Listen to what the other reviews mention - Mark Thomas is the best and is well worth it…read more I recently purchases a duplex down in Bayview and he was recommended to me by my realtor, Norm Terapak (Terapak Realty), as being the best. After calling up and speaking with his assistant about his rates and time, I noticed that it was a little more expensive than other home inspectors. She did mention that it is since he is the best, has the best reports, gets on the roof, and takes his time going through. I took Norm and her word for it and had Mark take a look at the property. His assistant called to let me know that he was running late due to traffic yet he still showed up on time, which is always a plus. We spent more than 4 hours looking through EVERYTHING, and I mean he looked at and tested everything. I have been told that most inspectors don't go up on roofs anymore yet Mark got up on the roof, snapped pictures, and was checking it out for 15 minutes. Mark uses a digital camera to take dozens of pictures and has a laptop on site that he uploads them to right away. He puts together his digital report as he goes. In all he provided a digital PDF copy of the report that was 37 pages long with so much detail. Not only did it include a few pictures on each page, descriptions, but also diagrams of how to correct it or what it should look like. Mark also knew I was a first time duplex buyer and would educate me along the way, show me various items, and explain things in detail so I would understand and know for the future. He was very educational and helpful. He may be a little more expensive than others yet what he found I was able to get some serious money knocked off the price so it was money very well spent. Highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.

Another happy camper with Mark Thomas's work. He came highly recommended and scheduling with his…read moreassistant, Nicole, was as fast and as easy as could be. All of the other reviewers are right, he is incredibly thorough, describes things in a way anyone could understand and goes over the report with you on-site. He says some inspection places don't do the report on-site and I think that would be really inconvenient. As we were talking he mentioned some things that I then asked him to include in the report and he was happy to do so. What a drag it would have been to go over it all myself and ask for changes later. You can't go wrong here if you need the best.

Found one and went inside with a bad feeling that it was going to be a long wait. Instead, the receptionist listened to what we needed and we were immediately ushered in and processed. Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes. All were polite and friendly.

Back in Sept I went to my credit union (Educators Credit union) for a refi as my ARM was going to…read morereset shortly. Keep in mind, 2 years ago, I had another appraiser do my property as I bought an investment property. I had 2 appraisals, 2 years apart. RSJ, the most current appraiser, set my value at 10k LESS than 2 years ago and 30K less than my Fair market value as stated on my tax bill. I was shocked with the value set, as well as the complete disregard and rudeness of the appraiser. She (i believe it was the business owner) did come at her scheduled time. She spent a total of about 5 minutes at my home. She welcomed herself to my house, letting herself into my finished basement, my bedrooms and bathrooms without me inviting her. I even asked if she had "been here before" as she ran around my house without a word of request. She took unprofessional pictures of my property and compared my property with 3 not-so-like properties as opposed to the 9 comparables that the previous appraiser did. It was no wonder the value was set so low. I understand about appraisals and I know there are numerous factors and exclusions that may enter into arriving at the value... but to say, in this market, despite the fact that I have added granite counters, new stainless appliances and new insulation that I lost value just defies logic. I caution anyone that needs to meet a certain value to consider my experience. I contacted the appraiser and the credit union and asked that they reconsider. I gave them a chance to help me understand or do something to make the customer happy! The appraiser blew me off and offered nothing in the way of explanation or justification. Neither offered anything in the way of customer service to rectify this. At the very least, Educators credit union could have paid for this bogus appraisal. I consider myself fortunate that I did not need to hit a certain value to get my loan because I was refinancing. I feel sorry for young people that may need a value that won't get it using this method! The reason I am writing is to caution anyone who would need an honest value and appraisal to beware of this company. I also spoke with Educators about this and the only thing I got from them was sympathy. PLEASE BEWARE!
