MEET THE TEAM

The Sterling Inspection Group was founded in 1999 in Puyallup, WA by owner and senior inspector Michael Wicklund. Michael and his team have since developed a loyal following of real estate professionals who have come to expect nothing but the best from Sterling. Our home inspection experience like no other and expect only the best from our team members. This expectation of excellence has spread to clients across the Puget Sound who continue to refer their friends our way.

While we remain constant in our ability to provide outstanding service, we also see the growing need for change as we expand our reach to the public. In 2012, we began this expansion and will continue adding superior inspectors to our team as we strive to exceed the expectations of our agents and clients across the beautiful Puget Sound.
