I have 12 years of experience in the field of real estate inspections, with specific knowledge of home inspection, standards of practice and disclosure-risk management. I have published on such topics as home inspection standards of practice, real estate disclosure and risk management, and home inspection business marketing. I have testified on residential foundations and defect reporting, residential roofing and defect reporting. I am currently performing residential photo-voltaic (PV-solar) system inspections for a major manufacturer as part of their quality assurance program.
