  • "Thank you very much for the report and inspection. I appreciated you taking the time to provide me with pointers on everything from using the fireplace, to caring for the granite, to operating the furnace. It was very helpful and made me feel more comfortable about becoming a first-time homeowner. I'll definitely refer your services to anyone in need of a home inspection." – Amanda, Home Buyer

  • "I've read through the report. Thank you very much for your time. I learned a lot from you on keeping systems in good order throughout the seasons. As I said, I've never owned, or operated a garbage disposal, or an air conditioner. This condo. is more luxurious and well appointed than any place we have ever lived in. We are very excited about this home, and we will insist that the developer implement your recommendations." – Rick, Home Buyer

  • "Thank you once again for the excellent inspection and service. It is always wonderful to meet and work with people with such professionalism and competence. I will most likely retain your services again once the furnace/AC has been serviced to make sure that the temperature issue has been resolved" Mike, Home Buyer

  • "Michelle-It was nice to meet you. I'll be sure to keep you in mind for future clients. I like working with someone who isn't afraid to be thorough. (I'd rather have a client break a deal because of a bad home inspection rather than buy a home that won't make them happy.) And also, I think it takes the right person to advise first time buyers. You really did a great job in that regard." Laura, Real Estate Professional

  • "Michelle's inspection was an essential part of my first home-buying experience. She was thorough, professional, and found things that I never would have picked up on. The cost of the inspection was minimal when I consider the sense of security her expertise brought and the money saved by catching necessary repairs before I moved into my new home." Erin, Home Buyer
