Meet Philip Young

Seriously, you're going to base your decision to hire a home inspector based on the About Me section of his website? Aren't there other qualifications you should be looking for? Maybe. But maybe they're related, and maybe this is the start of the conversation we need to take your new home, your old home, your vacation rental or your investment property and Render it Safe.

How'd we get here? Well, sometimes you've got to do the wrong job for a while to figure out the right one was staring you in the face the whole time. There I sat, your friendly neighborhood insurance agent. Working from 8:30 to 5 behind a desk was never what I had pictured my work life to look like. I'm too active. I'm too people-oriented.

As I reviewed a 4-point inspection on my computer, an idea was rendering itself right there in my mind. It would get me out from behind the desk. It would pique my attention-to-detail brain. Most of all, it would allow me to help people with possibly the biggest purchase of their lives.

120 training hours later, I sat for the state exam and received my license. Research revealed a need for additional training — which is when I tuned into InterNACHI. Because a day in the attic or the crawlspace beats a day at the office — especially if it Renders your piece of paradise Safe.
