I can't thank this guy enough. On the day of our inspection, he arrived early & got started right away, writing down notes and taking pictures. He was very thorough & professional yet you do not feel intimidated by him. He was very honest, he will tell you how it is, no more, no less. The property we were looking at was immaculate and clean inside & out, new appliances, roof, window etc. BUT it had a 40 year old furnace which must be replaced, being a first-time homebuyer I would've totally missed that if not for him. We were able to negotiate the price further because of this 'issue'. We also received a binder of all his findings and there he mentioned the aluminum wiring of the house which could be an issue with insurance. Sure nuff, it was an issue & a big SAFETY & COSTLY one at that! In the end, we decided not to buy the place. I can't put a price on safety and peace of mind.
I called this guy like so many times with all my questions (sorry, Brent!) and every single time he would give me the same straight to the point, honest answers.
It was the best $350 I've ever spent so far since I started looking for a house. I will definately hire him for my next inspection, no doubt. So Brent, don't get too comfy, you will hear from me again sooner or later!
Now I just wish there's a realtor like this guy, then the world will be a better place!
Brent, from me and my mom, our sincerest thanks. You saved our necks! :)

Awwwww Grace ! What went wrong with that one? Why on earth was everyone giving you so much friction on this house? Including your realtor? At the inspection, I was thinking to myself, "Are these people for real"? They were so certain with what they were saying I was starting to actually believe them and second-guess myself! They were admit that the furnace was 15 years old and it was over 40. There's a bit of a difference! Then your realtor gives you the Direct Energy number to call them so you can get on a plan? That's the negotiating process? That's comical if anything! Oh well, next one will be a winner! Thanks again Grace, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
