Meet the Team

Since 1986 Homeward Bound has been the most trusted home inspection company in Michigan, completing more than 70,000 inspections. No company can succeed without an outstanding team, and Homeward Bound has the best of the best.

The entire Homeward Bound team has an eagerness to serve. Our inspectors are chosen based on many factors. Not only must they be knowledgeable about house and construction, but also have exemplary communication skills and an ability to educate clients.

As inspectors go through our training program, they learn to view each home as a challenge - to take the 2-4 hours of an inspection and put all the visual clues into a clear and concise report so that you, the home buyer can make an educated decision moving forward.

As you read through the bios of our team, know that we all care about where we fit in the home buying process. From answering the phone to showing up to your new home, we care.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about us.
