"I am honored to have earned your trust--I will always be in your debt." -Ed

"Impressed! My husband and I needed a home inspection completed within a short time frame. Having had a bad inspection in the past I was leery about finding a thorough inspector. I feel I hit the jackpot when I contacted Ed. He was so professional, caring, worked within our time constraints/preferences, was punctual, thorough and well equipped. I was impressed by his attention to detail as well as his knowledge and logic. His rates were extremely reasonable, especially in light of how thorough he was. I would recommend hiring Ed for your next inspection. Should we have another inspection need in the future he will have a repeat customer here."
-Samantha Sun, Home Purchaser, Seattle "We received a random inspection notice from City of Seattle's RRIO program. Never having received one before, we called Ed Zumwalt who had been recommended by a friend. What a FIND! He walked us through the entire process, was punctual for the inspection, processed all the needed paperwork with the city and sent us the city's certificate of compliance. We didn't need to do anything. He was complete, easy to work with and less expensive than the city inspectors. Will use him again!" -Neil and Jeannie Robblee, Rental Owners, Seattle "I have now used Ed for (2) home inspections and he is absolutely great to work with! His experience and level of knowledge is impressive and he also pays extra attention to every detail. Completely satisfied and highly recommend!" -Nathan Liston, Home Purchaser, Lynnwood "Ed worked on a home for me in Kent.

He was able to immediately inspect our house the morning we contact him. He was already heading to our area for another inspection and gave us a discount because he saved on travel costs. Ed was thorough, personable and professional. He sent a detailed digital report within 24 hours that included pictures and all of the notes necessary. Thank You!" -Patrick Ngyen, Home Buyer, Bremerton "Ed – Thank you so much for all your insight and suggestions. It was a true pleasure to work with you. I very much appreciate you taking the time to highlight items that while not a violation of the RRIO code, are things that I should pay attention to and might need maintenance/attention in the future. I came straight home and sent my tenant and husband the short list of housekeeping items that you mentioned. I feel that you added value to a process that otherwise could have been routine with little value added. Thank you!! All the best," -Leslie Richardson, Landlord, Seattle |

I had a great time working with him." -Steven Abbott, Homeowner, Olympia "I am new to commercial property management and really needed a patient, knowledgeable building inspector to explain things in layman's terms. Ed was referred to me by a property manager at a local firm. You can't get any better than Ed with Seattle Home Inspector LLC. He shows up early, and will explain things thoroughly. He worked great with my tenants and his expertise came surprisingly affordable! Ed is thorough and precise in his assessments and always quick to respond to inquiries. Ed came out to my strip mall building and did a cursory inspection that was very detailed and affordable. What I like most of all is his attention to detail and answers your emails promptly. None of that sitting and waiting to see if and when he will get back to you. I will use Ed again and recommend him highly." -James Melvin, Owner--Retail Strip Mall, Seattle "I am a realtor that works in the Greater Seattle, and I am so grateful I’ve met Ed at an open house. Ed is the very definition of "low stress" and his inspections are, indeed, "thorough and complete". He is Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, attention to detail, are all things that come to mind when I think of his company. His many years of experience in appraisals, commercial, and residential have proved very useful to my clients and I. He is the most knowledgeable inspector I have ever worked with AND the most easy going. He is always there when my clients and I needed him. Ed always arrives on time, and most of the time a little bit earlier than the appointment, which shows me that he cared about my business and my clients. He puts my clients at ease even if the house has a number of issues that are not really "Issues." He's great about pointing out things that should be done if it were his house but at the same time reassuring the buyer that the house isn't going to fall down or burn down anytime soon. I am highly impressed with the level of service and expertise by Ed. He provides very detailed reports with very clear explanations and pictures showing any issues on the inspection report. I am highly confident in his results and HIGHLY recommend him to all my friends, family, and other realtors! GO CHECK HIM OUT!" -Alicia Saetern, Broker, John L. Scott, Renton |
