I continue to met the highest professional and educational requirements available through many years of on-site experience, continuing education, field-testing, and an exhaustive membership review process.
I will always demonstrate the highest professional expertise and integrity with all of my clients. I am not allowed to actively engage in real estate sales or to have a financial interest in the sale or maintenance of any property that I inspect.
In order to assure the avoidance of any potential conflicts of interest I will not affiliate or connect my company or myself with any real estate companies or realtors, please see our Vendor List for your specific needs of other professionals.
