This company is fabulous on every level. As a new player in the home buying game, his professional and friendly expertise was super reassuring. On time, thorough, great tech and follow up as well as engaging onsite demeanor. This guy comes prepared and knows his business. Highly recommend. Don't look anywhere else. Call him today. I am very grateful for his work and have a terrific guide to follow for future projects. read more

I'm in the real estate business so I've seen a lot of inspectors but when I bought a house for myself there was no question who I would use: Dean Nielsen. Dean is knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and plain-speaking. His report is comprehensive pointing out not only significant problems, but also minor repairs that could make a big difference down the road. If you use anyone other than Dean you're doing yourself a disservice. read more

We had a great experience with Dean! We bought our home in 2020 when the market was hot, and as a result, decided to forego the home inspection in order to close on the house. Fast forward three years later and we figured we should probably do the inspection, better late than never right? His rates were comparable or lower than other 5-star businesses that I researched. Not only was he timely with his responses (even during the week of Thanksgiving), but he also showed up when he said he would. He was very kind and patiently explained the process to me, a first-time homeowner. He was efficient and very thorough and was able to go through our 1600 sq ft single-family home in 1.5-2 hours. At the end of the inspection, he summarized his findings and gave his recommendations on the repairs that should take priority. He sent over a detailed report a few days later that included pictures and descriptions of the things to watch out for and what should be repaired sooner than later. It was a pleasure working with Titus Inspections and would recommend Dean to anyone looking for a home inspection by someone they can trust. read more

Did a great job inspecting a condo I was purchasing. They did miss two things that I had to point out: Cracked window (hidden by film) Crack in granite/cabinet After I pointed that out they included them in the report. They also found a ton of things I never would have noticed. They followed up with notes and photographs of everything too. I'd use them again! read more

A great inspector - thorough, experienced and knowledgeable. His report was very detailed and helpful. Thank you!

Dean, the owner of Titus, helped us do a home inspection on a condominium unit in Playa Del Rey. He was super responsive & easy to work with. Highly recommended! read more

Great inspector. We used him twice for two different properties we were trying to buy, and his inspection was thorough. He took the time to really go over everything and gave us his report within 2-3 days. Would recommend and use again! read more

Our agent recommended Dean after the inspector we were going to use for our first home purchase canceled last minute. We feel very fortunate this happened as Dean's inspection and documentation were excellent, and his written report was actually more thorough than the other inspectors we evaluated, including the one we were planning to use! During the actual inspection Dean was punctual, friendly, explained things in detail, gave me the opportunity to ask questions, and provided clear, actionable answers, helping us better understand the nuances of our nearly 100 year old home. We feel much better prepared to take care of the property as a result. Would highly recommend Dean to anyone needing a home inspection! read more

Dean, the owner of Titus Inspections, did a fantastic job inspecting the home that I was considering purchasing in Redondo Beach. His report was very thorough, and extremely detailed. The photographs are clearly labeled and annotated. He even crawled through the hard-to-access areas of the home. I was very impressed. I highly recommend his company. read more

Dean was timely, thorough, helpful, with his robot inspection solution and making a decision whether more work was needed on the issue or not. It saves me a lot of money and time worrying about it. Would use Titus again. read more

Great company to work with. Efficient and timely. Excellent communication: highly recommend

Fair pricing, great communication, great post inspection report, open for questions after report.

Very thorough inspection and prompt delivery of report at a fair price. I would highly recommend Titus Inspections to anyone looking to purchase a home. Thanks Dean! read more

This review is for customer service and response time. Due to Dean being so busy, I was unable to use him for my home inspection as I wanted one NOW!.... But I appreciate his super quick response time and professional courtesy. I messaged him via Yelp and made an appointment within 30 minutes on a Sunday. It was for 5 days later. I found another excellent inspector that could fit me in earlier, so I cancelled my appointment. However, I would have felt comfortable with Dean. FYI-Dean quoted me $250 less than I paid for my other inspector on a 2500 s.f. house! Also, Dean was super nice when I cancelled. read more

Dean was a wonderful inspector. He is incredibly thorough and helpful with great tools to conduct a very thorough home inspection. He is professional, prompt, and incredibly helpful. We are so happy our agent recommended him. As first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect, and Dean walked us through the inspection in a very easy to understand and helpful manner, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We would highly recommend him! read more

