Home Buyer Education
Everything you need to know to not buy broke!
Our vision is to be the first source for information about protecting homes and families. We want to replace fear and guesswork with understanding and confidence in your home buying process.
With his extensive experience as an engineer, inspector, author, and homeowner (among other things), Garth takes you on a journey to build the knowledge and understanding you need to make a smart choice in your search for a new home. From the truth about household hazards, to the lending and borrowing process of buying a home, we've got you covered!
Inspector Training
Did you know that there is no required training or licensing for home inspectors in Utah?!
Yeah... crazy, right? That's what we thought! Hence, the HomeMedic Inspector training program was born. With Garth's background and experience in engineering and inspections, he has created a training program that sets a high bar for inspectors.
Using a HomeMedic certified inspector gives clients the confidence and knowledge they need to make that lifechanging step of buying a home that much easier.

Meet the Team
Garth Haslem
Garth Haslem graduated from BYU with a civil engineering degree and a master’s degree in 1985. He worked in the environmental and construction engineering sectors for eight years, then started as a home inspector in 1993.
As a licensed civil and structural engineer, Garth had a hand up. He found the service to be a good match, as he gets to wear levis and tennis shoes, work outside the office, and not report to a boss (other than his wife, who will always and forever be the boss). Doing home inspections also allows his passion for ultimate frisbee.
During one of his inspections, he met an individual who recommended that he write articles on his experience. Since that time Garth has become one of the most successful non-employee writers for KSL.com, Deseret News, and other news outlets. He has published over 40 stories with a total of over 500,000 clicks.
Garth has published four books. The first of these reflects Garth’s passion for customer service and is titled “Creating Passionate Customers”. The others deal with real estate and home inspection issues. Those titles are “The Home Maintenance Guide”, “The Home Buyer’s Guide” and the “Household Hazards Handbook”. They are available on Amazon.com.
Those publications got the ball rolling. Since that time Garth has worked extensively on a youtube collection, and was featured on KSL radio as The Home Medic. More recently, he has prepared a podcast collection and youtube library. These provide guidance to homeowners worldwide on how to “Keep your money in your wallet and your family out of the hospital”.
Since 1993, Garth has learned that in most home related issues, the homeowner has a choice: If you do the right thing in time, the cost of the task is generally inexpensive. He calls that “The $10 Fix.” On the other hand, when a homeowner doesn’t know what to do, or doesn’t do the right thing, the repair can be more like $10,000. That’s The “$10,000 fix.” Sometimes the cost of the $10,000 fix can be much greater. It cost one of his friends over $500,000. For others, the price can be a trip to the hospital – or sometimes it can be the morgue. These are the kinds of things that we help you to avoid.
