Mike truly is the Vanguard of the profession. His attention to detail, thoroughness, timeliness,…read moreprofessionalism, and ability to explain WHY is invaluable. His services are exemplary. Not only do you get a home inspection and a timely report, you get a home guide that will detail ever facet of the prospective home, what to do and what NOT to do. If you take the time to read the wealth of knowledge Mike is providing to you, you will be in great shape. In addition, Mike is in your corner--that said, he gives you all the information you need to make an educated and informed decision and tools to various resources to find out even more information, should you take it upon yourself to do so. I love to research and I usually have a ton of questions which typically lead to more questions---so this aspect of the inspection service was amazing. Okay, so back to our experience during the inspection: Mike walked us through every room of the house that had nice new modern shiny fixtures and finishes. He wasn't distracted by that at all. He found the homes secrets which were BIG ticket items (I MEAN BIG). I mean, the defects were so bad he would keep checking in on us to see if we were okay. His check-ins made such a disappointing process much more palatable. Side note: when you hear such horrible news during an inspection for a home you love, Mike will (respectfully) tell you the truth, NOT what you want to hear. Home buying is an emotional process. When you step away and look at the objective evidence presented to you, you'll feel appreciative and grateful you had someone in your corner telling you the truth and not feeding into what you want to hear to move things along. This helped us make a reasonable counter to account for structural damages and eventually helped us easily walk away from a shiny apple with a rotten core. Okay, back to the inspection.... Mike also let us get involved in the process. For example, he pointed out issues in the attic and carefully guided us up so we could see exactly what he was talking about so it would be easier to explain to the sellers in the negotiation process. I personally got down on the bathroom floor to look at the level of pooling in the shower and saw how dangerously close the water was to overflowing into the rest of the bathroom space. These are little details that really made the experience worth it. The most valuable portion of Mike's service is his knowledge. He truly is a master of his craft. IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ HIS MATERIALS, EVERYTHING--YES, EVERYTHING, you will understand exactly what I am talking about! Mike breaks down exactly what is a structural defect, what should be done for proper maintenance, and what things would be nice to do to increase the longevity and use of the home. Having that tiered approach helped us tremendously with negotiations. We were able to obtain rough estimates of the minimum cost to correct the structural defects and went in with a strong argument coupled with a strong supporting report, in addition to estimates, and Mike's impressive CV. Due to the extent of work that had to be done, a meeting of the minds did not happen on this particular property. HOWEVER, we are so appreciative of Mike's thorough examination of the property. My parents who have been Brokers for over 40 years were extremely impressed, family contractors used Mike's report to study and analyze line item by line item in preparation of negotiations, our Realtor and Attorney both loved his report as well! Bottom line--we will be using Mike again! If I could give him 100 Stars I would. Do not hesitate to call and book Accurate Inspections, Inc. You will be glad that you did.

Accurate Inspections and Michael have a reputation of a very thorough inspector, which sometimes…read morecauses controversy, so I hope I can clarify the situation a little. Michael provides a super thorough inspection and pays attention even to the smallest details. He points out loose stones in the stairs, narrow parking spots that claim to fit more cars than it is realistically possible, stair handles placed uncomfortably, among other things. He also points out important things that are done not up to code and can cause serious issues down the line. It is a responsibility of a buyer to evaluate the findings and apply them, whether in negotiations with the seller, or just for your own reference later to understand what requires fixing and how urgent it is. And knowing that in advance, I think I received a superior service, because thanks to Michael, not only I received a concession from a buyer to fix an improperly installed, though working, garage door, but also avoided troubles with insurance company later by requesting asbestos removal and obtaining corresponding certificate. Michael's commission may be a bit higher than the market, but it's well worth it.
