Seriously, you’re going to base your decision to hire a home inspector based on the About Me section of his website? Aren’t there other qualifications you should be looking for?

Maybe. But maybe they’re related, and maybe this is the start of the conversation we need to take your new home, your old home, your vacation rental or your investment property and Render it Safe.

How’d we get here?

Well, sometimes you’ve got to do the wrong job for a while to figure out the right one was staring you in the face the whole time.

There I sat, your friendly neighborhood insurance agent. The phone happened not to be ringing, so I was working up some quotes for customers.

Was my heart in it? Not exactly. Working from 8:30 to 5 behind a desk was never what I had pictured my work life to look like. I’m too active. I’m too people-oriented.

As I reviewed a 4-point inspection on my computer, the images and notes blurred, and I had a realization. An idea was rendering itself, right there in my mind. “I can do this,” I thought.. It would get me out from behind the desk and active. It would pique my attention-to-detail brain and challenge me again.

Most of all, itI would allow me to help people not only with insurance issues, but with possibly the biggest purchase of their lives. 

120 training hours later, I sat for the state exam, and received my license with the state. Research revealed a need for additional training, which is when I tuned into InterNACHI.  

So while anyone can inspect your home, only properly certified and licensed inspectors can sign off on the reports your insurance company is going to want, and even fewer of them are going to love every minute of their time getting you what you need. Because, just ask me--a day in the attic or the crawlspace beats a day at the office--especially if it Renders your piece of paradise Safe.