Dean from Titus Inspections helped us with a home inspection during escrow. We were very impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. This is not my first time in escrow, but it was my first time experiencing such a thorough and detailed home inspection. Dean did it all, and he uses special tools to measure each aspect of the home's function. He answered all our questions before, during, and after his visit. The inspection report he provides is very comprehensive with photos and descriptions. His website is awesome and allows you to easily transcribe his findings into a buyers request for repairs. I would highly recommend Titus Inspections for your home purchase or any inspection needs! read more

Dean is such an honest person! I emailed 6 different companies via yelp to ask about a structural wall. Most of the replies were trying to sell me on a full inspection or other services. Dean was the only one that gave me great advice. He never tried to sell me anything! Just his honest opinion and great tips! Very rare does this ever happen. Everyone is always trying to make a quick buck. Highly recommend! read more

We needed an inspection on the house we were looking to buy in the South Bay. Dean was referred to us by a friend. It was easy to set up an appointment. As a matter of fact, he was able to come out the very next day! Because my husband and I couldn't be there, he met our agent. That evening we received the full home inspection via email. I couldn't believe how fast the turnaround time was. The inspection was very thorough and he was able to answer all our questions and go into greater detail over the phone. I highly recommend Dean for your home inspection. He is professional, reliable and knowledgeable. read more

Titus Inspection = Excellence. 1. Respect and honor through out the whole process to the client, the tenant and the property. (...and the tenant's dog) 2. Time efficient. We were told the inspection could take 2 to 3 hours. Mr. Nielson did a lot of preparations to minimize the amount of time of disruption to the occupants. The tenant told us he was on the property for about an hour and a half. Most of the work Mr. Nielson did not distrub the occupants. 3. Magnificent report with detailed pictures! The report was easy to read, follow and understand. He backed up all his concerns, evaluations and recommendations with clear pictures. We were all impressed with every aspect of Titus Inspection. read more

This review is for Dean over at Titus. I was referred to him by my real estate agent as I had just purchased a home . From the beginning to the end Dean was extremely knowledgeable and approachable. I had a ton of questions and he was patient throughout the process. A couple days later, he generated a comprehensive report that was emailed to me complete with pictures and diagrams. I highly recommend Dean and will most definitely be working with him again. read more

Dean is great. He came out to inspect a property on short notice and was able to spot a lot of different issues. He spent a good amount of time answering any questions I had throughout the entire inspection process. I would highly recommended him. read more

Great guy, easy to work with, professional, knowledgeable, clean, efficient, and a very good work product at the end. He explained everything so I fully understood it, and then created a very good and detailed report. As a formerly active Realtor, I've seen many of these, and his was the best organized, and most complete report I've seen. I highly recommend him. You'll be very happy. read more

Dean did a very thorough inspection on a home we're about to purchase. Everything was well documented with photos and recommendations. He also honored a lower price that he quoted me after realizing he should have had a higher price. Would use him again! read more

Thank you to Dean at Titus Inspections for the excellent service and thorough home inspection. Dean really takes his time explaining to his customers, and is also great at responding to follow up emails and phone calls if they come up later. You often hear "Call us if you have any more questions", but Dean really means it which is so appreciated. Home Inspection time is stressful, especially if it's part of an escrow situation, and having a responsive vendor who gets back to you quickly is literally relieving some of the anxiety. As to accuracy of the inspection itself, I know NOTHING about this stuff so I am trusting that he is right. Based on the thorough explanations and lengthy conversation we had during the inspection, I have every faith in his work. Our inspection went longer than scheduled because my husband and I knew so little and had so many questions, but Dean was patient and determined to answer everything and put us as ease with the process. BTW Here's a little tip when checking out Yelp reviews. Don't just look at the average star rating, look at who is writing the reviews. If the reviews are coming only from Yelpers with no profile pic, no "friends" and no other reviews, they are likely "fake" meaning the profile was created just to write the review, as a favor to or even by the company itself making a bunch of fake profiles. Titus has a very high yelp rating, which is awesome, but even more awesome as that their reviews are written by real people-- even some Elite yelpers. These peeps were so impressed by Dean and Titus they've taken time out to thank him with a review. Pretty impressive. Keep up the great work Dean! read more

We were referred to Titus Inspections and could not have been happier about our experience. Our inspector Dean was quickly responsive, punctual, and extremely thorough in his report. On his site visit, he was very professional yet easy to talk to and approach with questions. We had many questions about the inspection report and he always happily followed up with us. I have found this to be rare in the construction industry. If you are a buyer in escrow on a home, I highly recommend Dean. He works hard for his clients and will not miss a problem. He unveiled major hidden problems that were instrumental in us getting a massive discount on our "as is" home purchase. read more

