🏆Contreras Home Inspections was named NIRA’S 2026 Affiliate of the Year!🏆
⭐️A message from C**t
“I am incredibly honored to be named NIRA’s 2026 Affiliate of the Year. I want to thank all the incredible Realtors I’ve had the opportunity to serve. Thank you to Sam and Steve with Contreras Home Inspections, as they continue to serve at their highest level. Thank you to all of NWI Real Producers Team and Preferred Partners who make the magazine BEAUTIFUL every month. Thank you to many other relationships I have gained within our real estate community.
A huge special thank you to my family and close friends who have supported me on this journey.
Lastly, Contreras Home Inspections and NWI Real Producers wouldn’t be a thing with out the loving (and back end) support of Val and my kids. They are the ones who deal with me through everything behind the scenes. The good/bad, happy/ stressed, highs/lows, in proximity but not “present” parts of a business owner. Without their understanding and commitment to the everyday grind of this path we are on, I would be a ship lost at sea.
I will strive to continue to be my best self for the community and very excited for what the future brings!”

“Some people may know this story, and some may not.
Before I ever worked for Contreras Home Inspections, I was a client.
I hired C**t for the 11 month inspection on my new home, and I proceeded to follow him around asking approximately 900 questions the entire time. 😂 While I don’t necessarily condone doing what I did, his patience with me spoke volumes.
He never rushed me. He never rushed the inspection. He took his time going through every nook and cranny of my home, and the fact that it was practically brand new didn’t change the way he inspected it. He gave it the same time, attention, and care he would give any other home.
During that inspection, I watched him answer calls, schedule appointments, talk with clients, and somehow manage everything else that comes with running a one man company.
So I offered to help.
And honestly, I wouldn’t be able to work for someone or represent a company I didn’t genuinely believe in.
Now, every day, I’m on the other side of those phone calls. I talk to people who are comparing prices, checking availability, asking questions, and trying to decide who they can trust to inspect one of the biggest purchases they’ll ever make.
They’re asking many of the same questions I once asked.
And every time, I can confidently tell them my own story. I didn’t start here because I answered a job posting. I started here because I was a customer first, and I believed enough in the way C**t ran his business to want to become part of it.
C**t is a great boss, a great person, and someone who truly cares about the work he puts his name on. It’s pretty easy to stand behind a company when you believed in it before you ever worked there.
Seeing Contreras Home Inspections named Affiliate of the Year makes me incredibly proud to be part of what C**t and Val have built.
Very well deserved!"
