Insider Weekly has announced Old GOAT Home Inspections as the recipient of its Best Home Inspection Company award, recognizing the veteran-owned business for its exceptional service and attention to detail in the Washington State home inspection market.
The company, established in 2022 by David Brockmeyer following his 21-year career in the U.S. Navy, has quickly distinguished itself in the competitive home inspection industry. Brockmeyer, who served as an Aviation Electronics Technician working on F-18 Super Hornets and as a Master-at-Arms while holding Top Secret clearance, brings military precision to every inspection.
“Purchasing a home is the largest purchase most people will ever make,” the company emphasizes in its approach to client service. “Having a detailed report not only allows them to make an informed decision, but can put their fears to rest as they know what they are getting into.”
The award comes as Old GOAT Home Inspections continues to expand its reach across Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson, and Pierce counties. The company offers comprehensive services including buyer, seller, maintenance, new construction, and 11-month warranty inspections, along with specialized testing for sewer scopes, indoor air quality, well flow, water quality, and radon.
In 2024, the company strengthened its team by bringing aboard Leon Griffin, another Navy veteran who served 23 years as a Machinist Mate, Nuclear Power. Both inspectors maintain InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector credentials and continuously update their knowledge on industry trends.
The business has earned particular recognition for its approach to first-time home buyers. Their inspectors take additional time during inspections to educate clients about their potential homes and necessary maintenance, acknowledging that “many things in an inspection report read scarier than they are in real life.”
Technology plays a crucial role in their service delivery. Clients can schedule inspections and receive quotes online through their website, and detailed reports featuring high-quality photos and videos are delivered within 24 hours of inspection. All real estate transaction inspections come backed by InterNACHI’s Buy Back Guarantee.
The military background of both founders has proven invaluable in building the business. Years of conducting inspections and training personnel in the Navy, combined with the exceptional attention to detail required in military service, have translated directly into comprehensive home inspection services that clients have come to trust.
Old GOAT Home Inspections stands out in Washington State’s home inspection market not just for its technical expertise, but for its commitment to client education and peace of mind. As they continue expanding their market presence, the company maintains its core belief that clients deserve to know as much as possible about their potential homes.
This recognition from Insider Weekly underscores the company’s rapid rise in the industry since its founding just two years ago. With their combination of military precision, advanced technology, and genuine care for client needs, Old GOAT Home Inspections has established itself as a trusted name in Washington State home inspections.
