If you have separate wall switches for the fan and the light just swap the fan switch with a Caseta fan speed controller switch model number PD-FSQN. Done. The controller is pretty slick and even supplies an initial higher speed kick to the fan for two seconds or so to get it started in the low speed setting.

You don't need a contractor to check and see if there's a neutral. Just pop open the covers of a couple single light switches (with only one switch controlling the lights) and peer inside. If you only see one set of wires (one white, one black, and one bare) with the white wire running to one screw of the switch and the black wire running to the other screw the switch, you have what's called a switch loop where there is no neutral run to the actual box on the wall. If you see two or more sets of black, white, bare wires with the switch only being connected to black wires and the white wires being connected together with a wire nut, you have a neutral in the box. You said in the home buying thread that it was built in 1972 which means it is very very likely to have switch loops because copper was stupid expensive then and they were trying to use his little of it as possible. Unfortunately that also means that the house is rather likely to have aluminum wiring, so be sure to check on that.
