Since opening its doors in 2021, River City Home Inspections has served Jacksonville and the surrounding areas with residential and commercial inspections.
“We provide inspection services to clients who are either buying or selling a residential or commercial property,” says Wade Hosseini, owner of River City Home Inspections. “We take an in-depth look at the current condition of the property and report findings to the client so they are educated about the state of the property they are investing in.”
Wade started the company after becoming interested in home inspections while purchasing his first home in Jacksonville. “I was curious about the process and followed the home inspector around asking him questions,” he says. “I have always been fascinated with how things work and discovered that I was intrigued by the prospect of learning how to perform inspections myself. Once I found out that no two houses are the same, that each property brings something different, I was hooked.”
Wade opened River City after nearly a decade of international travel while working as global medical outreach coordinator with Hand of Hope, a Joyce Meyer Ministries world missions outreach. Hand of Hope is a humanitarian organization that provides necessities and services to underserved populations across the globe.
Then, after working in sixty-five countries, Wade was ready to return to Jacksonville, where he grew up, to plant some roots. First, he returned to the EMT training he was undertaking before he accepted Hand of Hope’s offer. “I have always loved helping others, and I wanted to become a firefighter,” he says. But, after becoming interested in home inspections, he changed course. “I struggled with doing two jobs mediocre versus one job great. I chose the home inspection business and put all of my energy into building a successful company.”
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
“My business motto is quality over quantity,” Wade shares. “I have a commitment to building genuine relationships with my clients,” he says of the River City difference. “For me, a home inspection is not just another transaction in the process of buying a home. I am a storyteller by nature, and the inspection process is where I get to tell the story of the home.”
I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO BUILDING GENUINE RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY CLIENTS.
REALTORS® love Wade’s attention to detail and his communication style.
“Our approach to business is every client receives a truly personal experience with complete attention to detail throughout the entire inspection process,” Wade says. “I am always available to answer questions clients have about anything I put in a report, no matter what time of day it is.” Wade also takes the time to explain inspection details clearly and thoroughly so buyers understand their next steps.“At the end of the day, if it is a home inspection, I know this home is where my client will lay their head at night, and I want them to feel secure that they made a good investment. Each inspection becomes personal for me, and I am as invested as my client is. I want to make sure they are making a smart investment in their future.”
River City Home Inspections brings attention to detail throughout the process. “We are not just hired to do a job and produce a report; we are hired to seek out potentially serious defects and hazards in our clients’ homes or businesses that might be invisible to the untrained eye,” Wade explains. “Knowing that each client is educated about the condition of their property and hearing that they are happy and satisfied, despite receiving a highlighted list of issues found in our report, reminds us each day that we’re doing the right thing.”
“I make myself available to answer clients’ questions before, after, and during the inspection, educating them to put all minds at ease. Being a prob lem-solver comes naturally to me, which is evident in the level of service I provide.”
AT HOME IN JACKSONVILLE
Now back at home in Jacksonville with his family nearby, Wade can stop by to visit his parents or his two sisters and their families without taking a vacation and making travel arrangements.
“We are a tight-knit family and love to spend weekends together celebrating birthdays or just hanging out by the pool,” he shares. Wade and his girl friend enjoy spending time on or near the water either searching for sharks’ teeth or fishing.
Wade also enjoys working with his hands and can sometimes be found either “restoring something old or building something new.” And, as REALTORS® and inspectors know, wild critters sometimes appear unexpectedly. Wade is prepared to handle more than raccoons and squirrels; he is also a nuisance alligator trapper.
BEING A PROBLEMSOLVER COMES NATURALLY TO ME, WHICH IS EVIDENT IN THE LEVEL OF SERVICE I PROVIDE.
