This is a great example of getting what you pay for. Before you do anything, review Ted's website and go through all his pointers and free advice. It saved me from buying a place that looked great on the surface but under closer scrutiny had many defects. That was without having to pay Ted a dime. When the time came to hire him for an actual inspection the level of detail and scrutiny that Ted exercises is tremendous. What you get after all is said and done is a playbook for the future of your investment. If you're looking for somebody who will tell you the truth, be honest about what is observed, and give you tips and pointers on how to look after your home then this is the company for you. Sure, it's not cheap. But consider how much money you'll spend on the home and ask yourself whether you're willing to risk your money on a place that could be in much worse shape than you think. In my opinion it was worth every penny.

Hi Jordan,
I assume you're well settled in by now, I'm always surprised when clients write me a testimonial several months after their inspection.
Yes, when we met it was as if we were old friends. Helping people sort through some of the marketing camouflage not only helps potential buyers but I actually prefer to inspect strong home contenders. I do thoroughly enjoy the challenges of less than happy homes but I hate to see people waste their money for a home inspection of a real bow wow that should have been euthanized. Don't get me wrong, doing an inspection on a problem house is a huge educational plunge for unsuspecting buyers, it's actually kind of fun. In most all cases their 2nd purchase choice is quite a bit different when they realize; any savings in the sales price would actually be more than gobbled up in needed repairs and future maintenance, repair and replacement. Yes those imagined savings pretty much evaporate when the rose-colored glasses come off.
As always; you know where to find me, I'm anxious to assist with any issues you encounter.Happy trails...
Ted
