Your FPI Inspector
Matt Geren
CMI® · MASTER INSPECTOR
CENTRAL NCMatt Geren holds the Certified Master Inspector® designation (InterNACHI ID NACHI21032824), the highest credential in the home inspection industry, with more than 1,000 inspections and training hours behind it. He covers Cary and the surrounding counties from FPI's Goldsboro base. Buyers get a plain-language walkthrough on site and a written report the same day.

Due-diligence windows are short. FPI performs the full inspection stack in-house, so your buyer books one appointment and gets one report.

New Construction in Cary, Apex and Holly Springs
Western Wake is one of the busiest new-construction corridors in the state, and a builder’s own walkthrough is not an independent inspection. FPI inspects at three points: pre-drywall, when framing, flashing and rough plumbing and electrical are still visible; final walkthrough, before you sign; and the 11-month warranty inspection, before the builder’s one-year warranty runs out. On resale homes built from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, we also check for polybutylene supply plumbing and the original builder-grade windows and HVAC, which are common findings in Cary and Apex subdivisions of that era.
