I Got A Guy For That: Keyvan of HomeTeam Inspections

Let me tell you one of the biggest advantages you have when working with me…

It’s not just that I know the market.

It’s not just that I negotiate deals.

It’s that when something comes up…

I’ve got a guy for that.

And not just a guy…

I’ve got the right guy.

Because in real estate, your results are only as strong as the team behind you.

And when it comes to protecting you during one of the biggest purchases of your life?

You better believe I’m not leaving that up to chance.

So today, I want to introduce you to someone I trust in a big way…

Keyvan from HomeTeam Inspection Service.

I sat down with him recently to break down what actually matters during a home inspection—and more importantly, what most buyers completely miss.

Why This Matters More Than You Think

Before we even get into it, let me set the stage.

Most buyers walk into a house and immediately start doing this:

• “I love the kitchen”

• “The floors are nice”

• “This backyard is perfect”

They’re falling in love with what they can see.

Meanwhile…

The real risks?

They’re hiding behind walls, under floors, inside systems you don’t understand.

That’s where someone like Keyvan comes in.

And he said something during our conversation that I want you to hear directly:

“When you’re buying a home, you really want to make sure you have the right team behind you because this is one of the biggest purchases people make. A good inspection team can save buyers from a lot of stress and unexpected costs later on.”

Read that again.

This isn’t about checking a box.

This is about avoiding stress… and avoiding getting hit with expenses you never saw coming.

The Stuff That Can Cost You $15,000 (That You’ll Never See Coming)

Here’s where it gets real.

I asked Keyvan what kinds of issues buyers miss all the time.

And his answer?

Exactly what I see happen in real life.

“There are honestly a lot of things buyers can miss during a walkthrough… some issues can end up costing anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 or even more.”

That’s not small.

That’s not “we’ll deal with it later.”

That’s a punch to the gut after closing.

He went on to break down some of the biggest offenders:

“Retaining wall problems are a big one… electrical issues are another thing we see a lot… sometimes everything looks fine on the surface, but there can be wiring problems hidden behind the walls.”

Let me translate that into plain English:

The house can look perfect…

…and still be hiding expensive problems.

“But It’s a New House…”

Yeah, I hear this all the time.

“It’s new construction, we’re good.”

No… you’re not.

And Keyvan shut that down immediately:

“Even with new construction homes, we still find issues. A lot of people think new homes are perfect, but sometimes pipes get damaged during construction and nobody catches it until there’s already a problem.”

That’s a dangerous assumption.

Because when you skip the inspection on a new home, you’re basically saying:

“I trust that everything was done perfectly by humans under deadlines.”

Good luck with that.

The $500 Mistake That Makes Zero Sense

Let’s talk about the decision that blows my mind every time.

Skipping the inspection to “save money.”

Keyvan said it better than I ever could:

“Buyers might save a few hundred dollars by skipping an inspection, but it could end up costing them thousands later on.”

And he’s right.

Inspections typically run around $500–$650.

Which, in the context of a home purchase…

…is nothing.

But here’s the part most people don’t realize:

That $500 isn’t an expense.

It’s leverage.

The Inspection That Paid for Itself (And Then Some)

Keyvan shared a story that perfectly sums this up.

“We inspected a home where the AC unit was only about two years old… everything seemed fine… but during the inspection, we found issues with the capacitor and the coil.”

And what happened?

“The seller ended up paying around $2,000 for repairs before closing.”

So let’s do the math real quick:

• $500 inspection

• $2,000 saved

That’s a 4x return.

Show me another part of the home buying process where you get that kind of ROI.

What a GREAT Inspection Actually Does

Most people think an inspection is just a report.

It’s not.

It’s strategy.

Keyvan explained it like this:

“A quality inspection can really protect buyers financially because our goal is to catch issues before they become the buyer’s responsibility.”

That’s the entire game right there.

Before closing?

Seller’s problem.

After closing?

Your problem.

And the inspection is what determines which side of that line you’re on.

It’s Not Just About the House… It’s About Peace of Mind

There’s another piece here that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Confidence.

Keyvan said it straight:

“At the end of the day, the inspection gives buyers peace of mind. You want to know what you’re walking into before making such a big investment.”

Because buying a home shouldn’t feel like a gamble.

It should feel like a smart, informed decision.

Not All Inspectors Are Built the Same

Now here’s where I’m going to challenge you a little bit.

Because this is another place people mess up.

They treat inspectors like they’re interchangeable.

They’re not.

I asked Keyvan what buyers should actually be looking for, and his answer was exactly what I’d hope:

“A lot of it comes down to experience and communication. You want inspectors who actually know what they’re looking at and who have been doing this for a long time.”

And then he added something that most people don’t think about:

“Our job doesn’t stop once the inspection is done… buyers should feel comfortable calling us even after the inspection if they have questions.”

That right there?

That’s the difference between a report…

…and a resource.

Here’s How to Choose the Right Inspector (Without Guessing)

Let’s make this practical.

If you’re buying a home, here’s what you should actually be doing:

Ask About Experience

“Ask them how long they’ve been in business, what kind of experience they have…”

If they can’t confidently answer that?

Move on.

Check Reviews (The Right Way)

“Read reviews and make sure they have good communication and customer service…”

Not just stars.

Look for patterns.

Verify Insurance

This is a big one most people miss.

“Make sure the company has proper insurance… ideally at least a million-dollar policy.”

No insurance = unnecessary risk.

Stop Choosing Based on Price

“Don’t just choose the cheapest option… experience and quality matter way more in the long run.”

This is where people shoot themselves in the foot.

Saving $100 upfront…

…to risk thousands later.

My Take (From Being in the Middle of These Deals Every Day)

Let me be real with you for a second.

I’ve seen deals fall apart because of inspections.

And that’s a good thing.

Because those were deals that shouldn’t have happened.

I’ve also seen inspections:

• Save buyers thousands

• Give them negotiation power

• Prevent disasters

And I’ve seen what happens when people skip them.

It’s not pretty.

Why I Trust Keyvan

This is the part that matters.

I don’t recommend people lightly.

Because when I put someone on your team…

…it reflects on me.

And here’s why Keyvan makes the cut:

• Over 10 years of experience

• Actually explains things in plain English

• Doesn’t disappear after the report

• Focuses on protecting you, not just checking boxes

Or like he said himself:

“Communication and trust matter just as much as the inspection itself.”

That’s my kind of person.

The Bottom Line

If you’re buying a home…

Don’t rush this part.

Don’t cheap out.

And definitely don’t skip it.

Because the inspection is one of the only moments in the process where you get to:

• See the truth

• Protect your money

• Make a fully informed decision

And when you’ve got the right team behind you?

That’s when everything changes.

And That’s What I Mean When I Say…

“I got a guy for that.”

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to understand the process better…

Reach out.

I’ll guide you, connect you with the right people, and make sure you’re not walking into something blind.

Because at the end of the day…

You don’t just need an agent.

You need the right team.

And I’ve already built it for you.
