About Nearwater Property Group Home Inspections

My name is Tom Lochtefeld, founder and lead inspector of Nearwater Property Group Home Inspections. I’m a 5-Star ASHI Certified Home Inspector licensed in New Jersey, proudly serving Point Pleasant Boro and Monmouth County.

Before starting Nearwater Property Group, I worked on Wall Street as Global Head of Market Risk Reporting for JP Morgan. That role demanded meticulous attention to detail and process, especially during the 2008 financial crisis, and I bring that same precision and integrity to every home inspection I perform.

My lifelong passion has always centered on homes and their history. From growing up maintaining my family’s historic property on Nantucket Island to managing my own homes and five investment properties, I’ve spent years gaining hands-on knowledge of construction, maintenance, and how houses truly work.

Whether you need a buyer’s home inspection in Point Pleasant Boro or Wall Township, a seller’s pre-listing inspection in Asbury Park or Red Bank, or radon and mold testing in New Jersey, I provide honest, detailed insight so you can make confident decisions.

Clients choose Nearwater Property Group for:

• Comprehensive, unbiased inspections that exceed New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut standards

• Clear digital reports within 24 hours

• Mold surface and air testing

• Radon testing for a healthy home
