More Than an Inspector
I grew up the son of a landlord in Bremerton, spent my high school years in Seattle, and have been elbow-deep in real estate in one form or another ever since. Working alongside my family on their rental portfolio as a kid taught me something most people don't learn until they've made an expensive mistake: the condition of a property is everything. Price, location, and curb appeal are negotiating points. What's inside the walls is the truth.
For most people, buying a home is the largest financial decision of their life. I bring more to that moment than a checklist. I've spent 25+ years as a real estate investor, 20 years as a licensed managing broker, 7 years as a loan officer, and I've been a licensed home inspector since 2010 — WSHI #750, one of Washington State's earliest license holders. I've personally inspected more than 5,000 homes across the Puget Sound region, and I currently hold the CMI® designation.
I know what lenders look for. I know what investors underwrite. I know how a bad inspection report can kill a deal — and how a thorough one can save a client tens of thousands of dollars at the negotiating table. When you hire Optimized Inspection Services, you're not just getting an inspector. You're getting someone who has been on every side of the transaction and knows exactly what's at stake.
Together, we'll leave no stone unturned, and assure that your decisions are made with the best information available.
