I couldn't imagine a better experience working with an inspector than what Dave Humphreys provided!…read moreAside from doing an excellent and through physical inspection, Dave needed to decipher very limited information provided by the seller and make sense of it to determine where roof and mold vulnerabilities had been and if they were still of concern . Dave also noted evidence of rodents whereas our professional rodent inspector did not. Dave used software for his presentation of his inspection that allowed for excellent and organized descriptions of any flaws or concerns. We also had Dave create an estimate of what it would cost to repair or replace defective and/or unsafe items in the house. He did all of this, while being incredibly kind, engaging and professional. We have purchased our house with great confidence having received Dave's superior inspection report. We can't thank him enough and we are excited to work with him f on future projects!

I like to use local, small businesses whenever possible, and his reviews were excellent. My mistake was not noticing how old they were. He advised it would take 4 to 4 1/2 hours to complete. He was there 5 hours when my realtor had to ask him to leave for the open house that was being held that day. He came back afterward to finish the roof inspection. He failed to complete an inspection for the kitchen due to "time constraints". However, he had time to note that there was a pet door that was a "safety" concern. He also stated that some items were issues that he was clearly wrong about ("minimal" strapping on a water heater that had 2 straps from a newly purchased kit and a third steel strap, replacement windows that he stated were the "builder type from the original construction"). While I appreciate thoroughness, spending time nitpicking every minor detail in a 61 year old house but not completing the full inspection I paid for is not acceptable. He did not get my name right on the report, even though I wrote it for him on the contract I signed. He did not provide the hard copy report that was promised, nor did he email it to me - I had to get it from my realtor. I'm giving him a 3 for thoroughness. If you have unlimited time to wait for this guy to complete the inspection, go for it. He may have been a great inspector in his prime, but personally I think he needs to hang it up and retire already.

Consequently, this is our 4th home inspection. Every other inspector has been... let's say, inept. More like they didn't know their a** from their elbow! They have all missed HUGE problems that we were then forced to deal with on our own once we purchased the house. Pest infestations, water leaks, useless rusted out appliances and so much more. Dayne Haigh was our inspector - he was prompt and professional and he found EVERYTHING! Not only did he find every problem (in the areas he was supposed to inspect - we did have separate inspectors for the roof and the plumbing etc.), but the report was unbelievably thorough! Everything was so well organized and explained, and all of the problems he mentioned were backed up by pictures. Even more shocking was the mold report that we received from them. This was a separate report, but I cannot tell you how thankful we are that we chose to include this add on! The MoldSPORE count was off the charts high, contained various types of mold spores and let us know that there was likely mold THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE! All of our inspectors were excellent, but our home inspector from HomeMaster was by far the best. Because of his reports we pulled out of escrow just in time. When you looked at the house, you would never have anticipated all of those hidden disasters just waiting to bankrupt us! We will never use anyone but HomeMaster for our future inspections. The amount of money they saved us was astronomical, and well worth the price of the report - which, by the way, we received very quickly! Thank you HomeMaster, from the bottom of our hearts and our wallets.

We never felt stressed out, pressured or condescended to throughout the experience. Joy shared her extensive knowledge of the area with us even prior to our active search, helped us figure out where we wanted to be, shared new and upcoming listings that she thought we would like (we were home shopping remotely,) and she used her eye for deferred maintenance to guide us--gently, but firmly--away from a house that we loved online but would have regretted purchasing. We continue post-sale to benefit from her using her extensive network in finding people to help us with landscaping, updates and repairs, setting up appointments and showing the property to contractors on our behalf. Whenever we felt unsure or unsettled, Joy was there to enlighten and reassure us. We've found a friend and a trusted partner, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a regional mentor and real estate expert.

Joy listened to what our needs were and was vigilant on keeping us informed as homes came on the market (in many cases, showed us homes BEFORE they came on the market!) Because of her persistence and hard work, we were able to buy our dream home (which wasn't even on the market at the time and we had thought we lost out on it) AND she helped us sell our home quickly and for over asking price! I can't recommend her more, Joy is the best!
