Buying a home in the Quad Cities? You deserve to know exactly what you're walking into before you sign anything. I'm Chase Owen, a certified InterNACHI home inspector and the owner of HOI Property Services. With 12+ years of real estate experience and a 5.0-star Google rating, I provide thorough, no-pressure home inspections across Rock Island, Moline, East Moline, Silvis, and the surrounding Illinois Quad Cities communities.
Whether you're a first-time buyer eyeing a craftsman bungalow near Augustana College, a John Deere or Rock Island Arsenal employee relocating to Moline, an Augustana student-housing investor, or a returning resident downsizing into a mid-century brick ranch in Rock Island's Hilltop neighborhood, I'll give you a clear, honest picture of the property's condition — so you can negotiate confidently and close with peace of mind.
The Quad Cities has one of the most varied housing stocks in Illinois — Italianate and Queen Anne homes built during the 19th-century riverboat era in Rock Island's Hilltop and Broadway historic districts, prairie-style and craftsman bungalows around Augustana College, mid-century ranches throughout Moline and East Moline tied to the John Deere expansion years, and post-2000 builds in Silvis, Milan, and Coal Valley. Each era brings its own inspection priorities, and after years of inspecting homes across western Illinois, I know what to focus on:
Every inspection I perform follows the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and includes a comprehensive review of:
You'll receive a detailed digital report — typically delivered the same day — with photos, concise findings, and clear repair recommendations.
Beyond the standard home inspection, I offer specialized testing that's especially relevant along the Mississippi River corridor:
Radon testing — Rock Island County and most of the Illinois Quad Cities falls in radon Zone 1 (highest EPA risk). I provide certified continuous-monitor radon testing using calibrated Breeze monitors.
Mold testing — Quad Cities' humid Mississippi-valley summers — combined with seasonal river flooding — can lead to hidden mold growth in older basements and crawl spaces. I send samples to PriorityLab (directed by Dr. John Shane, PhD) for AIHA-accredited analysis.
Particle ID / air quality testing — If you suspect indoor air quality issues, I can collect samples and identify airborne particulates, allergens, and contamination sources.
I serve the entire Illinois Quad Cities and surrounding Rock Island, Henry, and Mercer Counties, including:
Rock Island · Moline · East Moline · Silvis · Milan · Coal Valley · Hampton · Port Byron · Rapids City · Geneseo · Kewanee · Cambridge · Aledo · Viola
If you're outside this area but in western, central, or northern Illinois, contact me directly — I cover a multi-county service area and am happy to discuss travel for your inspection.
