I'm also certain a lesser home inspector wouldn't have caught most of it (errors in previous structural repairs, poorly wired electrical systems, hidden leaks, lead paint, etc). His expertise regarding all the disparate sysems of a home was just amazing. He also took the time to go over his finidings and answer all of our (numerous) questions. Net-net, he basically kept us from making a 7-figure mistake and we'll be eternally grateful. Don't take your real estate agent's advice on hiring a home inspector (they're trying to close a deal). Hiring Allen Professional Services is the best way to make sure you're making the right investment.

On 7/17/18 Ben Witherspoon of Southern Home Inspectors in Jackson, TN inspected a house I was going…read moreto buy. I met him there & he was already finished w/inspection. I specifically asked about knob & tube (k&t) wiring since house was built in 1931. He stated no sign of it & breaker box updated and all looked ok. He then asked me to sign contract. Since inspection complete, I just signed w/out reading which I shouldn't have done but it wouldn't have made difference then. When report rec'd later that day, again stated electrical ok but said no attic access? I didn't worry b/c he had confirmed wiring was ok. When moved in house in 08/2018, discovered k&t all through house. Also found other issues such as soft/rotten bath floor, rot on window sill & floor beneath, spliced wiring in breaker box, 5 support posts holding up back porch were so rotten at bottom that porch in danger of collapsing, lighting in basement connected by extension cords, and other issues not as serious. I went into upstairs room & saw the attic access w/in 10' of a window a/c that he inspected. The k&t wiring was visible right inside the access. I called Mr Witherspoon who brought an electrician with him (I've asked for his name twice & he didn't respond) and at first acted like access wasn't there during inspection but finally admitted he missed it, apologized saying he didn't want me to think he didn't know how to do his job and that it had been a long time since he missed anything, and said he'd take care of it but to give him couple of days to come up with plan. After couple of texts with him telling me not to worry I rec'd letter citing limitation of amt paid for inspection w/check enclosed for $375. He quit responding to me then. I retained atty who reviewed contract & said not only was there limited liab clause but limitations after every section which basically made him responsible for nothing but that to fight E&O attorneys could exceed repair costs. which will likely exceed $30,000. And he has claimed no responsibility! Since this, realtor has learned of others that have had issues with him. I have all documentation...report, letter, emails, texts, photos, etc. He should have pointed out the limitations when I signed the contract & not told me he would take care of it if he wasn't. In my opinion his actions are very unethical.
