When it comes to buying or selling a home, few things are as important—or as nerve-wracking—as the inspection. That’s where Phillips Property Inspections, led by longtime local and inspection expert Scott Phillips, brings peace of mind and unmatched professionalism to the table.

Based in Dripping Springs, Phillips Property Inspections is a full-service home inspection company serving clients for over 18 years. From new builds to resale homes, their service area stretches from Georgetown to San Antonio and from Marble Falls to Bastrop—with deep roots right here in the Hill Country.

The Backstory

Scott’s journey into home inspections began in 2003. After working in construction, remodeling, and owning a garage door business, he and his wife purchased their first home. The inspection experience? Underwhelming. “He was a retired engineer, very knowledgeable—but he didn’t present the information well,” Scott recalls. “I walked out of that inspection and said, ‘I could do better than that.’” And he has.

What Sets Phillips Property Inspections Apart

With two decades of experience, Scott has developed a communication style that demystifies even the most technical findings. His reports are clear, easy to understand, and geared toward both first-time homebuyers and seasoned investors. Clients are always invited to join him for a post-inspection review, and he’s known to take as much time as needed to ensure they feel confident in the findings and next steps.

Scott adds, “I’m not the cheapest inspector in town—and that’s okay. I go the extra mile, and my clients notice. That might mean taking a late-night call with an out-of-state buyer, answering questions months after the inspection, or working a weekend or holiday to meet a deadline.”

A Success Story That Says It All

One recent client—a high-tech engineer—was out of town and running out of time in his option period. Scott completed the inspection and jumped on a detailed call that same night, going through the report–line by line–until 12:45 a.m. The result? A happy client, a smooth transaction, and a five-star Google review.

Local Living Meets Local Expertise

Scott doesn’t just inspect rural properties—he lives on one. With a home that includes acreage, a well, septic system, pool, and barn animals, he brings real-life experience to the table. “These are my people,” he says of the Dripping Springs community. “I can speak from experience when giving advice about repairs and maintenance.”

He’s also active in the community, contributing his time and talents to the Dripping Springs Lions Club, the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce Leadership Group, and serving on the Founders Day Festival Commission to help organize the city’s largest annual event.

Why Dripping Springs Elite Real Estate Professionals? Why Now?

“Most of my business has historically been in the Austin metro, but now I’m looking to expand right here in my own backyard,” says Scott. “I’ve heard the names of the agents in DS Elite for years, and I’d love to be a trusted partner in providing a great experience for anyone buying or selling a home in this community.”

Off the Clock

When Scott’s not in inspection mode, he and his wife are hitting the trails at Dripping Springs Ranch Park or Reimers Ranch. Their love for horses and the outdoors fuels their downtime and strengthens their local ties.

Advice from the Expert

Scott’s advice for anyone choosing a home inspector? “Focus on experience and client reviews over cost. Reports may look similar on paper, but it’s the inspector’s real-world experience and commitment to service that makes all the difference.”
