Why We Started Proximity.

We kept seeing the same problem, rushed inspectors, vague reports, and buyers discovering issues after closing when it was already too late. So he built the opposite. One inspector, fully equipped, personally accountable on every job. No subcontractors. No shortcuts. Just the truth about the property, documented the same day.

Every Property Type. Every County. One Inspector.

    I have been a real estate agent for several years and I have used many different home inspectors. After using Brian, I have no need to go with any other inspector. He is professional, knowledgable and practical. He uses state of the art high tech equipment and does not cut any corners. Most importantly, Brian makes sure every client is taken care of from A to Z. Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments a person will make in their life, and Brian makes sure they are well taken care of. I refer Brian to all of my clients, including family, and you should too.
