Russ Motyko, U.S. Army Reserve veteran and Certified Master Inspector® serving Oregon City and the Portland metro
Russ deployed to the Middle East in 2010-11 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Why This Discount Exists

From One Service Member to Another.

I've been in the Army Reserve for 17 years. In 2010, I deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I know what it's like to come home, try to plant roots, and make a major financial decision under pressure on a timeline that isn't always yours.

Military families move more than anyone. PCS orders, deployments, new duty stations. Every move is a new market, often without enough time to do it right. A bad home purchase can follow a family for years.

First responders show up in the worst moments of other people's lives. Cops, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs. They do hard work for pay that doesn't always reflect it. Same respect, same discount.

You served. You deserve a thorough Certified Master Inspector® inspection, and you deserve to pay a little less for it.

VA Loans & Home Inspections

The VA Appraisal Is Not a Home Inspection.

This is the most important thing military homebuyers need to know before closing. The VA appraisal required for your loan and a professional home inspection are two different things.

What the VA Appraisal Does NOT Do

Inspect the roof, foundation, or structural systems in detail
Test for radon, mold, or other environmental hazards
Check all mechanical systems in detail
Identify expensive repairs coming down the road
Give you negotiating power based on defects

What a Home Inspection DOES Do

Inspects 100+ items including roof, foundation, structure, and all systems
Identifies active and potential defects with thermal imaging included free
Gives you a detailed report to negotiate repairs or price
Adds radon and mold testing to screen for hidden health hazards
Gives you the full picture so you close with confidence or walk away informed

Why Military Families Need an Inspection More Than Most Buyers.

Protect Your VA Benefit

Your VA loan is one of the most valuable rewards of your service. Don't use it on a home with hidden problems you could have found before closing.

PCS Moves Are High-Pressure

Military families often buy in unfamiliar markets on tight timelines. A thorough inspection keeps you from making a rushed decision you'll regret.

Real Negotiating Power

A detailed report gives you documented leverage. Request repairs, negotiate a lower price, or ask for closing cost credits based on actual findings.

Plan for Resale

Military families often sell sooner than average. Knowing what you're buying lets you prioritize maintenance and protect resale value.

For Military & First Responder Buyers

How We Handle Common Situations.

Things that come up often when service members and first responders buy in the Portland metro.

Tight Timelines

Available 7 days a week. Same-day and next-day inspections are usually possible for buyers on a tight closing window or PCS schedule. Call or text (971) 202-1311.

Buying Remotely

Deployed or stationed elsewhere? We coordinate with your agent for access, send video walkthroughs of key findings, and review the report with you by phone.

Investment & Rental Properties

Planning to rent out the home during your next assignment? We flag issues that affect tenants and give you a clear picture of what absentee ownership will look like.

BAH and True Cost of Ownership

Your housing allowance is a fixed budget. The inspection shows you what the home will actually cost to own, including deferred maintenance and upcoming system replacements.

Radon and Mold Testing

Portland has elevated radon risk and a wet climate that makes mold common in crawlspaces and attics. Both tests qualify for the 10% discount.

Unfamiliar Local Issues

Portland has regional issues outside inspectors miss: underground oil tanks, Federal Pacific panels, CPVC plumbing, clay soil movement, and crawlspace moisture. I live and work here. I know what to look for.

The Discount
How much is the discount?
10% off all services. It applies to home inspections, radon testing, mold testing, pool inspections, and every other service we offer. See full pricing on our pricing page.
Who qualifies?
Active duty service members of all branches, veterans, reservists, National Guard, military retirees, military spouses and families, and Gold Star families. First responders also qualify: police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics. Both active and retired.
What's the military discount code?
Use code MILITARY10 when booking online, or mention your service when you call or text. The discount is applied to your invoice.
What's the first responder discount code?
Use code RESPOND10 when booking online, or mention your service when you call or text. The discount is applied to your invoice.
Does it apply to radon and mold testing too?
Yes. The 10% applies to everything: radon testing, mold testing, pool inspections, pest and dry rot, and any other service. Add-on and standalone services both qualify.
Can I combine it with other promo codes?
No. These discounts can't be combined with other promo codes. They have no expiration and are always available. They're our best standing offer.
Does it apply to new construction and warranty inspections?
Yes. The 10% applies to all inspection types, including new construction and 11-month warranty inspections. Those services have their own codes (NEWCONSTRUCTION and WARRANTY), but those can't be stacked with this discount.
Military Buyers
Does a VA loan require a home inspection?
No. The VA appraisal checks value and basic habitability. It doesn't inspect structural systems in detail, test for radon or mold, or give you negotiating leverage based on defects. A home inspection does all of that and is strongly recommended.
My spouse is active duty but I'm not. Do we qualify?
Yes. Military spouses and families qualify for the full discount. We honor the whole family's service.
Can I get an inspection while deployed or stationed elsewhere?
Yes. We coordinate with your real estate agent for access, send video walkthroughs of key findings, and go over the full report with you by phone. Book online or call (971) 202-1311.
Do you serve military families in Oregon City, Beaverton, or Vancouver, WA?
Yes. We're based in Oregon City and serve the full Portland metro and SW Washington 7 days a week. That includes Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Happy Valley, Vancouver, Camas, and Battle Ground. The discount applies wherever we inspect.

Multnomah County home inspections. Portland and the rest of Multnomah County are full of older housing stock, including 1920s craftsman bungalows in SE Portland, Pearl District lofts, and mid-century homes in NE Portland. Older homes mean knob-and-tube wiring, cast iron drains, and aging foundations. I’ve inspected hundreds of homes across Multnomah County and know exactly what to look for in each neighborhood.
