MR Ivey is very thorough. He does heat mapping pictures, is extremely knowledgeable of code issues. I was not able to be there during inspection, but I feel very confident he discovered all major issues with the houses I have looked at recently. He is also easy to reach by phone and patient with questions!
Brooke GoldenThe Smart Inspector really helped make us comfortable purchasing our house. Forest did a fantastic job, and his report helped us get a better closing price. Very professional, very knowledgeable, and we felt that he had our best interests in mind. I absolutely recommend The Smart Inspector to help you with your home inspection.
Albert HannaForest is a very professional inspector. He knows what he does. He shows you pictures of the items that need attention and advise you on solutions to correct them. He would also advise you to get second opinion on items that may need further attention. I felt that a friend was actually doing the inspection for me. Forest keeps you well informed of all the issues of your future home. He is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Forest to be the guy you call for your future home inspection.
Yovoie CastAbout The Smart Inspector
I’m Forest Ivey, the Smart Inspector. Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, I still proudly call DFW my home. Despite having lived in multiple countries, I always came back to my roots. My wife of 8 years and three-year-old twins are all natural born Texans, too!
I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades and a master of learning. I speak multiple languages, play multiple instruments, and love to build racecars. I enjoy woodworking, welding, and electrical work. I pride myself in doing more work than is necessary and always doing things right the first time.
When it comes to home inspections, rest assured that I will be quite thorough with every inch of the property. From the roof ridge down to the foundation, no nook or cranny will go unnoticed. Relaying the findings to you, the client, is just as important as discovering them in the first place, and I will make sure you have a full understanding of the property you have inspected.
