We…read moreinitially had recommendations from our real estate agent but decided to use Yelp to explore other options. Ray's price came out to be very competitive, in addition to being immediately responsive to my Yelp message inquiries. His website is also nicely designed, I'd say better than many other home inspection websites. I didn't see a sample report on his website but messaged him and Ray emailed a sample copy right away. While there was no recommended Yelp review when we chose him, I did see some other Google reviews for his company and verified his license on the Massachusetts website (https://elicensing.mass.gov/CitizenAccess/GeneralProperty/PropertyLookUp.aspx?isLicensee=Y).   On the inspection day, Ray arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. He sent his report the same day and it was easy to read and understand. You do have to sign an agreement before the service, but mine went to my junk folder and I didn't see it until after the inspection. Here are some important details that may be relevant to others: COVID 19 Procedures in place: Inspector will wear mask and gloves, as well as practice social distancing. Anyone attending the inspection is required to wear a mask. We ask that you limit attendees, or take turns inside the home to be able to appropriately distance from others. The agreement is available for electronic signature. REPORT DELIVERY: Emailed within 24 hours to you and your agent (with your permission), with high quality photos included. UTILITIES: Please make sure the utilities (water, gas, electric) are on so the inspection does not have to be rescheduled. ATTIC ACCESS: The inspector needs clear access to the attic on your behalf. The inspector cannot move belonging's to gain access. CANCELLATION POLICY: There will be a $250 cancellation fee for any cancellation with less than 24 hour notice. You must call the office at 978-443-8598 to cancel. You will receive a text confirmation that the inspection has been cancelled. If you do not receive that, please call to confirm. Thank you for your cooperation. For other cancellations, any fees that were paid by credit card will be refunded less a 5% processing fee. Thank you Ray for the home inspection! I'd recommend Ray if you are shopping around for a competitive rate!

A disgruntled person who lost money due to one of your reports would be a convenient explanation for my review of you. That is not the case here. I wrote my review as a public service to others. By the way, if this negative review of you should be ignored because the person writing it is not a verifiable client of yours, who is to say the people with names like Regular J. and Mh M were your actual clients writing honest reviews? One reviewer said you gave them names of contractors to contact which seems unethical if you are the one telling them they need to fix something. It is obvious from your response you were not an English teacher. Your "poor me" tirade is littered with misspellings and run-on sentences. Also, it is "due diligence," not "due-diligent" and the phrase is not hyphenated. Since you are so fond of seminars, perhaps you should take a couple on grammar and punctuation so the reports you generate will be readable. There are no nefarious reasons for the review I gave and your attempt to try to tie it to phantom people out there who lost money and have an axe to grind is laughable. If you feel I was wrong in the way I evaluated your lack of skills, you were certainly free to correct the record with your response. You did not even attempt to refute what I said about your paper thin credentials. Instead, you rambled on about people's rights and then you just reiterated what I had said about the importance of hiring a qualified inspector when purchasing a house. Being a licensed inspector does not automatically make you a qualified inspector. There is a very distinct difference. There are many good inspectors out there that know their stuff. You are just not one of them. You obtained a license to be an inspector by listening to online seminars and it is really a shame that both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island set such a low bar for issuing home inspector licenses to people like you. It allows you and others to hold yourselves out to the public as experts, qualified to render opinions about all the important systems of a home. You just do not have the kind of experience you should have under your belt to be giving people such vital advice. You might be a very convincing and affable person but you are essentially a hack. When people hire a home inspector before making a home purchase, they should be getting opinions from real professionals who have a history in the building industry. They should not be getting half baked advice from a former math teacher who may have tinkered around his own house for years applying band aids to his pipes and electrical wires and who now thinks he's an expert. Simply put, you should be required to have years of experience in the building industry before you are issued a building inspector's license. It would be prudent for MA and RI to beef up their requirements for home inspectors so people like Mr. Occhino are not allowed to take a couple of online seminars, pass a test, pay a fee, put up a fancy website touting their skills, and hold themselves out to the public as experts in everything from building integrity to plumbing and electrical wiring when they have never worked in that field. They also get to charge exorbitant fees that are not commensurate with their knowledge. In this case, you certainly do not get what you pay for. Anyone who thinks an online seminar can replace years of hands-on experience in the building industry is a fool. Mr. Occhino's decades spent in the high school math department falls far short of the requirements needed for professions like pipe engineer, master builders, electricians, and plumbers. Even general construction workers most likely have more knowledge than Guy Occhino because they are actually building the houses Occhino is supposedly qualified to inspect. Anyone deciding to buy a house or to not buy a house based on Mr. Occhino's advice should think twice. Or better yet, just hire a home inspector with the right credentials to truly inspect and evaluate your property. You are not going to class to listen to a former high school teacher educating you about a thermostat, you are buying a house. Dispense with Mr. Occhino's 4 or 5 hours of fluff and nonsense and hire an inspector who can determine whether or not the house you are about to buy is a sound investment.

