Justin Hoffman/Agency Hydra

Agency Hydra is a state of the art technology centric talent agency. It creates software that allows for a massive and diverse talent pool which casting agencies and production companies can use efficiently to streamline their needs. Agency Hydra differs from other talent agencies by having this unique, diverse, searchable talent pool and the development and application of technology. Agency Hydra is as much a software company as it is a talent agency. They are a modern approach to an industry lagging behind other markets due to its antiquated approach to both talent and casting agents alike.

Reginald Turk/Forensic Home Inspections

Forensic Home Inspections uncovers the facts. When it comes to homes, what you see is not necessarily what you get. And what you don’t see can definitely hurt you.

Any home may have hidden issues that if not uncovered in time can cost you a lot in the long run. Older homes may have suffered from excessive wear and tear or neglect. Newer homes may have quality issues that should be corrected by the builder before you take possession.

If you’re buying, eliminate any unpleasant surprises before you close. If you’re selling, sell faster and get your asking price by assuring potential buyers of the health of your home. Whatever the case, be sure you’re making the right decision by having your home inspected by Forensic Home Inspections.
