Bryan was able to accommodate our home inspection on short notice. He offered a brief explanation of his findings while we were on site, and sent a thorough report, including photos, within 48 hours. He was responsive to our specific questions and concerns about the property, and even drew our attention to minor cosmetic issues that we might like to repair. read more

Responsive, thorough, great service, and personable people. Highly recommended.

I unexpectedly needed a home inspection and was able to get a next-day appointment. Timely, thorough, and friendly. Highly recommended!

Bryan did a wonderful job on our home inspection! He took the time to fully explain his findings. He is very knowledgeable and professional.

Chris was so thorough and provided the most detailed pictures and descriptions, not only do we have our eyes wide open about the house in it's current condition, we know what needs to be addressed in the future as owner's, always important because issues of deferred maintenance can come back on you when selling. He was also exceedingly friendly and allowed the hubsters to tag along and explained much to him. Chris is a great reflection of this company that was prompt and quick with the report. Worth every penny but they were quite economical to boot! read more

Bryan was both knowledgeable and patient, I would definitely use his services again in the future. Highly recommend!

Answered the phone!!! Called on Monday, inspection was Thursday (only because I couldn't do Wednesday). Knows his stuff, and then some. Explained how things worked, what to do, what not to do. Left us with a handsome "Guide to Operating Your Home". Even our experienced real estate agent was impressed. Gave us a discount for not having to crawl through a crawlspace. Would not hesitate to recommend. read more

I highly recommend Optimized Inspection Services. Bryan was very thorough and covered all of his findings with us. He was also very prompt with scheduling and responding to my questions. Great service! read more

Cannot say enough. Very knowledgable and professional. The report we received was detailed and easy to understand. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

If you're looking for a home inspector, don't look any further - honestly. This guy is worth every penny and will ensure that one of the largest purchases in your life is thoroughly reviewed inside and out. Not only does he take his time, but he also spends as long as necessary reviewing his findings with you and breaking them down in layman's terms so that you completely understand what's going on in the home. This wasn't my first home purchase, so I know that I got seriously ripped off on my first home inspector experience after having Bryan perform my most recent home inspection. He's prompt, flexible with scheduling, detail oriented, quick to turn the report around, and makes himself available for questions or concerns even after he's done with the inspection and delivered the report. I could comfortably recommend him to anyone that is making a home purchase and in need of reputable inspector. read more

Bryan did a great job with my home inspection. He provided a very detailed report that included pictures of the attic and crawl space which was very helpful. He is very knowledgeable and personable, I am very happy my agent recommended him. Overall I am very pleased with my experience with Bryan and if I ever need another home inspection I know who to call! read more

He did a seattle rental registration inspection for my 24 unit building in seattle he was on time, friendly, had good knowledge of the program, and did a good job. Thanks Bryan read more

I've used Bryan's services for Seattle's RRIO program (apartment inspections). 6 sites between 2015-2016. Easy to work with and reasonable price. We'll continue to use him and I recommend him for these services. Mark Mullally MDC read more

Chris was professional, thorough, and a lot of fun to work with! He gave us a detailed report with photos that will help us with repairs/remodeling down the road. I would highly recommend him. read more

Bryan and Chris are absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend their services. Readily available, professional, and my clients enjoy working with them. read more

As first time home buyers, we were very excited and nervous about the process. We were so impressed with how quickly Bryan got us on the schedule. He was very clear about what would happen and what the process is. The day of the inspection, we could not believe how detailed and extensive the inspection was. He spent a lot of time and literally looked over every inch of the property. After he was done, he spent a lot of time going through the house with us and showing us things we would have never known to look for. He was very pleasant and very professional. He informed us that we would have the report within 24- 48 hours and we got it right on time, along with over 90 high definition photos. We will be recommending Bryan to all of our friends and family in the future. read more

Bryan did a very systematic and thorough inspection with a high quality, actionable report and awesome service. He is very responsive to questions and gives very useful answers supported by experience. Over the years he has been in many roles around the real estate business and it really shows through in how he answers questions you might have from process to finance to diy, etc. He was also super flexible in scheduling our pre-inspection on short notice. I would definitely use his services again! read more

Bryan was responsive and accurate in scheduling our inspection even though I contacted him while he was on his summer vacation. When we got closer to the inspection date he did a great job of working with our schedule to make this process as painless as possible. I would highly recommend Optimized inspection services for RRIO or pre-purchase inspections. read more

Couldn't ask for anything more! This guy knows his stuff, and was a pleasure to work with. He gave a detailed report and walked me through everything I needed, even offering to answer my questions after the inspection. read more

Bryan picked quite a few items that where missed by another inspector. He simply knows more about how a house is supposed to be put together than his competition. He does the work you are paying him to do. Very detailed and documented report. The cost to repair items is estimated at $50,000 Thanks Bryan for paying attention to the details and offering a superior service. read more

