Philippe Heller started the company in 2004 after a really poor home inspection on his own house. He decided he could do better. Working for SDG&E, GE Power Systems, Cox Communications, and Time Warner Communications gave Philippe a strong base in technology, quality, and customer service. He applied his background in technology to the inspection industry and built an innovative, industry-leading company.

What started as The San Diego Real Estate Inspection Company has changed to The Real Estate Inspection Company after expanding to Temecula and South Orange County. The Real Estate Inspection Company now inspects more than $3 billion worth of real estate every year. That level of experience is unmatched in Southern California.
