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 court, organizing charity Spikeball tournaments, spending time with his wife, Stephanie, and Australian Sheppard, Emma. Kurt’s other passions include traveling, art, personal finance & investing, property renovations, problem solving, and business building.

Anybody that’s met Jillian knows the professionalism, unmatched customer service, and problem solving capabilities that she brings to the table.

Jillian was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL and grew up around construction and business with her Father as a marine contractor and her Mother as a retail store manager.

In her downtime, Jillian is usually reading, working 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzles, and spending time with her husband and two dogs outdoors.

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.

Josh is a Jacksonville native who grew up around the military having lived on Mayport Naval Base for 10 years during his youth. Josh began his professional career in corrections as a corrections officer at an Immigration prison, where he was also a firearms instructor. During this time, he also proudly served our country as an active duty member in the Marine Corps reserves. In these roles, a high attention to detail and effective communication were critical, which has helped Josh easily transition and become an incredible home inspector, now performing over 40 inspections per month. Josh leads our company in inspections for military personnel and veterans, where we gladly provide a discount of $25 off.

Josh recently welcomed his daughter into the world and now has another on the way. When Josh isn’t hanging out with his wife, daughter, and two dogs, you’ll find him either in the outdoors, working out, or hitting the streets on his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

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 now 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.
