First Name, let me introduce you to Ross Black, professional home inspector, owner of First Responding Home Inspections and a retired Central Texas firefighter. 

I like working with Ross because his firefighter background provides a unique perspective and he’s been in the Austin area for decades so he gets the local quirks. He’ll include thermal imaging by default which is important to help you battle our hot summers and offers an irrigation & sprinkler add-on if you want that to prepare for drought.

You can schedule the inspection here. Give me a call/text if you have any questions. Excited for you to take this next step!

Real Estate Agent FAQs

  • Ross is licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC PL #26543) and perform residential home inspections, which cover structural systems, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and appliances. We also offer optional add-on inspections, including:

    • Foundation elevation surveys

    • Irrigation & sprinkler system checks

    • Sewer scope imaging

  • We provide same-day digital reports to keep your clients informed and your sale on schedule.

  • Sure! Most inspections take 2.5-4 hours, depending on the size of the home and the additional services. While buyer and agent can attend the entire inspection, it is generally a better use of time to arrive for the last 30-45 minutes. We can review the highlights of the report together and look at question areas live if desired.

  • An inspection is not a pass or fail. The inspection is a snapshot of the house at the time of the inspection. Some things will inevitably come back as "deficient", which just means it does not meet a code of some kind.

  • Yes. While Travis and Williamson counties are the company’s primary service areas, Ross is state-certified (TREC license #26543) and can provide a home inspection anywhere in the Lone Star state. Schedule an inspection with First Responding Home Inspections and we’ll discuss if any travel fees are appropriate.