Titus Home Inspections is my go to for Los Angeles properties. Dean is very good at what he does and has helped me feel confident about my investments. Highly recommended! read more

Dean is very timely and Informative! He did a good and thorough inspection on 2 homes I was looking to purchase. Did I mention I was also referred to him from 2 different friends at different times. Will definitely be using dean and Titus inspections again!! Thank you! read more

I used Titus for inspecting a house while we are in escrow. Dean was very detailed in his report and more than happy to answer all of my questions. Would definitely recommend to others for some ease of mind and a great inspection. Thank you! read more

Quality service. Even better than that, he is a really high quality person. I will never recommend another Home Inspector.

I requested a quote from Titus Inspection through Yelp and received a very prompt response with a reasonable price estimate. Dean arrived on time and was very courteous. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. His inspection report was sent very quickly (a day later) and it was comprehensive and well-written. We requested the inspection as a health-check on our house. Dean's inspection was non-invasive but very thorough. He used a robot to access and see hard-to-access areas. His inspection report included pictures where warranted and informed us of many minor issues that we were not aware of but which we plan to reconcile. On top of all that, his inspection price was very reasonable, as quoted. We would recommend Dean to all of our friends. read more

Can't recommend Dean at Titus Inspections enough, he came and inspected our house this morning, what a really great guy, fair, knowledgeable, personable and thorough, gave great advice and went over everything with us, can't praise the lovely Dean enough! read more

Great service. Very detailed inspection. Complete report done same day. Will highly refer Dean from Titus Inspection to friends and family.

Dean is such a pleasure to work with. He is always on time and he never wastes your time. He is so efficient and thorough with his work, yet he is able and willing to slow down and explain things to buyers and answer any and all questions. I highly recommend him especially because of his character, intellect, and his trustworthiness. I have used him in the past and will continue to use him as long as he is in business. Thanks, Dean! read more

Dean was outstanding. He was super flexible to our schedule. He came out on a Saturday so I can be present for the inspection. While some inspectors might try to fit an inspection in a certain block of time, he took his time and meticulously went over every aspect of the house. From the roof, in the attic, to crawling in the dirt under the house. Not only was he on time but was early to walk the property line. He even talked with the sellers before they left and got some background info on work they have done. He let me tail him around the house as he looked it over and explained what particular things he was looking for. He gives it to you straight and tells you the good and bad of it all. I highly recommend him to any potential home buyers out there. read more

We selected Dean as our home inspector because a lot of people in the area highly recommended him. He fee was very reasonable and lower than a couple of others I called. His inspection was incredibly thorough and he was easy to reach whenever I had questions. The report was great because Dean had photos along with a description for everything he observed. He made his finding easy to understand for people without a construction background. I highly recommend him. read more

Dean from Titus Inspections recently come out to a property I purchased and he was extremely knowledgable and honest, and I wouldn't have it any other way. He got right to it and explained every detail of the inspection. As a first time home buyer I was nervous but he calmed my nerves by verbally explaining everything he encountered and he addressed all my concerns. Dean did a fantastic job and I would use and recommend his services again without hesitation. Great work! I am very happy with the inspection. read more

Dean completed a home inspection for me and I am so grateful for his thorough work and very calm, honest advice. This was for a first-time home purchase for my husband and me, and we were very uncertain about many issues with the house. Dean was very easy to talk to, addressed each of our questions clearly and in terms we understood, and presented a very fair and unbiased report (we he sent over later that day!) at the conclusion of his inspection. The whole process of buying a home is very stressful, and I was quite nervous about whether or not I would be able to trust the home inspector. As soon as I met Dean, I knew he would give us a clear picture of the issues - good and bad - with the house, and I greatly appreciate his time and high quality work!! I highly, highly recommend hiring Titus Inspections for your future home inspections. Thank you, Dean! read more

Great service and communication. Trustworthy and reliable. Dean is very detail oriented and makes sure to check even the most minute details. Will be using Dean again for future properties. read more

Dean was great in our first home inspection. He is very thorough and well spoken and knowledgeable in his field. Best of all, he did not try to upsell us on any inspections we did not likely need. I have already recommended him to other friends and will continue doing so in the future. Many Thanks! read more

Dean is awesome. Had questions regarding home condensation issues and he really did a great job discussing possible causes and solutions when several other people I contacted could not. Knowledgeable, friendly, and great communication skills. Highly recommended. read more
