10/10

We were referred to Gary by our realtor. We had just put an offer down on a house for my mom and wanted to make sure was buying a house that didn't come with a bunch of expensive issues. Gary met my brother at the house and I believe they were there for 4 hours. My brother was very impressed with how thorough Gary was and he didn't leave a stone unturned. There were a couple major issues that Gary brought to our attention .... our realtor just down played them but the biggest issue was that the home had Poly B. Gary was honest with us and even sent us some literature about poly B so that we could understand all about it ourselves. He knew we were buying the house for my 70 year old mom and knew we didn't need to deal with Poly B and the potential risks and expenses that we could face in the near future. He treated us like we were family with the honest advice. We ended up backing out of the deal. We found another place and I didn't hesitate to get Gary to do the home inspection. He again met my brother at the house and conducted another 4 or 5 hour inspection. I don't think he missed one item. His inspection also helped us get another couple thousand dollars off due to some maintenance the owner's hadn't kept up on. The final report that Gary supplied us detailed each item no matter how big or small. I have always cringed at getting a house inspector..... I feel like they work for the realtor and basically end up being a waste of money as they don't provide you all the details. Since we got the chance to work with Gary... my opinion has definitely changed. I would highly recommend Gary to anybody purchasing a home. Thanks for all your help and advice Gary, Tracy Wotton

Many thanks Tracy, it's a fact that 'some' realtors like to dismiss Poly-B as not being an issue. Just Google Poly-B issues Calgary and read the horror stories!

Many thanks!
