A Homeowner by Experience.
Hi, I'm Aaron. I've owned four homes across multiple states and lived through the buying and selling process multiple times. I know what it feels like to be on your side of the transaction, wondering what's behind the walls, hoping nothing major gets overlooked.
I don't do high-volume inspections. I keep my schedule intentionally limited so every client gets my full, unhurried attention. That means thorough work, detailed reporting, and the time to actually answer your questions.
When I inspect your home, you're not fitting into a packed schedule. You're the priority for that day. I can dedicate the time your inspection deserves.
Availability fills quickly.
Plan ahead if you have a closing date approaching.
Thorough & methodical
I inspect every accessible area, from roof to foundation, with the same care I'd want someone to give my own home.
Systematic approach
I look for root causes and patterns, not just surface-level issues, following the same methodical process on every home.
Clear reports
Photos, plain-language descriptions, and clear severity ratings, delivered within one business day. No jargon.
Never rushed
I keep availability limited on purpose. Every client gets my full attention, not a hurried walkthrough.
Your advocate
I work for you, not the agent, not the seller. My job is to tell you the truth about the home.
InterNACHI® Certified
Certified Professional Inspector® through the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. Every inspection follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
How It Works
Getting a home inspection is straightforward. Here's what to expect.
Schedule
Send your name, contact info, and property address. I'll reach out within one business day to confirm your date and time.
Inspection Day
I arrive on time and spend 2–4 hours doing a thorough walkthrough. You're welcome to join. I'll explain everything I find as we go.
Your Report
Within one business day, you'll receive a detailed digital report with photos, descriptions, and clear severity ratings. No jargon, no confusion.
Northern Michigan & the Eastern U.P.
I inspect homes throughout the Grand Traverse region and into the Eastern Upper Peninsula, from Traverse City up through the Straits and beyond.
Typical coverage is northwest and northeast Lower Michigan (roughly north of the Houghton Lake line) and the eastern Upper Peninsula. Exact trips depend on scheduling.
Don't see your area? Reach out anyway.
Need an inspection outside these primary areas?
Reach out anyway. I may still be able to accommodate depending on location and scheduling.
What to Expect
Answers to the most common questions about home inspections.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most inspections take 2–4 hours depending on the size and age of the home. I don't rush. If something needs a closer look, it gets one.
Should I be there for the inspection?
You don't have to be, but I encourage it. Walking through the home together means you understand what's in the report before you read it, and you can ask questions on the spot. It's one of the most useful hours you can spend on a home purchase.
When will I receive my report?
Within one business day of the inspection. You'll get a detailed digital report with photos, plain-language descriptions, and clear severity ratings. No jargon, no confusion about what's urgent versus cosmetic.
What does the inspection cover?
The full home: roof, attic, foundation, basement, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, exterior, and grading. Every accessible area gets inspected, following the InterNACHI® Standards of Practice. Specialized testing, like radon, water, or septic evaluations, sits outside the scope of a standard home inspection, and I'm happy to point you toward a qualified local provider if you need it. See the Services section for a full breakdown by inspection type.
What if serious issues are found?
That's exactly what the inspection is for. I'll document everything clearly, explain the difference between urgent defects and normal wear, and give you the information you need, whether that's to negotiate repairs, plan a budget, or simply proceed with confidence.
Do I need to do anything to prepare the home?
If you're the seller: make sure all areas are accessible: attic hatches, electrical panels, crawl spaces, and any locked outbuildings. If you're the buyer: nothing needed from you beyond showing up.
