I found Sean when I was searching for information about things to look out for when purchasing a heritage home. His well-written and informative article made me think he would be perfect to use for our pre-purchase inspection.
Even though he was on a well-deserved vacation when I emailed him, Sean got back to me right away and managed to make time on a Sunday to squeeze in our inspection before the fast-approaching subject removal date.
He spent nearly four hours on the inspection, thoroughly checking every aspect of the home and taking time to explain each detail in lay terms. He was polite and respectful and patient in answering what must have seemed some silly questions we had.
The detailed, illustrated inspection report was delivered the very next morning, and Sean put us in touch with some tradespeople for work that needed to be done.
I honestly can't imagine a better home inspection experience as first-time buyers; we got excellent service for the price and felt like Sean was looking out for our best interests. It pays to use someone independent who isn't in the pocket of local realtors. The thank-you card we received in the mail a couple weeks later was a very nice final touch.

Hello Meghan,
I am thrilled to see that your buying experience was to your full satisfaction. I think it is really important to clearly explain the details of the inspection not only in person, but to emphasize that information in the report. I really enjoyed working with you both, I have to tell you that no question is silly, especially when buying a home. I actually can learn a lot from the questions my clients ask. Thank you for sharing your comments here in HomeStars, I appreciate it it. Take care, Sean
