After sending my initial inquiry by e-mail, I received a phone call back from Mike within the hour. He was friendly and professional, and was able to schedule our inspection for a date that was only 4 days away from the date that I contacted him. Setting up the inspection was incredibly simple, and I really liked that all the pricing was clearly laid out on the website, so there were no surprises when he sent me the invoice. The inspection itself was extremely thorough, and the report was well-organized with all issues categorized by level of severity and accompanied by digital photos that clearly demonstrate exactly what was going on. Despite including an impressive level of detail, Mike had the report in my inbox within hours of leaving the property. To top it all off, 5 days later I checked my mail and was surprised to find a thank you card from Mike, letting me know that he appreciated our business and hoped we were happy with his service. Needless to say, this was an understatement.

    called Mike to get information on an inspection. He was very helpful. Then when called him back to…read moreconfirm, was able to set up date to inspect within days. Did a very detailed inspection and was also very helpful when I called him to go over the results. Would recommend his services to everyone!!

    We selected Nate as our listing agent after interviewing agents from 3 different agencies, and we…read moreare thankful we selected him. Nate spent time with us to understand our situation and offered a lot of helpful insight on what he thought would be the best decisions for our situation. Throughout the entire process, he did a good job of helping us to see things through the eyes of the buyer and gave the considerations for why or why not we should do something. He walked through our home and made recommendations both on updates that would be helpful in getting a quick offer, and also offered insights on how to best stage the house for the showing. We did everything Nate told us and it paid off. We had 13 showings and 2 full price offers within two weeks of listing the house! I'm thankful we had Nate there to help talk us through the offers we received. He provided sage advice on how to best negotiate with the buyers. I'm not a huge fan of the real estate industry (don't get me started on buying agents), but Nate earned every bit of his commission. This was our first time selling a house, and I was thankful we had Nate on our side to help us navigate these unfamiliar waters (especially during a pandemic!). He was very prompt at answering his phone or responding to a text message if I had any questions. Even after we closed, I called and he answered right away and was gracious to answer the questions that I had. If you are looking to sell a house, I have nothing but high praise for Nate at Intrepid.

    Vigilant home inspectors unnecessarily panicked our buyers, which prevented negotiations on remedy…read morerequests, and led to our home sale falling through. They appeared to lack understanding of modern building practices and code regulations. When we offered to provide information on the energy efficient upgrades we made to the home, they were not interested, then listed these value-added items as problems. The remedy request stated recommendations as requirements, stated only certified plumbers, electricians, or carpenters could make repairs, which is untrue, and made several suggestions that were both unnecessary and would make the home dramatically less practical to live in. Nearly every item in the remedy report was stated in a misleading way. Their focus on radon mitigation system upgrades appears to be an attempt to generate additional business for their sister company, which installs radon mitigation equipment. The radon levels in our home have repeatedly tested well below the EPA's recommended level for mitigation and there is a fully functioning mitigation system in place, yet changes were recommended. This company's report appears to lack useful information on the important attributes of the home that other inspectors will often provide. The "vigilance" Vigilant Home Inspectors provide appears to be misguided, worrying potential buyers by focusing on items that will likely never be problematic.

    This inspector told me my crawlspace was "a spiritual journey" and that the foundation "probably…read morealigns with Mercury." He also rated my gutters a "solid B+." I asked him about the furnace, and he just whispered, "She's shy." I've never been more confused in my life. My house may fall down tomorrow, but at least I feel like I went to a very weird TED Talk.

    After calling several local home inspection companies, I scheduled an appointment with American…read moreInspections; they were without doubt the most professional company I talked to. Despite the quick turnaround I was asking of them, they were able to squeeze my appointment in and Andy did a wonderfully thorough job. After completing his inspection, Andy walked us around the house and back yard to point out everything he looked at and things he noted in his report. As first time home buyers, it gave us peace of mind to see how thorough Andy was, ask him our questions, and to hear his detailed explanations. The completed report, including a radon test, was emailed to us within 24 hours of the inspection, with captioned photos and descriptive explanations for everything being noted. This made it very easy to discern what we would ask our house sellers to fix before we take possession, and made it clear to the sellers what we were asking for since they didn't get to talk with Andy directly.

We will…read morecomplete a thorough and detailed on-site inspection, taking the time to answer all your questions and provide any additional explanation necessary to ensure you understand and are comfortable with the information being provided. Rather than providing only a very basic on-site inspection report, we spend extra time in the office compiling a detailed narrative report that includes detailed explanations and photos to give you the most accurate, and easily understood assessment of the property. We can also take care of your radon testing needs. We have been in business for over 25 years and have completed well over 20,000 inspection and testing services.
