Home Sweet Home · A Topwater × Howard Hanna Program
Two brands. One mission.
The country's largest family-owned brokerage paired with a property intelligence company — together attacking the single largest hurdle to a closing in the Real Estate market today: the roof.
Est. 1957
The Most Trusted Name in Real Estate.
Howard Hanna is the #1 privately owned real estate company in America — 16 states, 300+ offices, and a decades-long commitment to guiding buyers and sellers through the most important financial decision of their lives. That commitment doesn't end at closing.
Tech · AI · Drone
Property Intelligence. Built for Homeowners.
Topwater is an expert roofing and restoration company that uses drones, satellite imagery, and AI-powered analysis to deliver verified roof and property health reports with precision like no other inspection. We built the technology. Howard Hanna brought it to you.
The Mission
Howard Hanna and Topwater give every buyer and seller verified property health intelligence — before the transaction, at the transaction, and for every year you own the home. Real estate has always known how to sell a house. Now it knows how to protect one.
Where are you in your home journey?
The right next step depends on which side of the transaction you're on. Pick the one that fits — we'll show you only what matters.

HOW IT WORKS
From booking to dossier in 48 hours.
A deliberately simple process built around the deal — not the weather, not the homeowner’s calendar, and not a backlog of manual inspections.
01
Schedule the inspection
Book directly from a listing or transaction. No homeowner coordination headaches — we handle access and timing.
02
We fly the roof
A licensed pilot captures 4K imagery in a single visit. No ladders, no liability, no second trips.
03
Forensic analysis
Our team scores condition, maps storm history, and flags every issue an underwriter cares about.
04
Carrier-ready dossier
You receive a shareable report in 48 hours — built to satisfy an adjuster the first time.
★★★★★
“First time leaving a review for a company but they deserve the recognition. Topwater repaired some old roof damage for me and knocked it out of the park. The two roofers that came by were absolutely amazing and the front office people were beyond helpful. Will be using them for all future roofing needs.”