He arrived at the house before we did, and had filled out all of the necessary paperwork to get the inspection rolling the night before. The inspection itself was incredibly thorough, which was wonderful, because as we went through the house with Harold, it was clear that the house needed more work than we had thought when we made our offer. There were many problems (costly problems that also would have grown into health hazards) he pointed out to us -- but that had been concealed to the untrained eye. Harold emailed us an extremely detailed report later that night with pictures, and clear language and recommendations. We determined that we were not going to buy the house, and we have Harold to thank for helping us to avoid huge issues down the road. Back into the housing market now, which stinks -- but we will absolutely hire Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates when we find the next house!

Just closed on a home last January 2018. We had utilized this company on another home too - where…read morethe seller wasn't willing to do what needed to be done. We assumed (but were sadly wrong) that when they employed "licensed" professionals that you would get a good home inspection since these inspectors would know current codes. We just put our home on the market to find that what this company's home inspector did was over look a major code violation as MA law states the fuel line can't be buried underneath the cement which the inspector we utilized had taken pictures of the new boiler from the seller and we have the inspection where he doesn't even note that code violation or any problems of the like. Now I have to pay in upwards of 800-1000 to get this rectified before we sell. We had put a call in for our money back for the home inspection price (that is the same guy we used for another home) so we trusted him & he missed this code violation on the current home - as if we knew back then this was an issue (we trusted their inspector- obviously a big mistake) we could have avoided buying said house. If the owner of this company doesn't want to reimburse for this blatant mistake to other home inspectors then my husband will go to the licensing board and attorney generals office. Just be advised we thought this company was good too, until you find out that you were lied to and a major code violation was overlooked. This is why we pay inspectors. Now we're stuck paying for a big mistake this company missed. UPDATE: *Rory, business owner replies 6 days after - as he noted we wrote him (excuse me I called him) and then my husband was to send pictures of the lines. Well why would you need pictures- if you aren't supposed to check it anyway? Giving your own inspector and company two home inspections and not once were we told until AFTER you do the home inspection in the end of the report that you copied and pasted - that this isn't something you have to do or check. This is after we already pay for inspections. Funny thing is - other home inspectors we've spoken to -said that's complete nonsense on your company's part. Ethically you would know what's right. Don't play it off to cover yourself - that you are willing to work with us -as your admin Sarah stated after looking at the pictures (that supposedly you don't care about anyway -but asked for them knowing you weren't going to do anything bc you don't deal with this sort of "stuff") - that you think there was a protective coating- which there was not. They needed to be sleeved. Your clarification and willing to work with us (laughable and ALSO a LIE) - was shown when your last email from Sarah stated "after staff overview you don't deal with this." With the same nonsense excuse verbatim that you wrote here. You knew what was going on and could have reached out personally - you didn't. Hopefully others know that if there are code violations and the town doesn't pick it up then don't expect to waste your money thinking this place will either. You have had our info for a week - if you desired to rectify it - instead of trying to cover your behind online - you would have offline. Instead (and I can and will post that email) your staff gave the same answer to my husband- that you did, with no response of willing to work with us. Right? Good job lying though. You aren't looking to work with anyone.
