This is a review I received from a client yesterday.

It’s a novel!

As a first-time homebuyer, finding the right home inspector was one of the most important decisions in my due diligence process. I initially found Ryan through ChatGPT, but I still did my own research before reaching out. After reviewing his qualifications, credentials, and what seemed like an endless number of positive reviews, it became clear why so many people recommended him.

My first interaction with Ryan was at 9:30 PMwhen I texted him about a unique situation involving a newly constructed townhouse that had experienced a significant water leak before completion. Because of contractual deadlines, there was a possibility I would need an inspection the very next day. Ryan spent the next 30 minutes discussing the situation with me and was willing to remain on standby despite the short notice.

The following day, Ryan arrived with only about an hour's notice and immediately got to work. From the beginning, I told him that I trusted his professional judgment and that I wanted facts, not reassurance. About halfway through the inspection, he uncovered issues that completely changed the trajectory of the transaction. Among other findings, he identified mold, rust, plumbing installations that were not up to code and very likely to lead to future leaks, cracked structural lumber suggesting deeper concerns, improper site drainage, an air conditioning unit installed too close to the home that could create warranty issues, an opening that could allow rodent intrusion, and several additional deficiencies.

The builder claimed they were properly addressing the water intrusion, but Ryan's findings told a very different story. It became clear to us that the problems extended far beyond a simple leak remediation. The issues were significant enough that we stopped the inspection before completion because it was obvious this was a property I should walk away from. Ryan then voluntarily credited me back for the unfinished portion of the inspection. That level of integrity is rare.

A few days later, I entered escrow on a completely different property, a 1950s single-family home with its own unique challenges. Because the home was built before that city was incorporated, there were no historical records available to reference. Once again, I hired Ryan, along with the specialists he recommended for plumbing (Southwick Plumbing), structural engineering (Crossroads Engineers), and contractor (Highlander Construction LLC).

What impressed me most was how well his team worked together. Every professional he referred was knowledgeable, thorough, and collaborative. Their willingness to communicate with one another gave me confidence that I was receiving a complete picture of the property's condition rather than isolated opinions. The quality of the people Ryan surrounds himself with speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients.

One example that stood out was Ryan's recommendation that I hire a dedicated plumbing specialist instead of paying him to perform additional plumbing-related services. Not because he couldn't do the work, but because it would save me money. He openly recommended the option that was best for me rather than the one that would generate more revenue for him. That level of honesty is exactly what you want when making one of the largest financial decisions of your life.

Ryan spent over five hours on-site performing inspections and coordinating testing that included mold, water, asbestos, methamphetamine, and lead paint concerns. He was incredibly meticulous, checking every accessible area of the property and taking the time to explain his findings. He charged me his actual costs for several tests and even absorbed part of the expense to expedite one of the results so I could meet my contractual deadlines.

Beyond his technical expertise, Ryan was patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me make an informed decision. He even took multiple phone calls with my mother to answer questions and address concerns, which helped provide reassurance during a stressful process.

If you want someone who will tell you the truth, protect your interests, perform an exceptionally thorough inspection, and prioritize your long-term success over making a sale, I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough. He saved me from a potentially disastrous purchase and then helped give me the confidence to move forward on the right property. As a first-time homebuyer, I can honestly say that Ryan was one of the most valuable professionals involved in my home-buying journey.
