New to this? Here's what to expect.

Buying a home is a big step, especially the first time. Here's a quick word from Henry on how the inspection actually works — and a few things worth knowing going in.

  • I'll walk you through the home in person and explain what I find in plain language — no jargon.
  • You'll leave knowing exactly what matters now versus what can wait.
  • There's no pressure. My job is to give you the full picture so you can decide with confidence, whatever you decide.

What our clients are saying

We earn referrals through honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail.

“I called a few inspectors, most were over priced and or were not available when I needed them to be. Lamar was there 4 hours inspecting the house before I even got there. He found very important issues that needed to be addressed. Lamar is knowledgeable, polite, and easy to talk to. He really does inspect the home like he was purchasing it himself or family.”

— Danny I.

“Lamar did a great job, very thorough and honest, then took the time to explain his inspection. The inspection revealed a potentially costly issue, allowing me to get a full picture of the home. In this real estate market some are skipping inspections — my advice is don't skip it, get the right inspector, get Crawford.”

— John

“Working with Lamar as a first time home buyer was wonderful! He prides himself in his work and treated our inspection as if it were a house he were going to buy. He was kind, easy to talk with, and great at answering any questions that we had.”

— Matt S.
