More Than Just a Report.
A Roadmap to Your New Home.
Hi, I’m Nick Markevich, the owner and lead inspector at iQ Living Solutions.
Buying a home is one of the most stressful, expensive, and emotional experiences in life. I know because I’ve been there. My goal isn't just to hand you a checklist of defects; it’s to give you the clarity and confidence to make a smart decision.
I believe that every home has a story to tell. Some stories are about great maintenance and solid bones; others are about hidden leaks and aging systems. My job is to translate that story for you, plain and simple.
The "iQ" in my business name stands for my approach: Intelligent, Quality Inspections.
Home inspection isn't just about looking around; it's about analyzing data. Whether I am measuring radon levels, scoping a sewer line, or evaluating a crawlspace, I use modern technology and a systematic process to gather facts.
But data is useless if you can't understand it. I pride myself on being an educator first. I don't use scary jargon to alarm you. Instead, I explain what the issue is, why it matters, and how it can be solved.
My Promise to You
I work for you, not the real estate agent. My loyalty is to your best interest.
I treat every home as if my own family were going to live there. I go into the dark, wet crawlspaces and the hot attics so you don’t have to.
My job doesn't end when I send the report. I am available to answer your questions days or weeks after the inspection.
I am proud to call the Pacific Northwest home. I understand the unique challenges our homes face here — from the relentless rain that tests our roofs to the soil conditions that affect our foundations.
When I’m not inspecting homes in Vancouver or Portland, you will likely find me exploring the outdoors. I’m an avid camper and love discovering new spots in the Cascades and along the coast. I’m also a bit of a coffee enthusiast — always chasing that perfect espresso shot to start the day.
This connection to our region drives my passion for ensuring your home is safe, dry, and ready for whatever the PNW weather throws at it.
