For real estate agents
Your client’s inspection, handled personally
I do every inspection myself, I confirm the details with you and your buyer, and I send your client’s home inspection report within 24 hours of the inspection. I explain what I find in plain words: what’s serious, what’s normal for the age of the house and what’s just maintenance.

Book for a client
What to send me.
Schedule online, text me or call. The online scheduler has fields for the buyer’s agent, so I have your details from the start. Send what you have:
- the property address, year built and approximate square footage
- basement, crawl space or slab, and whether the home is occupied or vacant
- your client’s due-diligence deadline
- any add-ons your client wants
- the CBS code, gate codes and any other access details
- the Seller’s Property Disclosure and any repair records
I confirm the date, time and price with you and your buyer. I use Supra eKey for lockbox access, your buyer signs the inspection agreement before the visit, and you and your client get a reminder text before the inspection.

Deadlines
Built around your client’s due diligence.
| Service | Timing |
|---|---|
| Home inspection report | Within 24 hours of the inspection |
| Radon test | At least 48 hours of monitoring, then pickup and the result, so start it early in due diligence |
| Mold lab results | Usually about two business days; shipping and weekends can add time |
| Sewer scope | Video and written findings; I confirm timing when you book |
| New construction stages | I confirm report timing for each stage when you book |
From about February through July my calendar fills fastest, so send it over as soon as your client is under contract.
How I report
Honest, and in proportion.
I’m not here to kill deals, just to make sure my clients know exactly what they’re walking into.
I observe, I report, and when something needs a specialist, I say who should look next. I tell your client what’s serious, what’s typical for the age of the house and what’s simply maintenance. It isn’t pass/fail and it isn’t a code inspection. It’s a clear picture of the house.
I keep my language simple: plain enough for your client, and specific enough that a contractor knows exactly what I mean.
My client is whoever signs the inspection agreement, usually your buyer. When your client authorizes it, I share the report with you. If they ask me not to, I respect that. Want to talk through an authorized report? Call me, on your own or on a three-way call with your client.
When to suggest an add-on
A quick guide to add-ons.
Radon testing
On almost any purchase. EPA recommends testing every home, and the monitor needs at least 48 hours, so add it at booking, not at the end of due diligence.
Radon testingSewer scope
Older homes, big trees near the line, or any history of backups. Public water doesn’t always mean public sewer, so ask which the house has.
Sewer scope inspectionsMold testing
A musty smell, a past leak or a disclosed mold history. Visible mold usually needs the moisture fixed and a cleanup, not a test; a test can answer a specific question when there is one.
Mold testingNew construction
Buyers who are building: pre-drywall, final and 11-month warranty inspections, timed to the build.
New construction inspectionsAlso available: termite letters (I do the termite inspection, and ProCare Pest Control issues the letter; not available everywhere I inspect, so ask first), pool and spa inspections, chimney camera inspections (not a Level 2 chimney inspection) and floor plans. Buying in DeKalb? Ask me about the county’s plumbing-fixture Certificate of Compliance. IAC2 mold and radon certification: verify my listing.
Free CE class
Bring a free, three-hour CE class to your office.
I teach Decoding a Home Inspection Report, a free, three-hour, in-person class for Georgia real estate professionals. It’s approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission for three CE hours, and I teach it as an InterNACHI-approved instructor. I created this course to help you easily understand a home inspection report and, ultimately, to make your job easier.
I teach at your office or another venue you provide, with a minimum of five agents. GREC Course Code 77094 · InterNACHI School Code 7856.

Questions
Agent questions.
Who is your client, me or the buyer?
Whoever signs the inspection agreement, which is usually your buyer. I keep my client’s interests first, and I share the report with you when your client has authorized it.
I’m the listing agent. How will you treat my seller’s home?
With respect. It’s still their home: “no touchy touchy” with their belongings, and no moving furniture. I use Supra eKey, and I share findings only with my client and the people my client authorizes.
Where do you inspect?
Anywhere within about an hour and a half of Flowery Branch: from Woodstock across to Athens, from Blue Ridge and Hiawassee down to Dahlonega and Lake Lanier, and across metro Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and Kennesaw. Find your client’s town → Buying north of Atlanta? Here’s my guide to the northern suburbs.
Can my client schedule online?
Yes. Send your client the scheduling link with the button above, or schedule it yourself; the scheduler has fields for the buyer’s agent. Either way, I confirm the date, time and price with you both.
Is the CE class really free?
Yes. It’s free for Georgia real estate professionals, with a minimum of five agents. Course details →
