THE REAL ESTATE INSPECTION CO.

About us

The Real Estate Inspection Company is the largest home inspection company in San Diego. Our unique approach to home inspections sets us head-and-shoulders above the rest. This is not only due to the superior reports that we create, but the personal attention you get from our well trained, experienced and friendly inspectors. We are not a run-of-the-mill franchise or part of another organization. Inspecting homes is all we do. High-Tech Being an independent home inspection company allows us to adapt to the ever changing real estate market. Instead of paying huge franchise fees, we invest in the latest technology available to a home inspector. We inspect hundreds of items in the house, and we use state-of-the-art equipment. Our reports are computer generated on-site and delivered immediately before we leave the property. The inspection report that you receive includes color photos and easy to read descriptions of any defects. We don't use cryptic check box form reports in a three ring binder. Our reports can be color printed onsite, and they are sent electronically to all parties. Infrared Thermal Imaging The San Diego Real Estate Inspection Co. is one of the few inspection companies in the country that incorporates INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING technology with a home inspection to help find moisture in a home - at no additional cost! Thermal imaging helps us to quickly locate moisture problems, missing insulation, leaking ducts, overheated circuit breakers and more. Infrared Cameras "see" the surface temperature of objects. Since wet areas change temperature at a different rate than dry areas, finding anomalies is easy with the Infrared Camera. The picture at right shows a leak from an upstairs bathroom, even though the house was freshly painted. Other inspectors would have missed this leak. Fast Turn-Around The real estate market in San Diego has changed. Forclosed homes are the norm rather than the exception. And with that comes short escrows and no disclosures. We have the staff to get to your inspections done right away. Our friendly office personnel are available to book your appointments and answer your questions. No more waiting for the inspector to call you back. We also have multiple inspectors so we can book your inspection, and get it done quickly. All of our home inspectors are well trained, prompt, and great to work with. You receive a report complete with photos and detailed information at the end of the inspection.

Gary started early taking pictures outside of the house. Everything was inspected. He took plenty of pictures using his camera and infrared camera as well as some videos. After his inspection, we stepped through his findings and answered any questions on his findings. The report was emailed later in the same day. The reports are on the HomeGauge website which allows you to download PDFs or send the web link to the report to others.

This is the third home inspection I have had in 3 months. Jamie is great. On every occasion, he arrived on time, completed thye work within the time estimated and was very responsive to questions. He took pictures and created the report as he conducted his inspection making the report available by email within an hour after the end of the inspection. Obviously, I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. What I liked most was his ability to focus on what is important and what is not. Every home is going to have issues, but some are less significant than others, and he emphasizes what a potential buyer needs to focus upon. Highly recommended!!!

He was quick and had infrared cameras. He looked in all the nooks and craneys. He provided a good list for us to follow on what needed to be repaired. That being said, we found many other items we believe he should have caught later on and are disappointed that he neglected to mark them down.

Philippe arrived on time. Once in the property, he setup his laptop and started the inspection. Everything was inspected, kitchen plumbings, oven, electrical panels, exterior walls, doors, roof, windows and the most impressive thing about this inspection was the use of an infrared device to see behind wall for leak and moisture. He pointed out the defect areas and offer his opinion. Very professional and easy to work with. Philippe provided the report on-site and also e-mail a copy in pdf format to me, my agent and the seller's agent. Will definitely use him for future property inspection.