I used Optimized based on a referral from my realtor and they were as excellent as promised. Chris was my inspector and in our pre-offer inspection he gave me all the information I needed to know about the big ticket items. He went everywhere I dared not to go to see if there were problems. He was on-time, courteous and respectful to the owner of the house we are considering. I would absolutely use them again. read more

Wow-- I loved working with Bryan. He is knowledgeable, hilarious, and explains things in layman's terms for those of us that have no idea what is and isn't an actual issue. He made me feel extremely comfortable with his results by showing me exactly what he found. I will recommend everyone I know to him! read more

It was great working with Bryan. Though I haven't actually lived in the house he's inspected yet, it felt like he was not only thorough, but kind of excited to do the inspection. He answered all of my first time homebuyer questions like, "where is the tankless water heater?" or "can i put a wine fridge there?" as well as pointing out serious issues like underground plumbing issues. He was super responsive and available. Between the initial call and the report, the process took less than a week. read more

Optimized Inspection is great! Bryan came out to inspect a home on very short notice, and consistently provides top notch service. He is very personable and willing to identify issues that are not only critical to the inspection, but those which might be problems later on. He is adept at finding the smallest items that are not obvious, as well as explaining the process and pitfalls that can lurk within your home. This is the second time that I've used Optimized, and I would definitely do so again and recommend highly to others. read more

Bryan completed a pre-inspection and full-inspection for us on two properties. He was incredibly thorough and professional and was able to make the service calls on short notice. Also, he was helpful in recommending what to do for different types of remodeling. If you're looking for the perfect inspector to do your home inspection than Bryan is your man. read more

The perfect combination of fun and brass tacks. Bryan's knowledge about the greater Seattle area is very helpful when you are comparing neighborhoods and prices (he can also recommend the best restaurants). Bryan is very active in his community and you will spot him at most fundraisers cheering on his neighbors. Mostly though I appreciate Bryan's ability to look at a house and see both its potential and its warning signs. He is fair and strong in negotiations and will always give you straight truth, no bull... yet you will always leave laughing. I won't do another real estate transaction without him, I strongly recommend you don't either. read more

Bryan was referred to us by our agent and it was a good experience even given this was our first home. He has all the toys and gadgets to get the job done, and also gave us great recommendations for a plumber and electrician as we needed it. Reasonable price, and good personality. Was honest about the problems and repairs that scared us a bit, but that is what they are there for. Went through his findings a little fast, but I think he had another appointment to get to, but his report was good, and he was available for questions after. Would recommend. read more

Highly recommend! Really great inspector. Bryan was very thorough and provided us a comprehensive report in short amount of time. He helped us feel good about our home purchase and we are certain we got a solid house due to his extensive knowledge on homes and all the systems that make them up. He was like professor who taught us about all the different pieces and parts of the house, so that now that we are in we are more confident in knowing how everything works. I will definitely use him again, whether for our next purchase or even before selling so I know ahead of time what needs attention before going on the market. read more

Bryan handled the Seattle Rental Registration Inspection that I was required to deliver to the city of Seattle. He was on time, professional, provided the required reports and all at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend Optimized Inspection Services, and will continue to call him for future inspections. read more

Started using Bryan several months ago and have been very happy with his service. Bryan is a straight shooter and very fair. He's extremely responsive and get's you everything you need in a timely matter. I highly recommend using him! read more

I manage a property that was due for an inspection, and we arranged for Bryan to come out. He was extremely easy to schedule with, as well as friendly and thorough. We failed one section of the test so once we got that fixed he came back out and passed us! It was a great experience and we will use him again for any inspection needs. read more

Bryan Mize did two inspections for us - one on a very extreme fixer (which he performed on a rush on a holiday), and one on the house we ultimately bought, which was in great shape overall. In both cases he was prompt, thorough, articulate, and very accessible. His inspections are amazingly thorough. He spends enough actual time looking at stuff--we have seen other inspections that seemed rather cursory; his is definitely not! His reports are detailed, well organized, and clear, and all his comments are supported with color photos (he sent us over 100 photos of the fixer, lol). He delivers electronically so information can be in your hands within hours, if need be, and within the day routinely. His walk-through is an education in itself about how to take care of a house. He is very patient and explains why he is concerned with a particular issue, how long one might have to address it, and the consequences if one doesn't. He will gladly pay extra attention to your particular worries. He was very helpful in our decision not to move forward on the fixer; he did not tell us what to do but rather helped us really understand what we would be getting into and what we could not risk leaving undone, so that we felt confident that our decision was the best thing for our circumstances and budget. He makes a walk-through sorta fun, too, noticing and smiling over the odd little repairs or DIY projects that people do over the years that one might want to dismantle as a new owner. A nice bonus is that he is a realtor himself and can, if needed, enter a property without your realtor being there. All in all, he just gave me a lot of confidence and made the process of first-time home-buying a little less of a nail-biting experience. He is professional, intelligent, well spoken, knowledgeable, and attentive. I couldn't ask for more. We highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again. read more
