We were in the market and found a house that we liked, so we put an offer in for an extremely quick close. During that time, we had Brent on standby on 2 different occasions, in which the deal did not move forward, but Brent stayed very flexible for us. Eventually the close went through and Brent was available to help on short notice.
We generally prefer to do our own work, but decided to hire someone since this was a rather large purchase, with areas we weren't as knowledgable in (pools, mansard roof, ravine lot). I was a bit sceptical to the value of hiring a home inspector, but Brent did an awesome job. He was very thorough and knowledgable. Most importantly, we felt very comfortable doing the inspection with him. It was like having a good friend look at our house in detail, and allowed us to bounce questions off him while we walked around.
Brent takes pride in his work, and his character is awesome. I enjoyed talking to him, which is very important, as you will feel comfortable asking him questions and getting a sincere answer. There were many times we stopped and chatted for long period of times, and he didn't seem like he was in a rush to leave the site, which is the type of pace I prefer. Even with the extra time socializing, I did not feel it cut into our inspection time, and he stayed a lot later, which I feel bad for, but hopefully he enjoyed spending some time with us as we did with him!
His price is very competitive, and the detailed package report provides a lot of information. Highly recommended!
