10/10

I have had Brent inspect two houses for me now (the first one not working out), and he is excellent at what he does. He is thorough, detailed, and honest, which is exactly what I wanted in a home inspector. He took the time to show me everything that he was looking at and explaining it in a way that I (as a layman) could understand. He made sure I was comfortable with what I was seeing before leaving a room and was always prompting me to ask questions as we went through the house. I will be recommending Brent to anyone I know who is looking for a good home inspector in the GTA. Thanks again Brent. You saved me from a bad house deal in the frist place, and helped me find a great home for my family this time around. I look forward to working with you in the future. Patrick

Well Patrick, I think you've found a gem with this home. Yes, a home that had some issues, but just your typical stuff really. It will be quite some time before I forget about the first home you hired me for, talk about shady realtors, shady home inspectors who were lying about mold that they missed on the pre-listing inspection, overall that was just going down the wrong road. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this one. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever. Thanks again, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Brent is honest, which I think is the highest praise that you can give someone in the home-buying business. He was very straightforward with me about what the house I was looking at needed in terms of repairs, allowing me to make an informed decision about whether to buy or not. He did not make the decision for me, but rather laid out all of the needed fixes that would be required over the short, medium, and long-term. He then left the actual decision-making to me. I found it very refreshing to meet with someone who was looking out for my best interests in the home-buying process. I think it is a very rare thing to find. I would recommend Brent to anyone who is looking for a thorough and sincere assessment of a property that they are considering to purchase.

Thank you so much Patrick for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! Well that Patrick, was certainly an interesting scenario. You and I found blatant evidence of leaks and a ton of Mold within the basement space. To say the least it was very obvious. Then we both get a call the next morning from the listing agent, telling us that his "inspector"has looked at it and is stating that there are no cracks in the foundation, leaks into the basement, and that's not mold that we saw. I just about fell off my chair. The agents "inspector" is an RHI with the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors! That was the most blatant cover up I've ever seen. It was pathetic that he would stoop to that level. I would doubt he will stay in business much longer...the law suits should start to pile up for him soon...Thanks again so much Patrick! I'm sorry about the home not working out. But there was way to much shady stuff going on there ! Thanks for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!
