About Magnum Property Inspections
Ken and Lisa founded Magnum Property Inspection in 1999 with a simple goal: to help
people feel confident and informed when making one of the biggest decisions of their
lives — buying a home. What began as a small family-run business quickly grew
through word-of-mouth, built on trust, honesty, and a genuine commitment to treating
every client like a neighbor.
Our History
- Over the past 25+ years, Ken has inspected thousands of homes, earning a reputation
not just for being thorough, but for taking the time to patiently explain findings in a clear,
practical way. Clients often say they appreciate his calm, down-to-earth style and the
sense that he truly cares about protecting their investment and safety.
Ken’s dedication to the profession goes far beyond the inspection itself. He has earned
the highest credentials in the industry, including CREIA Certified Inspector (CCI)
through the California Real Estate Inspection Association and ASHI Certified Inspector
(ACI) through the American Society of Home Inspectors. Both of which require passing
a rigorous proctored test and annual continuing education.
He has also spent many years volunteering in leadership roles, helping shape
standards, mentoring inspectors, and advocating for consumers. Throughout his
career, Ken has also demonstrated strong leadership and commitment to advancing the
inspection profession.
Today, Ken continues to run Magnum Property Inspection with the same values he and
Lisa started with — integrity, service, and the belief that every client deserves clear
information, honest guidance, and peace of mind.
