I am submitting this from the seller's point of view. We are selling a home and FPC was the home inspector that the buyer's selected. From our first conversation with them regarding scheduling, the woman that was setting it up seemed somewhat defensive (almost like we were the people trying to hide stuff from them, and it was there job to find what we've hidden) and was also short and curt. There was confusion on what time exactly they were going to be there so we could meet and let them in. When my wife did open the door, she welcomed them there, and the same woman looked over her shoulder and starting talking to the buyer without really acknowledging my wife standing there. It was very disrespectful and somewhat rude. We politely showed them how to lock the door and left them to their business. After the inspection we came back to find breakers that hadn't been reset and GFCI outlets that hadn't been reset. We also received a copy of the report from the buyer and there were pictures of another house with issues referenced to the picture. There were also issues noted that we brought in a professional to fix and the professional couldn't find the problem. I think they got our inspection mixed up with the other inspection they did that day and it cost us money.
I completely understand the need for an inspection and appreciate some of the things they found, as I don't want to sell a house with problems. We just had one of our own on another house we are purchasing but used what I would say is a superior company. I wanted to submit this because I think that a business needs to treat everyone well and more importantly needs to be accurate and precise. These folks are not. I personally will not use them for any other homes I purchase because inaccurate documents like this can cause a rift between buyers and sellers. read more
