Your Inspection
What to expect from your inspection.
As a state-licensed home inspector trained and certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), Ryan Olson follows a comprehensive Standards of Practice and consistently abides by a code of ethics that always puts his clients’ interests first. This code of ethics means paying careful attention to small details and providing clients with the information they need to make educated and informed decisions.

What does a home inspection cost? You don’t have to jump through hoops to find out how much you’re going to pay for gas, food or clothes. So why should it be that way in the service industry? You’re right, it shouldn’t!
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, River City Home Inspection provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read Spectora report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference.
