About

Kurt Stein, founder of HouseScan Inspections, earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering from Penn State University. His knack for problem solving led him to Northeast Florida to pursue a career in engineering and operations working for several large manufacturers.

After purchasing several homes in Northeast Florida, Kurt’s exposure and interest in real estate expanded, and he soon recognized a significant opportunity for improvement in the historically monotonous and unchanged home inspection industry that could benefit home buyers and realtors alike. In 2017, with a slew of improvements in mind, HouseScan Inspections was born, and Kurt has never looked back. In just a few short years, Kurt has grown HouseScan to become one of the largest and highest-rated inspection companies in Northeast Florida. Every day he looks to improve his team, systems, and processes to continue bringing the “ultimate home inspection experience” to more customers in Northeast Florida.

When Kurt isn’t busy inspecting homes and working with his team, you’ll find him on the basketball or pickleball court, organizing charity Spikeball or Poker tournaments, and spending time with his beautiful wife and Australian Sheppard, Emma. Kurt’s other passions include traveling, art, personal finance & investing, property renovations, problem solving, and business building.

Devin has always had two great passions; the outdoors and construction.  Growing up in coastal Florida with a General Contractor as a Dad provided plenty of opportunities for both.

After graduating from Georgia Southern University with a B.S. in Natural & Cultural Resource Management, Devin completed an internship with the Bureau of Land Management in California. Devin then moved to South Carolina to take on a Leadership Role with a college ministry for 5 years. He then returned to Florida and began work as a biologist for an aquatic management company.  Finally, as a home inspector Devin is able to combine his background and passions to provide unmatched service, promising each client the highest level of integrity, diligence, and expertise.  He is driven to exceed expectations and help individuals make the most informed decisions possible. With this background and mindset and consistently inspecting over 40 homes per month, Devin has solidified himself as one of the best and most thorough inspectors in Jacksonville and has since been promoted to field manager and is responsible for training of our newest inspectors.

Devin is a man of Faith, a Husband, and a Father. When he is not found on the water surfing or fishing, look for him playing volleyball on the beach, working on his house or spending time with family, friends and his pup Trident.

Daven is a Jacksonville native and after graduating from FSCJ, began his career as a Health Insurance Specialist. As a lover of God and people, Daven served and attended Church for many years until eventually joining his Church staff full-time, doing Graphic Design and Facilities Management. In 2018, Daven became licensed and certified to perform home inspections, and opened up his own company, Forever Home Inspections, doing home inspections on the side. Daven met Kurt around the same time, and they stayed in touch until they ultimately decided to join forces with Daven joining the HouseScan team in mid 2019. Daven consistently performs over 40 home inspections per month, and regularly receives high praises and reviews from his clients.

If he’s not out spending time with his wife and 4 beautiful children, you can find Daven on a disc golf course or playing flag football.

Mike is originally from Fort Myers, FL where he worked as a seasonal bartender for the several beach and country clubs in SW Florida. The country club industry allowed him to move to places like Denver, Maine, and all-around Florida in the summer. After several years managing and bartending at some of the best nightlife venues that Orlando offers, Mike settled down in Jacksonville with his girlfriend and two dogs. Before returning to bartending, Mike briefly went to work for a major insurance company in health, life, and annuities. When bartending slowed due to the pandemic, Mike decided to get his home inspection license and initially worked for a large home inspection company in the area. After a couple of years, Mike kept hearing about the incredible team culture at HouseScan Inspections and decided to make a move.

When he’s not inspecting homes, Mike enjoys walking the trails with his dogs, going to the beach, disc golf, working out, and relaxing at home.
