In this episode of The Current by TreasureCoast.com, we sit down with Devon Morante, owner of DBJ Home Inspections and JL Environmental. With over a decade of experience in Florida’s inspection industry, Morante shares practical advice for homeowners, buyers, and even renters across the Treasure Coast.

We explore what to look out for in both older and newly built homes, how insurance reports can affect real estate deals, and which red flags may be less concerning than they seem. From cast iron plumbing and outdated electrical panels to new construction oversights like missing insulation and ductwork errors, Devon breaks down the realities of Florida housing with technical clarity and real-world insight.

We also discuss the challenges of living on the coast, including salt air damage to AC systems, and why even brand-new homes should always be inspected. If you live in Florida, plan to buy, or work in real estate, this episode delivers an honest look at what home inspections can uncover and how to approach them with confidence.
