Larry Foster
Pioneering Standards in Texas Real Estate Inspections
Larry Foster is a trailblazer in the Texas real estate inspection industry. As one of the primary authors of the Texas Real Estate (TRE) Standards of Practice, Larry has played a pivotal role in shaping the protocols governing state property inspections.
His extensive experience and foresight led to the development of the state-mandated property inspection reports, which set the benchmarks for safety, compliance, and evaluation in Texas.
Today, most inspectors in Texas adhere strictly to these standards, using the inspection formats and guidelines that Larry helped to establish. However, at Foster Inspections, we go beyond the fundamentals.
Larry's approach involves a more thorough analysis and a deeper exploration of potential issues, offering our clients insights that provide real value and security.
