When you hire me to inspect a home, you’re trusting me with more than the inspection. You’re also trusting me with your information.

That responsibility influenced my decision to leave Spectora after nearly nine years and move to Binsr. The Fixle rollout raised concerns for me about third-party marketing within the same experience where clients receive their inspection reports.

If an offer appears beside your report, would you assume I personally recommended it? That question mattered to me.

I recently shared my perspective in Working RE magazine. In my latest blog, I explain the principles behind my decision and what both homebuyers and fellow inspectors should consider about client privacy.

Protecting clients goes beyond the inspection report. KC Bartley explains why the Fixle rollout prompted his move to Binsr, his perspective featured in Working RE, and what homebuyers should ask about their information.

Radon has long been known to cause lung cancer. Now, new research from Oregon State University has found an association between residential radon exposure and brain and central nervous system cancers.

Another point every homeowner should understand: a radon level below 4.0 does not mean there is no risk. The EPA already recommends considering mitigation between 2 and 4 pCi/L.

I believe every homeowner should have their home tested. A lower result can offer reassurance, while an elevated result gives you information you can act on to help protect your family.

In my latest blog, I explain what the study found, what it means, and why testing matters, whether you’re buying a home or have lived there for years.

Professional Home Inspections offers radon testing as a standalone service or with your home inspection. Contact me to schedule yours.

New research links residential radon exposure to brain and central nervous system cancers. Learn what the findings mean, why levels below 4.0 pCi/L still deserve attention, and how testing can help you protect your family.

Old man still has it walking this almost 9/12 roof...barely. In all seriousness, nothing beats walking a roof for the most thorough inspection possible. I'll do it every time I safely can.

This is one of those reviews that makes my day.

Asten has trusted me with four home inspections, which means more to me than she probably realizes. This last house had some serious issues, and after the inspection they initially decided to walk away.

Then the sellers came back to the table.

Armed with a much better understanding of what they were buying, Asten and her family were able to renegotiate and ultimately purchase the home for $60,000 less than their original offer. I’d say that makes the inspection fee look pretty good! 😂

But the part of her review that means the most to me is this:

“He is skilled and professional and takes the time to educate you on what exactly you’re buying and the potential current and future risks.”

That has always been one of the most important parts of what I do.

My job isn’t to tell someone whether they should buy a house or walk away. My job is to make sure they understand what they’re buying, what concerns exist today, and what they may need to plan for tomorrow so they can make an informed decision.

Asten, congratulations on the new home, baggage and all! 😂 And thank you for continuing to place your trust in me. Four inspections later, it truly means a lot.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Knowledge today can save you tomorrow.

🔎 FINDS OF THE WEEK

Four different homes. Four findings that could have a very real impact on the people buying them.

This week’s inspections uncovered an attic space without a compliant emergency escape and rescue opening, unsafe conditions around an electrical panel, active water intrusion that was further documented with thermal imaging, and damaged floor framing.

Some defects are obvious. Others are hidden in crawl spaces, behind equipment, or simply aren’t something the average homebuyer would recognize as a concern.

That’s where a thorough home inspection earns its value.

My job isn’t just to identify defects. It’s to help my clients understand what they’re buying, what matters, and what may require attention before they make one of the largest financial decisions of their lives.

A home can look great during a showing and still have significant issues hiding in places most buyers never see.

Know the home before you own the home.

One of the most rewarding parts of this job is earning the trust of people who build, repair, and work on homes every day.

Nash is an electrician, so receiving a review like this means a great deal to me. Tradespeople understand the details, the craftsmanship, and the importance of doing things the right way. Knowing he trusted me not only with his own home purchase, but also recommended me to multiple family members, is an honor.

I don’t take reviews like this for granted. My goal has always been simple: provide an honest, thorough, and unbiased inspection so my clients can make informed decisions, whether the news is good or bad.

Thank you, Nash, for your trust, your kind words, and for allowing me to be a small part of your home-buying journey.

Rough draft. Coming to the DBHS scoreboard this Fall!

🚨 “Do Not Use” List? 🚨

If being thorough, objective, and unwilling to rubber-stamp a structure lands me on a builder’s “do not use” list… I’m okay with that.

My role as a home inspector is not to protect builders, agents, or transactions. My role is to provide an unbiased evaluation in the best interest of my client.

A new construction inspection is simply another set of eyes on the structure. And when it comes to one of the largest purchases most people will ever make, more qualified eyes are a good thing.

I don’t report opinions.
I report conditions.
And when I call out a defect, I back it with authoritative sources, manufacturer requirements, building standards, or industry best practices.

Anything can be repaired.
But issues that are never identified cannot be addressed.

At the end of the day, my job is simple:
Report what was right.
Report what was wrong.
Remain independent.
Protect the client’s ability to make an informed decision.

Upcoming blog post coming soon. 👀

Wayne made it clear he values all the facts, and I appreciated that. We walked through the structure together, including the attic and crawl space, and had the kind of thorough conversation that helps a client truly understand what they’re buying or preparing to sell.

That’s how I believe inspections should be done: honest, thorough, and informative.

I’m grateful for the review and for clients who value clarity over comfort.

Honest. Thorough. On Your Side.

Today is somewhat bittersweet. It marks the end of a 9-year era with Spectora.

I’m grateful for what it helped me accomplish over the years, but I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead with Binsr Inspect. I believe this move will be a positive one not only for me, but also for my clients and the real estate agents involved.

Onwards and upwards. 👍🚀
