Meet Your Inspector

Matt Enderlin

"I started Royal Palm Home Inspections because I believe every buyer deserves a trusted advocate — someone who walks through a home with you, explains what they find in plain English, and helps you make a confident decision."

Born and raised in the Tampa Bay area, I've spent over a decade inspecting homes across Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough, and Manatee counties. Florida's climate presents unique challenges — from hurricane-rated roofing and wind mitigation to moisture intrusion and aging electrical systems — and I know exactly what to look for.

Every inspection I perform is thorough, unbiased, and backed by a detailed digital report delivered within 24 hours. I'm not here to kill deals — I'm here to make sure you know exactly what you're buying.

What Tampa Bay Buyers Say

5.0 average · 80+ reviews

"Marcus was incredibly thorough and explained everything in plain English. He found issues the seller had no idea about. Worth every penny — saved us thousands in negotiations."

Jennifer M.

St. Petersburg, FL

"We were first-time buyers and Marcus made the whole process so much less stressful. He walked us through the entire house, answered every question, and had the report in our inbox by morning."

D

David & Carla T.

Clearwater, FL

"Used Royal Palm for a pre-listing inspection before selling our home. Identified a few items we fixed before listing — our house sold faster and at asking price. Highly recommend."
