Dave has a Bachelor's Degree in Building Construction
Technology and over 20 years' experience in residential construction principles and
practices, working in Utah, Oregon and California.
Dave served in the
United States Navy for 21.5 years, retiring in 1999. He went back to residential
construction/remodel for the next 11 years then he left the industry and moved into
Home Inspections.
To become a home inspector, Dave studied with the
American Home Inspector Training Institute and passed their exam, becoming a
certified inspector. He later passed the exams for the California Real Estate
Inspector Association and the National Home Inspector Exam becoming certified by CREIA and ASHI (American Society
of Home Inspectors). Dave meets the requirement to obtain at least 30
Continuing Education Units in order to remain in good standing with the Association.
Dave has completed over 650 full residential inspections along with
several Foundation Certification Inspections, Infrared Energy and Moisture
Inspections, Foundation Level Inspections, FHA 203k Consultations, and Fannie Mae
Homestyle Consultations and one final walkthrough for a new home upon completion for
the buyer.
From his military service, Dave learned that "You get what you
inspect, NOT what you expect!" which is his company's tagline.
We are in full
compliance with requirements and standards established by Montanna State Law and the
American Society of Home Inspectors, ASHI.
When buying or building a brand
new home, a home inspection by an educated and experienced home inspector will give
you peace of mind.
You get a wealth of information about the home you are
considering. We avoid any conflicts of interest, providing our client satisfaction
and peace of mind.
We adhere to the Standard of Practice of the American Society of Home
Inspectors.
So you can see there is no one as well qualified as David Ritchie is to provide you with a comprehensive home inspection that will inform you and most importantly, give you peace of mind.
