Nathan West, Professional Home Inspector

Nathan is a lifetime home enthusiast who spent the last 15 years flipping and rehabbing homes and condos from Pennsylvania to Texas. During that time he also worked as a television news video journalist for all the major networks and sports outlets, earning numerous Associated Press, National Press Photographer’s Association, and Emmy awards for his work. Making the switch from TV to home inspections was easy, since both require a high attention to detail and strong observation skills.

When he isn’t inspecting, Nathan spends time building Lego® projects with his son and chasing his two daughters around. His wife, who also works in news as well as teaching journalism at The University of Texas, has been instrumental in helping him attain his true dream job.
