    Delighted to share my second experience working with Rachel Shaw, a truly phenomenal realtor -- I…read morefirst worked with Rachel three years ago to buy my first house, and I chose to work with her again recently to list and sell a house. As was the case when I was on the market as a buyer, Rachel is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the market and the neighborhood. I really appreciated that she was transparent about the how/why of her pricing recommendations and listing strategy (taking the time to talk through every detail if that's what I needed) and I trusted her completely. A few other 'perks' that I didn't realize to look for in a realtor but were invaluable in my house selling experience: - Rachel has been doing this a long time, and has incredible insight on what types of updates to consider/prioritize that will increase the value and interest in the house (which was very helpful for me because my house needed some major refreshing, but with a very tight budget) - she has a list of recommended trades persons for any work you need to hire for (and will even recommend different shades of white paint for that fresh coat that you may want to apply before listing!) - she is SO responsive! No waiting around for a reply when you have a question/concern/need... she gets back so quickly and manages to thoroughly address the question/concern/need in the simplest way. - she is approachable and easy to work with, and also really savvy and strategic on getting the best possible outcome for her client I loved working with Rachel, and highly recommend her and the Philly Home Girls team for your real estate needs! An all-around positive (and successful!! she got my house sold so quickly, and over asking!) experience!

    Rachel Shaw was absolutely amazing to work with for the sale of my home in Philly, while I know…read morelove out of state. Easy communication, thorough and friendly throughout the entire process. Definitely recommend!

    After hearing that our friend had a great experience, we decided to work with Eagle Inspections…read moreourselves for our first-time homebuying process. We had the opportunity to work with Chris in our property. The entire process was seamless, from booking an appointment, the invoice, and the day-of procedure. Chris arrived early to capture the exterior documentation (i.e., front/back entrances, roof, facade) and greeted my partner and I with warmth and good humor. We examined each part of our future home, and Chris was very helpful with answering our questions and sharing context when weren't familiar with certain issues. It's clear he was knowledgeable and reassured us that we would be in good hands on closing day. After the inspection, you receive an in-depth report with assessments on the areas of improvement, concerns, and general status reports. I think he did a great job "looking for trouble," keeping us notified of how to be proactive should any maintenance is needed. Eagle Inspections was great to work with, and should definitely be considered in any home-buying process.

During inspection something broke, no one's fault just bad luck. They worked with us on the issue and have to compliment them on their professionalism. If we were staying in the area and had to hire a home inspector, they would be it. Highly recommend.

He was tremendous in taking time to answer our questions -- how to fix something / does it need fixing / ballpark cost -- and never seemed annoyed that we were asking so many questions. He diligently went about his business checking exterior features, observing, poking, and prodding to find soft spots in the wood and taking pictures where appropriate. We continued inside, and he was just as diligent, taking time to inspect each aspect of our new home, from air/heat/electrical/plumbing/walls/oven/lighting/windows/attic/crawlspace/etc.. He also coordinated a wood-destroying insect (termite) inspection for us, as well as providing a radon test. Throughout the process, we felt informed and comfortable, knowing Neil was very detailed in his observations. We are grateful that he took more time than we expected and did such a thorough job. His follow-up report left us with an actionable plan, along with cost estimates for all of the things he noticed. Just like the inspection itself, the report was very thorough. We confidently recommend Neil and Inspections Unlimited if you're looking to get a home inspection.

I chose Joe based on his consistently excellent reviews and I'm so thankful I did! He performed a diligently detailed inspection of the 100+ year old home alongside my realtor, and called me immediately following to give me his high level thoughts. When I received the report, I was even more impressed. It grouped items into repair/replace, ongoing maintenance, and future improvements. He nicely incorporated technology to provide heat sensitive photos for the radiators and 360 degree photos of the whole home. Following, he's since entertained my husband and I's seemingly unending questions with grace and knowledge. Our realtor, who I assume sees this function all the time, noted that she is going to start referring clients to him because she was so impressed. Thank you, Joe!

