Bryan D. Mize is one of a small number of CCPIA-certified commercial property inspectors serving Western Washington. Based in Poulsbo on the Kitsap Peninsula, he brings 15+ years of inspection experience and CMI-level credentials to every commercial property evaluation.
Bryan D. Mize has spent his career doing one thing: looking at buildings closely enough to find what other people miss. Over 15 years and more than 5,000 inspections — residential and commercial — across Kitsap County and the greater Puget Sound region, he has built a reputation for thoroughness, clarity, and the willingness to tell clients what they need to hear, even when it complicates a deal.
Bryan is based in Poulsbo, Washington — Kitsap Peninsula born and raised. He understands the region's construction history and climate-driven building challenges, and brings that local familiarity to commercial inspections across the Puget Sound corridor.
In 2024, Bryan earned his CCPIA (Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association) designation by completing the certification training in commercial inspection standards of practice and ethics and passing the online certification exam. This certification, combined with his existing CMI (Certified Master Inspector) status, gives Optimized CPI a credential profile that is uncommon among inspectors serving Western Washington.
Bryan inspects every commercial property personally. There are no subcontractors, no trainees, and no franchise dilution of quality. When you hire Optimized CPI, you get Bryan — on your property, performing the inspection, and available afterward to answer your questions.
The Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association (CCPIA) is the national association focused on commercial-specific inspection standards, education, and certification. Certification is awarded to inspectors who complete the certification training in commercial inspection standards of practice and ethics and pass the online certification exam.
In practical terms, this means Bryan inspects commercial properties using a methodology that is specifically calibrated to commercial building systems — not a scaled-up version of residential inspection procedures. The evaluation scope, the reporting format, and the findings documentation all reflect the complexity that commercial properties require.
Combined with his CMI designation — held by fewer than 3% of inspectors nationally — Bryan brings a credential profile that is uncommon in Western Washington's commercial inspection market. You can verify both credentials directly:
"Bryan caught a massive HVAC capacity issue that every other inspector we spoke to didn't mention once. The report was detailed enough that our attorney used it directly in purchase negotiations. Best inspection money I've ever spent."
"We were on a tight due diligence timeline and Bryan made it work. The report was thorough, well-organized, and delivered on time. We found significant deferred maintenance items that changed how we structured the deal."
"As a commercial lender, I've seen a lot of inspection reports. Bryan's work stands out — organized by system, clearly written, and with enough photographic documentation that our underwriters had everything they needed without follow-up questions."
