I highly recommend Greg Bradle and Lucent Property Inspections. I needed a home inspection and was…read moreable to line one up almost immediately. Greg's communication was lightning-fast and clear, which made it easy (particularly for someone who hasn't gone through this before). When he did the inspection, he was happy to have me tag along and provided incredibly helpful information (which gave me confidence about the state of the house and a useful idea of what I should work on in the future and when). The inspection was extraordinarily thorough. The resulting report was clear, with tons of detailed photos and the ability to organize it into specific action plans. Overall, the inspection was a great deal in terms of price and value received.

Our report told us what we needed to know and he was very fair and level in his evaluation. The report was even more helpful bc it added a timeline and suggestion to each presented issue to give you and idea of the level of concern (especially helpful for inexperienced buyers). His prices were given up front and understood easily. We were very pleased overall and would use him again in the future if needed.

Sego also uncovered a problem with the geo thermal in floor hearing which was a $3000 repair paid for in full by the sellers. If we had not gotten the inspections it would have cost us $4000. Well worth the cost for his detailed inspection. He was prompt and extremely thorough .

Mark is unprofessional and…read morecompletely missed several plumbing issues in the house we purchased and denied any responsibility once we found issues after closing was complete. He also marked items as functioning when they don't even exist in my home!! He has lied to our faces, said "it must have broken after the inspection was done" when there are signs of the problems being long-standing. Would not issue a refund despite very obvious error on his part. This is our first house and am now extremely nervous about what else he might have marked as functioning/not damaged that are going to cost me in the future. He has completely ruined our first home-buying experience. DO NOT HIRE!!!

You know those annoying things in reviewing, right? Like... "I'd give this place NO stars, if I…read morecould" or "I'd give them ALL the stars." The overzealousness can sometimes read amatuer, less-than-thorough, so I get it, I do! Problem is... if I could, after working with Jon, I'd give Finest Home Inspection, Jon Ellis, owner, and his gorgeous wife, Jennifer ALL. THE. STARS! I'm buying a home as a newly divorce woman returning to Champaign after 12 years away! Part of the problem is that I'm doing this sight unseen. The other part? I've only ever purchased property with another human being! A compulsive, drill-down-fact-checker who basically built life to fit the way he wanted to live! Nothing wrong with that in theory, it just kinda left me without a ton of tools to do this on my own. First thing I learned in this process -- you CAN'T depend on anyone but yourself to do the legwork! My real estate agent, a fine enough person, said he'd hook me up with all his best people. I fell into the routing I lived for years pre-divorce! I let him make the decisions, let him set the appointments, and just got along to get along. The issues started when I got the first quote from his home inspector -- $600 to inspect a 1500 sq ft condo! That sounded high to me, so I went to everyone's best friend -- Google! -- and looked for awesome home inspectors in the Champaign area. I'll the truthful, there are plenty. But there's only ONE Finest Home Inspection. Only ONE Jon Ellis! So, the reviews (glowing as they are!) weren't wrong. For less than almost every other single home inspector (almost $200 less!), Jon went out to my property, went EVERYWHERE, took pictures EVERYWHERE, sent me a report that knocked my socks off (and did so in like... less than a day!), and then... offered to go over every single page of the 40+ he sent me so I understood all terminology, all requirements, all spaces and all his notes! Clearly this is my first home report on my own! If it wasn't obvious from the earlier read, with a pretty tightly controlling ex, this was my first chance to see the depth and breadth of everything that goes into choosing a home, buying a home, maintaining a home. I was concerned, immediately, when the report came back with a laundry list of fixes. But, later, when Jon and I spoke on the phone, he put my mind thoroughly at ease! Telling me that the repairs portion of a report usually looks like that -- or WORSE, MUCH WORSE! -- and so we went over the things I might wanna mention and the things I might just want to have a go with on my own, and Jon was nothing but kind, patient, understanding, and educational! You can tell that he was a home builder before he was a home inspector! And that's such a great thing I'm wearing out the !!! key. I also had the privilege of talking to Jon's wife, Jennifer. She's the other half of Finest Home Inspection. She was insightful, informative, generous with her time, and genuinely sweet. If she's got room for a new BFF, I mean! ;D There's still work to be done, for sure, but after the prior owner makes the adjustments and changes necessary, I'm happily spending the -- and yes, get this! -- less than $100 to have Jon go out and reinspect! One thing I know for sure in this process is this... I've never been so happy to spend like $450 (and that's all in, inspection AND reinspection with a report that came in less than 24 hours!) in my life! As a newly minted person, on a new path, with a new adventure ahead, I'm really looking forward to picking Jon's brain about making changes to my new home. Jon's like one of those all purpose tools you pass up your wrench, your screw driver, your hammer for! He's the whole package, like one of the most valuable members of your team. I promise if you trust him, you won't go wrong! =D

We decided not to ask the seller to fix them since they were inconsequential, but we were very glad we had the inspection done because it gave us peace of mind.

He's been a tradesman in many of the fields he inspects so knows what he is talking about. It's just plain foolish to not have a home your going to throw a pile of money at inspected. It's just as foolish to "bargain hunt" to save a few bucks. With this being said, his price was very reasonable and even came in under the other person my real estate agent initially suggested. And he identified a very big potential problem for us which we are investigating now. Glad I used him! And he's a great guy too. Couldn't ask for more.

HOWEVER he missed one major issue... TERMITES!!! There's major damage to most of the studs, bottoms sills, ceiling, and the roof collapsed in one area because of a termite infestation that my pest control claims has been there for at least 5+ years. They said it should've been very obvious that there was a termite issue. I know nothing about termites so I had no idea!!! When I called the office the lady on the phone was very disrespectful and dismissive coming up with excuses saying there must have been stuff in the way or he didn't have access to the area but that is not true and she rudely said that if there is a termite infestation why didn't we say something sooner... idk lady maybe because we paid you $575 to tell us if there were a issue! And they didn't so how the heck am I supposed to know!!! In fact I looked back on the report and found there's actually proof of the termite infestation in the pictures he sent in the report!! Ridiculous you're better off doing your own home inspection than paying this company. What a joke!
