Why this is worth more

The premium

Most agents are trained to close.
Matt is a REALTOR® who sees.

Buyers already hire an inspector after they fall for a house. Sellers already lose deals when that report shows up late. You still need a REALTOR® who can price, show, negotiate, and get you to closing.

Matt does that work — with a career as a professional home inspector behind it. Since 2009. Other agents still text and call him from their own showings.

You are not hiring an inspector to sell your house. You are hiring a REALTOR® who spent a career as one.

2009

Inspecting homes in Northeast Indiana since

20+

Years in houses — building, buying, selling

For buyers

Buy with someone who already understands the house.

You get a buyer’s agent — representation, offers, negotiation, closing. You also get the judgment of someone who spent a career inspecting homes. That changes how you look at a property before you commit.

  • A REALTOR® who can represent you through the whole purchase
  • An inspector’s career behind that representation — since 2009
  • Other agents still call him from showings. You get him in the house
  • Fewer surprises after you say yes

For sellers

List with someone who already knows how buyers will see it.

You get a listing agent who prices, markets, and negotiates. Before the house hits the market, you walk it together — so what would slow a sale down gets handled first. That is listing prep. It is not a free inspection, and it does not replace the buyer’s.

  • Walk the house before it is listed
  • Handle what will come up. Skip what will not
  • Priced, marketed, and negotiated like a listing agent
  • Fewer late surprises. A cleaner close

Why this is different

An inspector’s career. Put to work as a REALTOR®.

Showings, pricing, negotiation, and closing — that’s the job. Matt spent years as a professional home inspector before he took it on. That background informs how he represents you. A walkthrough with Matt does not replace an independent home inspection. It is not an inspection of the house while he is showing it.

The showing

He represents you in the house. A career inspecting them is what he brings into the room.

The listing

Priced and presented by someone who has seen, for years, what makes a sale hold — or not.

The decision

Judgment on the whole property. Not just the parts that photograph well.
