King County's real estate market is one of the most competitive in the country. When you're moving fast on a purchase decision, the last thing you want is an inspection that's equally rushed. Bryan D. Mize, CMI brings the same thorough, CMI-certified approach to every King County inspection — whether it's a Seattle craftsman, an Eastside condo, or a Renton rambler.
King County home inspection isn't one-size-fits-all. Seattle's urban core has craftsman bungalows from the 1910s and 1920s sitting alongside mid-century ramblers and brand-new condo towers. The Eastside market — Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond — runs heavily toward post-1980 construction with its own set of common defects: deck waterproofing, HVAC capacity, and builder-grade systems that have been deferred past their service life.
Bryan D. Mize has spent 15+ years inspecting homes throughout King County, completing more than 5,000 inspections and earning 550+ five-star reviews from buyers and sellers who needed a thorough, clearly-reported evaluation on a competitive timeline.
His background as a managing broker and real estate investor means he understands what's at stake in a King County transaction — and his CMI certification means he brings credential depth that few inspectors in the region can match.

Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch circuit wiring remain common in Seattle's pre-1960 housing stock. Both require evaluation and often affect insurance underwriting.
Clay tile sewer laterals in older Seattle and Eastside neighborhoods are susceptible to root intrusion and joint failure. Sewer scope inspection is strongly recommended in these areas.
Failed deck waterproofing and ledger connections are among the most common significant findings in King County inspections — particularly in condos and townhomes.
With Seattle's annual rainfall, roof drainage performance is critical. Blocked gutters, failed flashing, and inadequate slope create interior water damage that compounds rapidly.
Bryan schedules King County inspections throughout the week. Reports are delivered within 24 hours of inspection completion.
