Real estate is a demanding profession. Top Producers need an inspection company that they can rely on when time is of the essence, with professionals to get the job done accurately and precisely. That’s where HomeGuard, Incorporated delivers.

Established in 1988, HomeGuard has stood the test of time, serving as one of the largest home inspection companies in California. Each year, the professionals at HomeGuard perform over 50,000 inspections. With a presence throughout California, including multiple offices in San Diego and Southern California, they are a leader in the inspection industry and have built their solid reputation through their commitment to excellence.

Gary Lane, a Regional Sales Manager at HomeGuard explains, “Our business model allows us to align ourselves with Top Producers.  We know what’s important to them and we execute on their needs.  This reputation and trust are proven with 35+ years in the business.”

Taking care of real estate agents is where HomeGuard excels. “That’s all we do,” explains Gary.  HomeGuard is 100% focused on real estate professionals and their clients.

The experienced professionals at HomeGuard offer Home Inspections, Termite Inspections, Roof Inspections, Pool Inspections, Sewer Lateral Inspections, and Natural Hazard Disclosures. By working closely with real estate agents, they understand and ensure that customers receive the very best possible service.

“All of our home inspectors are certified by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI),” explains Gary. This designation is challenging to obtain and given to those who have rigorous training and sit for an intensive exam. “All inspectors must have 250 paid inspections under their belt before being an ASHI certified inspector.”

The California Association of REALTORS® now also recognizes and certifies home inspectors. “We have met all that criteria as well,” points out Gary. HomeGuard and their inspectors can be found on the list of approved C.A.R. Certified Home Inspectors.

HomeGuard offers a Value Inspection Package (VIP) that includes a Home Inspection, Termite Inspection, and a Free Choice Inspection of either a Roof Inspection, Pool Inspection, or Sewer Lateral Inspection - each with their own easy-to-read report.  Each inspector arrives on time, in professional attire, and in a HomeGuard vehicle. All these factors create a memorable experience for the customer, creating a lasting first impression.

 

With offices throughout California and close to 100 inspectors statewide, HomeGuard can dispatch inspectors from these offices and can usually schedule an inspection the next day. Inspections are reviewed thoroughly with the agent and their client with an “iPad summary” immediately following the inspection. Reports are promised next day, but generally can be delivered same day upon request. Expect solid reports with photos and hyperlinks.

 

“I’m a big believer that a picture is worth 1000 words,” says Gary. "That’s why we have a picture with immediate action items, so customers can see any potential issues with ease."

One of the things that sets HomeGuard apart is their commitment to customer service, making it convenient for San Diego’s Top Producers. They have a Customer Care Department with a live person on the phone who can help with scheduling and other issues. They also have a HomeGuard App that customers can use to schedule inspections and receive reports quickly and conveniently. The App is particularly useful for customers who prefer to use their smartphones for scheduling and communication.

 

“We let them know when we are going to be there, who is going to be there, and what is going to be done,” says Gary.

HomeGuard also offers repair services for termite damage, roof damage, and sewer lateral conditions. Their reports include a bid for the repairs, and they have a Repairs Concierge Department that handles all communication with their repair customers. This simplifies the repair process for agents and their clients, as they only need to deal with one company for both inspection and repair services.

“We have built our reputation over the years because of the morals and ethics of our owners, and the trust we’ve developed in our relationships with agents,” says Gary. In the event that something needs to be fixed, HomeGuard takes the necessary steps to resolve it. Their reputation has been established through their commitment to our customers. 

“We want to do business with real estate agents for a long time and build long-lasting relationships with them. That’s what is important to us,” says Gary.
