Vigilant Home Inspections

A BETTER INSPECTION EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR CLIENTS
The Inspector You Can Confidently Recommend

When you refer a client to an inspector, that referral reflects on you. I take that seriously.

I’m Dave Carver, owner and inspector at Vigilant Home Inspections, and I personally perform every inspection. I schedule only one inspection per day, which means your client gets my full attention, plenty of time for questions, and a detailed digital report delivered within 24 hours.

No rotating inspectors. No rushed appointments. No wondering who is going to show up.

Before You Refer Me, Meet the Inspector Your Client Will Actually Get.

Your clients aren't being passed to a team or assigned to whoever has an opening that day. When you recommend Vigilant Home Inspections, I’m the person who shows up.
In this short video, I’ll introduce myself, explain why I limit my schedule to one inspection per day, and show you what your clients can expect when you send them my way.

ONE INSPECTION. ONE DAY. FULL ATTENTION.
Why I Only Schedule One Inspection Per Day

Many inspectors build their schedule around volume. I built mine around quality.

Your client's inspection is the only inspection I schedule that day. That gives me the freedom to spend the time the property requires instead of watching the clock because another appointment is waiting. I can inspect carefully, document thoroughly, answer questions, review important findings, and then focus on producing a comprehensive report.

For a Realtor, that means you're referring your client to someone who has intentionally built his process around attention to detail instead of appointment volume.

MORE THAN A CHECKLIST
A REPORT YOUR CLIENT CAN ACTUALLY USE

After the inspection, your client receives a professional Spectora report documenting the visible and accessible systems and components I inspected. It’s designed to turn a lot of information into something clear, organized, and useful, both during the transaction and long after closing.
  • Delivered Within 24 Hours: Because I reserve the day for one inspection, I can focus on completing a thorough report without delaying your transaction.
  • Easy to Navigate: Clear sections, summary highlights, and organized findings make important information easy to locate.
  • Visual & Detailed: High-quality photos, annotations, observations, identified defects, safety concerns, and maintenance considerations provide context for what I found.
  • Accessible Anywhere: Your client can view the report from a phone, tablet, or computer whenever they need it.
  • Clear & Actionable: Findings are presented in a way that helps your client understand the condition of the home and determine appropriate next steps.

ADDED CONFIDENCE FOR YOUR CLIENT
Backed by the InterNACHI® “We’ll Buy Your Home” Guarantee

As a participating InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector®, eligible inspections can be backed by InterNACHI's “We'll Buy Your Home” Guarantee.

Under the program's terms, if a covered item required by the applicable Standards of Practice was missed during the inspection, InterNACHI®, not Vigilant Home Inspections, may purchase the home for the price your client paid.
The guarantee is valid for 90 days after closing and is subject to InterNACHI's eligibility requirements, exclusions, and terms.

For Realtors, it gives you another meaningful benefit you can share with buyers who want additional confidence when choosing an inspector.

27 YEARS OF PRECISION BEFORE HOME INSPECTIONS
Attention to Detail Wasn't Something I Learned Yesterday

Before becoming a home inspector, I spent 27 years working professionally in television and film sound production.

That industry demanded precision, patience, problem-solving, and the ability to notice small details before they became big problems.
I built my reputation by staying focused under pressure and delivering the result my clients expected.

Today, I bring that same meticulous approach to home inspections.
Different career. Different tools. Same vigilance.

THE TRAINING BEHIND THE REFERRAL
Certified Expertise Your Client Actually Receives

I am an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector (CPI)® with additional training and certifications covering the major systems and components of residential properties.

My training includes areas such as roofing, plumbing, HVAC, exteriors, decks, moisture intrusion, attics, insulation, ventilation, interiors, infrared technology, radon testing, new construction, and more.

And because Vigilant is a single-inspector business, those aren't simply company credentials.
They are the qualifications of the person who will actually inspect your client's home.
