Reliability That Makes You Look Good
When you recommend a home inspector, your reputation is on the line. With First Responding Home Inspections, you can feel confident knowing your clients are in capable hands. Ross’s background as a firefighter means he’s not only trained to spot risks and protect people, but he also carries the integrity and professionalism that come with public service. That experience brings instant credibility to every inspection.
On top of that, you and your clients can trust that Ross has already been thoroughly background checked and vetted through years of service. He shows up on time, communicates clearly, and delivers consistent, high-quality reports. The result? Peace of mind for you, confidence for your clients, and smoother transactions all around.
Services That Fit Your Clients’ Needs
Beyond standard home inspections, we offer add-ons like irrigation, sewer scope, and foundation measurement inspections — all under one roof. You won’t have to juggle multiple vendors, which simplifies your workflow, speeds up processes, and gives your clients added value.
Local Knowledge & Commitment
Central Texas has its own quirks — expansive clay soil that shifts foundations, irrigation systems that strain under long, hot summers, and roofs that take a beating from hailstorms. Because Ross has lived and worked here for decades, he understands these local challenges firsthand and knows where to look for issues that outsiders might miss.
That expertise means fewer surprises, smarter negotiations, and better protection for your clients. It also means they’ll walk away with practical, real-world advice on maintaining their new home in this region — not generic recommendations pulled from a template.
