DO NOT HIRE CHRISTOPHER/CHRIS PASSINO AND HIS REFERRING REAL AGENTS SAM AZAR AND HIS TEAM. Christopher/Chris Passino inspected our property in Yuma, AZ in March 2025, for us as home buyers. His report certified the walls, gate, and structure were in generally acceptable condition with no safety concerns; when, in fact the structure was dangerously damaged and caused a physical injury to my hand. His own photograph in the same report shows the structural damage he failed to flag -- an internal contradiction within his own document. He also failed to disclose a damaged non-functional garage door. He was personally recommended in writing by our real estate agent Sam Azar as his "number one inspector". Through false reports and misrepresentations, the condition of a property sold to us for more than half a million dollars was concealed, causing us significant financial losses including inability to rent the property and a heavy mortgage burden on a home we cannot safely sell or rent. When escalated to Sam Azar's brokerage company, they failed to resolve the matter despite written promises to do so. Do not trust this inspector and his referring agents Sam Azar and his team when making any significant property purchase. read more

Update 12-22-21 Mr. Passino's carrier called me today he has opened a claim. He also contacted me and agreed to go out with a plumber to address the issues after the holidays. Update 12-22-21: When I completed this review I received an email from Mr. Passino telling me I had better take down these pictures. Just an FYI. I also had to call the Az Dept of Technical Registration to get insurance information. I called them but they would not let me file a claim. They advised Mr. Passino is the only one who could do that. I will not be holding my breath for him to do the right thing and let the insurance investigate. Original review: Do not use them. They were not very professional at the inspection when I had questions. He told me when I had questions to just look at the report. I should have cancelled the inspection right then. That isn't the main issue. The recommended recaulking at the tub where the tub was not caulked and that we caulk some tile near the tub. See below pictures I had a tenant move into the house and took a couple of baths and the entire tub started lifting out of the encasing and the tile buckled. I had a plumber come out and he stated that based upon the inspection photo it is clearly not a grouting issue and that the inspector should have suggested a plumbing inspection. Based upon his inspection it was clear the grout line was redone, in an area and it was thicker and a different color. I called the inspector and he didn't return my call. He referred me to Nick. I wanted to file a claim to see if this would be covered. He said his guys can't see through walls. I said well, they should be trained to see that there may be an issue and recommend a secondary inspection by the proper trade. He told me no. I asked for his insurance company, and he told me no and discontinued the call. Do not trust these folks for an inspection. I am calling the DOI and will push this further.1 read more

I have used Chris several times, more than I can count. If there is something wrong or broken he'll find it. Chris takes his job seriously and works hard. So don't expect a Mr. Sun-shine off a kiddy show. I use him because he's the BEST. I have used other inspectors, most of them in Yuma and no one else compares to the level of skill or is as thorough. He is fair and very honest and you will get a detailed inspection report. I am now a HUGE fan of doing inspections on NEW homes as well. I hired Chris for a new home and he found the builder forgot to add insulation above the master bedroom. Getting an inspection can saves you thousands of dollars over the years. He also is now offering sewer scoping and well inspections. read more

Chris did a home inspection for me this week and he did an outstanding job. Chris took his time going over the house from the roof to the foundation. Chris also took time to answer questions we had during the inspection. We had previously used a national franchise inspector on a previous home we looked at, Chris inspected thing they did not. I definitely would use Chris again. read more

Chris did an excellent job inspecting the mobile home that I was purchasing. His report was clear and concise. I was able to show the report to my plumber and electrician, and they were quickly able to assess the work needed and give me a very accurate estimate. He also recommended an option for air conditioning that I had not considered before. We went with his suggestion and saved almost 50% of the price I was anticipating to pay. Would wholeheartedly recommend Chris and his company. read more

Christopher was scheduled to perform a home inspection for purpose of escrow. I find Christopher to be very professional and extremely helpful. He even assisted another professional who was there to inspect for pest. He pointed out all of the issues that he felt were a safety issue then brought to my attention the less important issues. He answered all my questions and stayed until I left. I will recommend him for anyone. Actually makes the inspection process fun and educational. Please seek him out. Toy won't be sorry. read more
