About Us
Advocates Home Inspection provides licensed and certified home inspection services, including various property inspections in/around Jacksonville, FL (Arlington, FL).
I am a real estate investor and certified master home inspector with over 30 years’ experience in home construction, repair, remodeling and consultation. My investigative approach starts before the inspection, researching the listing, tax and county records to formulate the best plan for a complete and educational report. My approach to home inspection, is to follow the mandated standards of practice, while also being guided by the experience of personally owning over 30 different homes.
In the role of a home inspector, I find it important to share with clients that I work in their best interests at all times. What this means above all else, is that a home inspection from me is a one-time cost that will always be performed to your educational benefit through documentation and reporting. I have not, nor will I ever sell products or additional services as an upcharge to my clients, as I see it as being contradictory to the interest of the client.
The report I create for my clients is their intellectual property to use to the best of their gains, and not anyone else’s. Furthermore, all of my reports are saved to the cloud, so that in the future, if someone claims a client needs something for their home that is different from what is documented in the report, I encourage the client to contact me before they give that person or company money, or sign a contract. As I mentioned before, I am a real estate investor and a home inspector. Working for clients is opportunity to protect their investment from people that come after me and try to sell them something they do not need.
As an independent owner and operator of my business, I look forward to working with you and answering any questions you may have about the house you are looking to make into your home, or your next real estate investment.
Working in your best interest,
Doug
