As a real estate broker, I rely on dependable and honest people to help service my clients. For the past five years, Brent at Classic Home Inspections has consistently delivered excellent service. He provides a professional and, just as important, a personable approach to inspections. Brent is one of the few home inspectors I use that is actually fine with clients asking questions during the inspection. In addition, I find he's able to explain the items in layman's terms, whereas many inspections get caught up using overly technical terms. I've had a few deals fall apart after his inspections uncovered items the buyers were not willing to accept. I've also had deals come together after he was able to suggest solutions to seemingly large problems. I will continue to use Classic Home Inspections going forward. Brent provides an honest and informative home inspection, which is invaluable when making what will often be the most expensive purchase in your life.

Thank you soooo much Tim for writing me up a review from a realtors perspective. The reason I say this is because you have something to compare me to with other inspection companies. Whereas many of the readers on this blog do not. Agents such as yourself tell me nightmare after nightmare with other inspection companies. I think to myself, "exactly who are people hiring". Tim, it's always a blast working with you and I appreciate your business. It's great that you've heard positive feedback from your clients regarding my inspection because this always means so much to me. Thank you TIm! All the best for 2016, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Cory showed up right on time and was able to remedy the problem quickly. Due to a faulty builder installation years ago, I haven't been able to use the retractable nozzle head in my faucet. Delta shipped me the replacement parts and Cory was able to, with some effort, remove the old hose, then readjust the faucet installation. Everything works great now. Regarding pricing, I have never used a plumbing service before, so I appreciated the up front method of price discussion before Cory went ahead with any repairs. A follow up call immediately came from WaterWorks after the appointment was over. A good method for ensuring customer satisfaction. I would recommend them as an honest service.

As a real estate agent, a trustworthy, personable, solution-oriented, home inspector is gold. Brent has time and time again made the home inspection experience not only informative for my clients, but even enjoyable! He is frank about problems that he finds, but if there is a solution he's aware of, he will gladly share it. Other inspectors I've used simply documented the problems, providing vague references to consult other experts for solutions. Over the past several years, it has been a pleasure attending home inspections with Brent. Thank you for all the great inspections, and hope to see you at many more.

Oh my my Tim! This is an interesting one! I did not expect this at all. Thank you so much! You know Tim, it's great to work as a team with people. Especially when we are both on the same page. You want what is best for you client, a nice home. I want what is best for you client, a home that they completely understand, inside out. I have "killed deals" for you. Many realtors would throw up their arms and downplay issues, as if the issues are no big deal. Yet you and your clients get right involved. You all take complete interest with the inspection and get right into it. When issues arise, you let me speak freely, not interrupt me and make out as if something is not a big deal, and that I thank you for. In the end, your clients seem to be happy with the inspection (yes, even the deals that don't go through). Thanks again Tim!
