Ruehl and Southeast Inspection Services have become synonymous with quality inspections and unrivaled service in the Southeast Florida real estate market. "We're proud of the fact we have been meeting the needs of top producing Realtors® and their customers and clients in the Southeast Florida market for the past 13 years," Ruehl said. "But change is occurring in the home inspection industry much like that taking place in the real estate industry. It was obvious to us that joining with U.S. Inspect would allow us to create an even more formidable presence in our market and meet the demands of our customers and the real estate community." U.S. Inspect Chairman and CEO Keith S. Fimian said the addition of Ruehl, Mike Camera, Michael Page and Frank Pagliughi establishes immediate credibility and presence in the Southeast Florida market. "Keith and the members of his team have long demonstrated a personal commitment to customer satisfaction and have earned the respect of the real estate community," Fimian said. "You cannot build that kind of reputation overnight, so we decided at the outset that our best option for entering the Florida market - the only option - was to team with the best in the marketplace. That's what we have in Keith and the members of his team." Fimian added: "This is very exciting for us because Keith and his consultants give U.S. Inspect a solid employee-based foothold in one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the country. We look at this move as the first step in broadening our reach not only in Florida, but throughout the Southeast." Under Ruehl's leadership, the Southeast Florida Region will serve the Florida counties of Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Dade and Monroe.
