window view — the factors that drive rent premium and days on market.
Unedited walkthrough — see it exactly as it is
Not staged, not curated. Continuous walkthrough capturing layout, flow, natural light, ceiling height, and anything a photo hides.
Schedule and hand off
Share the property address, access contact, and your preferred window. That’s all we need.

Is this a replacement for a formal inspection?
No. Gander is pre-purchase due diligence intelligence — not a licensed inspection. We help you decide whether a property is worth pursuing before you commit to an offer. A licensed inspector should still be engaged post-contract.
How do you get access to the unit?
We coordinate directly with the listing agent or landlord using the contact information you provide. Most agents are accustomed to accommodating third-party walkthroughs during the showing period.
What markets do you cover?
Currently Brooklyn and Queens. We’re expanding to additional NYC boroughs — contact us if you have properties in other markets.
Are you affiliated with any brokers or agents?
No. Gander is an independent third-party media and data capture service. We have no broker relationships, referral agreements, or commission arrangements of any kind.
What if the agent won’t allow a third-party scout?
This is rare, but if access is denied we’ll notify you immediately and issue a full refund. No-access situations are not charged.
How is this different from a buyer’s agent doing a video walkthrough?
A buyer’s agent has a direct financial interest in closing the deal. Gander has no commission, no referral relationship, and no stake in your decision. Our report is structured, standardized, and designed for underwriting — not sales.
How is AI-inferred different from directly observed?
Every data point in the report is labeled by how it was produced. Directly observed means the scout saw and photographed it — a leak under the sink, a smoke alarm on the ceiling, a self-closing door tested on entry. AI-inferred means the scout captured a close-up photo and a model classified the material from that image — quartz vs. solid surface, painted MDF vs. natural wood, single-pane vs. dual-pane. AI predictions carry a confidence note and should be verified before being relied upon for material underwriting decisions. A third category — out of scope — is labeled explicitly when something wasn’t accessible or visible, so you always know what was checked and what wasn’t.
