For Carol and Bruce Fisher, founders of White Glove Building Inspections, the name “White Glove” isn’t just clever branding—it’s a reflection of their military roots and unwavering commitment to excellence. In the military, a “white glove inspection” represents the highest standard of precision and attention to detail. Since launching their business in 1990, Carol and Bruce have carried that same level of thoroughness and care into every residential and commercial property inspection they perform.
Inspired by Military Precision
“When you hear ‘white glove inspection’ in the military, you know it’s serious,” explains Carol Fisher, White Glove’s marketing manager. “It’s all about doing the job right the first time. In inspections, even the smallest oversight can have huge consequences for a buyer. That’s why we’re so committed to covering every detail. ‘White Glove’ isn’t just part of our name; it’s how we approach everything we do.”
Carol and Bruce never imagined how memorable their brand would become. The White Glove logo has become a symbol of their dedication to thoroughness and their promise to clients and REALTORS® alike: No shortcuts. No surprises. Just exceptional service and the knowledge to make informed decisions.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
Back in 1990, home inspections were still a new concept in the real estate industry. “Most people didn’t know what an inspection was,” Carol recalls. “We started small, just the two of us, using paper carbon copies for reports.”
Bruce’s background in construction and Carol’s expertise in interior design made inspections a natural fit. Their combined experience, backed by military-inspired efficiency and reliability, quickly set them apart. Over the years, as the industry evolved from grassroots beginnings to a standard part of real estate contracts, White Glove adapted and grew—without ever compromising on quality.
Today, inspections are fully digital, and the industry has come a long way from paper reports. But White Glove’s dedication to providing accurate, detailed inspections has remained constant.
A Brand That Stands Out
Beyond their commitment to precision, the White Glove name has become a powerful branding tool. “People remember us because of the glove,” Carol shares. “It’s amazing how something so simple can leave such a lasting impression. It’s become part of who we are.”
The retro-modern White Glove logo has made the company instantly recognizable, reinforcing the company’s reputation for quality and care. Clients and REALTORS® alike know that when they work with White Glove Building Inspections, they’re not just getting an inspection—they’re getting a trusted partner who will help them make informed decisions with confidence.
Commitment to Excellence
Through decades of change and industry growth, White Glove has remained true to its core mission: empowering clients with knowledge and confidence. For REALTORS®, that means providing a seamless, trustworthy experience that makes their job easier. For clients, it means peace of mind knowing that every detail has been thoroughly inspected.
After more than three decades in business, Carol and Bruce’s original vision remains unchanged. White Glove Building Inspections is more than just a company name—it’s a promise of precision, trust, and unmatched service.
