If you are in need of a home inspection in the Central Ohio area, Red Raven Home Inspection is here to help. Whether you need a buyer’s inspection, a pre-listing inspection, or you just are interested in a home inspection to ensure proper maintenance of your current home, you can trust us to deliver excellent services.

I am always here to help and ensure that you are aware of any potential issues with your current home, or a home that you’re interested in purchasing.

I am focused on education, and our goal is to provide you with all of the information you need about the property in question and its overall condition. I welcome my clients to walk through the home with me. This will give you a chance to ask questions, review any concerns and get familiar with your new home.

Red Raven Home Inspection has a thorough, multi-point checklist that ensures that no stone is left unturned, and I will explain the overall, general condition of the home and its systems to you and your agent after your inspection is complete.

In addition, I will compile a comprehensive Spectora report, delivered online via HTML, or in PDF format. Your easy-to-read report documents all of our findings and includes images, references and further details. This report will be available for you both in a desktop-friendly format and a mobile format so that you can stay in the loop and you can check your report even when you’re on the go.
