About Me

Hollander Home Inspections, LLC is owned and operated by Jared Hollander. I have been licensed to perform home inspections in New York state since 2018. My license number is 16000090033.

 

To illustrate the main reason I wanted to become a home inspector, I will share a short story. Several years ago I was living in South Central Pennsylvania and debating buying half of a duplex (I knew it was more cost effective to buy a house than to rent). I was moving through the process of getting a mortgage and buying a home when my realtor/lender recommended/required a home inspection. To my knowledge, it was a nice little house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a small attached garage that I thought to be in my price range. However, at 21 years old I did not take into consideration multiple points of the house that my home inspector pointed out to me. For example, he identified that the roof would need to be replaced soon and the furnace was nearing the end of its useful life. Any homeowner anticipates these would be very large expenses to incur. At that time, I barely had the money for a down payment, let alone the cost to put on a new roof or replace a furnace soon thereafter. Some people might criticize the home inspector for causing me not to go through with the purchase of this home. In reality, the new knowledge he provided me with allowed me to make a more responsible decision and protected me from getting into debt. For someone at a different stage in their life, they really lucked out on buying that home; but for me, just starting out, I wasn't ready to take on that kind of investment. Before having a home inspection, I didn't even know what they were. I am now thankful that I am in a position to help YOU make a more informed decision for your future!

I hold a Bachelor's degree from SUNY Potsdam, I served in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard from 2016 - 2022, and I have been an ACE certifed Personal Trainer since 2013 (I am no longer practicing). I also have started another business, Hollander Investments & Insurance, you can view my website for the business www.hollanderii.com here or contact me at Hollanderii@cambridgesecure.com

 

I look forward to meeting you and answering any other questions as we go over your new home, or before if it makes you feel more comfortable :).
