Falcon is a client-centric property inspection company. We have conducted thousands of inspections on every type of residential property over the past two decades.
METHODOLOGY
Falcon is a second-generation family-owned business. As a father and son team we encompass more than two decades of property inspection experience. During that time, we have never wavered from our singular goal: To provide our clients with the best information about the properties that we inspect. Our proprietary methodology, superior credentials and training, diverse experience and excellent communication skills ensure that we meet this goal on every inspection.
We use infrared thermography on every inspection. As experienced thermographers, we provide clients with information about anomalies that may not be seen by the naked eye. This might include leaks under sinks or at washing machine supply boxes; cooling, heating and distribution vent performance; and operating temperatures of circuit breakers, blower motors, pool pumps and other equipment.
Our high-value approach includes verbal and written reports that exceed the State of Arizona and American Society of Home Inspectors Standards of Practice. We include both color and infrared digital photos (we take roughly 50,000 photos every year).
We meld this verbal summary with an incomparable written report. The report includes an easy to read, concise summary that is organized by importance of defects, includes specific numerical reference to the main report and includes color digital photos. This makes it easy for real estate agents to produce the BINSR (Buyer’s Notification and Seller’s Response) document.

Testimonials
John and Greg Elson have been my go-to home inspectors for many years. There
are multiple reasons for this. They are extremely thorough, and that being
said, they easily navigate through the process by clearly explaining what is
truly important. They treat my clients with the utmost courtesy and respect
while keeping a wonderfully wicked sense of humor when appropriate. They
handle difficult situations with kid gloves. By doing so, they have saved
many clients heartache and dollars, but never stepping over the line. On the
flip-side, they easily explain to novice and seasoned buyers alike the
priorities that have emerged from the inspection. After the inspection,
they are always accessible to talk with me or my clients if we have
further questions or need clarification. You can’t ask for more than that
from any inspector. I can wholeheartedly recommend Falcon Property Inspection without question!

Over the last 13 years, I’ve worked with John and Greg too many times to count!! They are my GO-TO inspectors in Maricopa county. They know houses- inside and out from the simplest fix, to major repairs. I’m confident in their ability to help my buyers find the problems that exist within a home and their suggestions for repairs. Easy to understand, their online PDF inspection reports make creating my BINSR easy. I would recommend Falcon Property Inspection to every Realtor in AZ
Sara Jocelyn
By far the best experience I’ve had with an inspection company! I will definitely recommend this father/son duo to ALL my current & future clients! If you’re looking for a high quality, thorough inspection, with outstanding service, then seriously look no further– they definitely take care of the customer! They’re both very knowledgeable in all areas of inspection, took the time to go over everything in detail, and were more than happy to answer any questions. They certainly went above and beyond what we had expected, so we are absolutely thankful for their services! Super nice guys too! 🙂 Highly recommend!

As an active Licensed Realtor in Idaho & Arizona, one of the biggest decisions I can make or influence within any buying transaction is the selection or suggestion (short list) of a licensed Home Inspection professional. John and Greg Elson are at the top of my list every time as the unsurpassed competency and execution have always delivered spot-on analysis for the most demanding of clients and the most challenging of homes. Clear, detailed communication and the willingness to go beyond and be available for follow up calls and questions has me putting the very sensitive BINSR process in the best hands that I can, so that is Falcon Property Inspection!

John Elson and his son went above and beyond for our home inspection. They did an exceptionally thorough job on our home inspection and answered every one of our questions. He made sure every base was covered and was even great with our two toddlers (he gave them miniature flashlights which totally made their day). If you are in need of a home inspection this is the guy to call.

I would never dream of buying a house without consulting John Elson, the owner of Falcon Property Inspection. I have used him twice, he is worth his reasonable fee 10 times over. He will help you know the property issues from minor to major, and he has a keen eye. Knowledge is power for your own peace of mind, and being able to negotiate with the sellers for reasonable recourse on issues. John, was on time, and you will end up with a very professional written report right when promised. John’s communication skills are superb, he gives you a very thorough debrief in terms tailored to your structural and home system knowledge. He is very patient with questions. He does not rush the inspection, or the debrief time. I wish I could give 6 stars, he and his company are that great!
