What I Offer

Inspection Services

Comprehensive inspections tailored for residential buyers, sellers, and homeowners in the Grand Traverse region.

Buyer's Inspection

The most important step before closing. I inspect the entire home — roof to foundation — so you know exactly what you're getting into.

  • Roof & attic
  • Foundation & basement
  • HVAC systems
  • Plumbing & electrical
  • Windows & doors
  • Exterior & grading

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sell with confidence. Identify issues before buyers do, price your home accurately, and avoid last-minute deal-killers.

  • Same scope as buyer inspection
  • Helps set realistic price
  • Reduces negotiation surprises
  • Speeds up the closing process

New Construction

Brand new doesn't mean perfect. Builder oversights are common — a third-party inspection protects your investment from day one.

  • Pre-drywall walkthrough
  • Final walkthrough
  • Code compliance review
  • Builder punch-list support

Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas and the #2 cause of lung cancer. Michigan has elevated radon levels — testing is highly recommended.

  • 48-hour continuous monitoring
  • Calibrated equipment & standard protocols
  • Results included in report
  • Mitigation guidance if needed

Mold & Moisture

Northern Michigan's humidity and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles create ideal conditions for moisture issues and mold growth.

  • Visual moisture assessment
  • Thermal imaging (where applicable)
  • Problem area identification
  • Remediation recommendations

11-Month Warranty

Already own your home? Get an inspection before your builder's one-year warranty expires and hold them accountable for defects.

  • Full structural review
  • Systems & components check
  • Documentation for warranty claims
  • Peace of mind for year two

About Aaron

Detail-Oriented by Training.
A Homeowner by Experience.

Hi, I'm Aaron. By day I work as a Software Quality Engineer — my job is to find what others miss before it becomes a problem. I bring that same systematic, methodical approach to every home inspection.

I've owned four homes across multiple states. I know what it's like to be on your side of the transaction — wondering what's behind the walls, hoping nothing major gets overlooked. That lived experience shapes how I inspect and how I communicate what I find.

I keep my schedule intentionally limited so that every inspection gets unhurried, focused attention. Evenings and weekends — planned around your timeline, not a high-volume booking queue.

📍 Traverse City, MI

Availability fills quickly — evenings and weekends only.

Plan ahead if you have a closing date approaching.

Nothing glossed over

I inspect every accessible area — roof to foundation — with the same care I'd want someone to give my own home.

Systems-driven

My background in Software Quality Engineering means I look for root causes, not just symptoms. Patterns matter.

Clear reports

Photos, plain-language descriptions, and clear severity ratings — delivered within 24 hours. 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.

Certification in progress

Completing InterNACHI certification with a commitment to ongoing education in building systems and inspection standards.

Founding Client Pricing

A Limited Number of Inspections at a Reduced Rate

I'm selectively taking on early clients at a reduced rate. In return, I ask only for an honest review of your experience — positive or critical. This isn't a discount for its own sake. It's how I build a track record one thorough inspection at a time.

Same thorough inspection — no shortcuts
