Born and raised in the Bay Area of California, a sense of adventure led me to enlist in the Marine Corps infantry at age 21, ultimately landing me here in the beautiful state of North Carolina. After 21 years, I retired and set out to accomplish a life-long dream:  thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, which I completed in 2021. I decided to become a home inspector because I know first-hand the trials and tribulations involved with purchasing a home and the importance of our clients and realtors knowing what you’re getting into.

I completed my home inspection training with Gregory Enterprises’ The Home Inspection Training Center in Burlington, NC, and I love this profession. My family and I reside in Onslow County. We love to travel, explore, and get off the beaten path whenever we can. When I’m not working or traveling, you can find me on one of the many challenging golf courses in this area, working on my “honey-do list” around the house, or in the garage woodworking.

I promise to give the inspection of your home with the same time and diligence that I would provide as if I were doing it for my family. 

My name is Dave Schaefer, and I approve of this message!
