QUALIFICATIONS
InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector CPI®
I am a Certified Professional Inspector (CPI®), having passed the InterNACHI Inspector Exam. I strictly adhere to the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics established by InterNACHI. I hold myself to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in providing home inspection services. As part of my commitment to excellence, I maintain my CPI® status with yearly courses and ongoing education. My goal is to make your home inspection experience as stress-free and informative as possible.
TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED
Our inspectors are Certified Professional Inspectors CPI® trained by InterNACHI—the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (www.NACHI.org)—which is the world's largest nonprofit association of residential and commercial property inspectors that provides education, training, and certification.
All InterNACHI-Certified Professional Inspectors CPI® are required to pass an Inspector Exam, follow a comprehensive Standards of Practice, abide by a strict Code of Ethics, and take accredited Continuing Education courses each year in order to maintain their membership in good standing.
In order to become certified, our inspectors were required to take inspection courses related to the interior and exterior of the home, including the common and major areas of concern for home buyers, such as the foundation, heating and cooling, roof, plumbing, and electrical systems. Our inspectors are graduates of the InterNACHI® School, the world's only home inspector college that offers the nationally-accredited Home Inspector Certificate Program.
Buying a home is typically the biggest investment you will ever make, so it's important to get a home inspection because the inspector can find and document defects that may or may not be evident to you. Such defects can range from simple replacements or repairs to severe damage or safety and health concerns.

About Me
At Precedence 1 Inspections, we believe that every client deserves more than just an inspection — they deserve confidence, clarity, and peace of mind in one of the most important decisions of their lives.
As the founder and lead inspector of Precedence 1 Inspections, I am K.M. Raukee Matagi — a highly credentialed and experienced Residential Home Inspector and Commercial Property Inspector, as well as a HUD Certified 203(k) Consultant proudly serving the greater Las Vegas and Clark County area, with an expanding presence throughout Southern Nevada, Southern Utah, Utah County, and parts of Arizona.
When I founded Precedence 1 Inspections over 7 years ago, my mission was simple — to provide clients with the most thorough, trustworthy, and reliable inspection services possible. That mission has never changed. What has changed is the depth of my experience, the breadth of my credentials, and the scope of services I am able to offer my clients today.
I conduct every inspection in strict accordance with the InterNACHI Residential Standards of Practice as well as the CCPIA Commercial Standards of Practice — ensuring that every report I deliver meets the highest professional and ethical standards in the industry.

What truly sets me apart from other inspectors is the unique combination of professional backgrounds I bring to every inspection and consultation:
As a former law enforcement police officer, I bring an unparalleled level of integrity, attention to detail, discipline, and thoroughness to every inspection. The sharp observational skills and commitment to accuracy I developed through years of law enforcement service directly translate into more thorough, more reliable, and more detailed inspection reports that clients, lenders, and real estate professionals can truly depend on.
As a Teamster Journeyman and Equipment Foreman with over 21 years of hands-on construction experience, I bring a deep and practical understanding of building systems, construction methods, structural components, and renovation processes that most inspectors simply do not have. This construction background makes me exceptionally qualified to identify defects, assess repair needs, and provide accurate and reliable HUD 203(k) consulting services for both residential and commercial properties.
As a Lead Home Inspection Instructor for Key Realty and the Colibri Group — one of the nation's most respected real estate education organizations — I am actively shaping and training the next generation of licensed home inspectors right here in Nevada. Being trusted to teach at this level reflects the depth of knowledge and experience I bring to every inspection I perform.
Over the past 7 years, I have had the privilege of inspecting and consulting on a wide variety of property types, including single-family homes, Multi-Family Properties, Commercial Office Buildings, Retail and Strip Malls, Warehouses and Industrial Properties, New Construction Properties, and mixed-use properties — giving me a truly comprehensive and well-rounded inspection background that benefits every client I serve.
