Colin Craig
Owner & Lead Inspector
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in custom renovations, new builds, and residential construction, Colin brings a depth of knowledge that sets HomeWise apart. He doesn't just inspect homes — he understands how they're built from the foundation up, what can go wrong, and what matters most when you're making one of life's biggest decisions.
Colin is also a licensed Alberta REALTOR®, which gives him a rare dual perspective: he sees the inspection through both a builder's eye and a real estate lens. That means he understands how inspection findings can affect pricing, negotiations, conditions, and closing timelines — and he reports with the clarity you and your agent need to move forward with confidence.
His construction background means he can identify issues that others might miss, explain whether something is a maintenance item or a serious concern, and help you prioritize next steps. Colin is committed to providing honest, thorough inspections that give you a clear picture of your property's condition.