Recently heard horror stories from friends about other Home Inspectors, so I went into my first home Inspection a bit skeptical. Joe who was my inspector a few days ago, made sure that I was informed about all of his findings. He didn't just point them out but also educated me on why it was a finding, how to monitor the finding, and also necessary repairs/replacements to request from the seller. After receiving my inspection reports (just a little over 24 hours after the physical inspection!) I was even more amazed by how thorough the report was. If this is your first home inspection or you just don't know what to look for, Joe and his team will make sure you do. Great service at a great price!

    This weekend Corwin conducted a home inspection on a fully rehabbed, 100-year old row house we're…read morehoping to buy. We're first-time home buyers, so it was helpful that Corwin was incredibly detailed and walked us through every step of the inspection. He explained the items that he would be marking as marginal and shared what he thought the estimated cost of repair would be. We also asked him at the last minute to scope the old sewer line and he was able to fulfill that request with no problem. The inspection report has tons of pictures and notes, and left me feeling prepared to negotiate with the sellers. This is small, but I also loved that Corwin brought an extra pair of shoes to wear in the house so he didn't get the floors dirty after inspecting outside the house. Very considerate! Would definitely hire him again.

    Taking my review to YELP!!!!…read more If you are a first time home buyer or a home buyer of any kind, please DO NOT be fooled by the 4.9 stars and reviews from this company. Please take my warning and please find another company to do your inspection and save yourself the headache of incompetience and $$$$$ of issues you will have with your home after you move in. I hired Core Inspections back in January for a home inspection for a home I was buying as my first home. I was confident because the reviews were high, but I can tell once working with them that this company is full of it. During my inspection I was supposed to get a sewer scope done. A seperate person was supposed to come out the same day I was present for my inspection to do the sewer scope and they were extrememly late, they came after the general inspector and I left so they were not instructed on where to do the sewer inspection. After, Core Inspections told me I couldn't get the sewer scope done well into my inspection period because they said there was no access, when my realor and the general inspector from core inspections said there was an access point. Problem #1. Problem #2: My incompetient inspector missed so many obvious issues during my inspection. The fridge wasn't cooling and it was missed. A drain pipe was rusted and unusable and spray painted silver, and once I moved in and used the dishwasher, the basement sounded like a waterfall because the drain pipe was completely shot, large hole and clearly covered to show there was an issue. Problem #3: My inspector did a general inspection on the roof, and since it was snowing heavy, he VERBALLY told be someone would come out and finish the roof inspection when snow cleared, when I follow up now, the company is telling me that isn't protocol??? Now, I am out of a full roof inspection when I wasn't even the one who mentioned someone coming back to finish, the inspector did. Problem #4: My inspector missed that the bathroom in the home I purchased has mold/water damage behind it, so when I got a grouting/caulking company to come restore my 1950's bathroom, I was told the bathroom needed to be completely gutted because trying to restore the caulking would result in the tiles falling off due to water damage. I've reached out to the company to discuss the things missed and I received no resolution and a passive agressive, rude, and dismissive "higher up" person telling me there is nothing that can be done. And telling me that their inspector telling me that someone coming back out to finish the roof inspection was not in protocol so the promise of a more detailed roof inspection should have never be told to me. Also, all these things happened after while being on site, I asked the inspector to throughly explain the inspection results to me, and when I was asking my questions, he cut me off and told me "Stop worrying, this house is solid, I don't see any issues". I, as a first time home buyer was trusting in Core Inspections to give me a quality inspection on my home and once I moved it I got hit with issue after issue costing me thousands, only for when I follow up to be left with no solution and funky attitude from supervisors/higher ups. You also have to sign up for a 30 day warranty on appliances and if you don't sign up on their email, they will claim no responsibility if appliances break on you in the first 30 days of you moving in, even though I had no idea I was offered this. Basically, if they inspect your house, you move in and you run into immediate issues, Core Inspections is going to give you attitude and no compensation. Their inspection was $1k as well. If you are still not swayed by my review, and you decide to pick Core Inspections for your home purchase, and you get assigned Patrick for your inspection, just know you are going into your new house with a bunch of issues. I hope this review helps people who work hard for their money, try to make big financial decisions like purchase a home, NOT to get burned by a poor home inspection.
