Optimized Inspection Services was based in Lynnwood for years. Bryan has inspected more homes in this city than almost any other in his portfolio. That familiarity with specific neighborhoods, housing patterns, and common local issues translates directly into more thorough inspections.

The opening of Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link extension has significantly increased Lynnwood's appeal for transit-oriented buyers. Increased demand means competitive offer situations — and Bryan offers pre-offer consultations for buyers in competitive markets.

This Lynnwood home had been lived in for years and showed the kind of accumulated maintenance and DIY decisions that an inspection is uniquely positioned to surface. Bryan flagged significant rodent intrusion in the crawlspace with damaged sub-floor insulation requiring full remediation, power cords routed through walls in place of proper wiring (a fire-safety concern requiring licensed-electrician repair), insufficient carbon-monoxide alarms (Washington state requires one per floor), GFCI gaps in bathroom locations, and a minor scald hazard with hot water at 120-125°F. Long-term ownership decisions are easier when you know exactly what you're walking into.
