The bullet: Green Mountain Property Inspections makes your property purchase its priority, both in…read moreaction and in education. The long version: I have dealt with numerous property inspectors, both as a customer and as an attorney counseling my clients, in decades of practice. Many offer detailed inspection reports, others offer convenient service and timely performance, and others still offer to guide the prospective buyer through the property to educate them. Few offer to do all of these while also communicating effectively and clearly. Lucian Benway of Green Mountain Property Inspections is one of these rare inspectors. Lucian's inspection process is equal to those of inspectors with decades of experience: Start with the critical infrastructure (heating, electrical, etc.), directly inspect the interior and exterior of the entire property, or (as with rooftops) with a drone, and outline any concerns along the way with the customer. Lucian takes copious notes, photographs, and video, all of which he uses to great effect when he tenders his final report. This report is more than a summary of the property, it is an itemized guide for repairs and improvements in both the short and long term; Lucian understands that a property purchase may require tolerating some issues, but you may still wish to address them in the future. Beyond his competence and communication, Lucian is a professional: On a recent transaction Lucian gracefully handled a last minute cancellation due to missteps by the listing agent. He could have complained about the disruption to his schedule, and he could have billed the client for the cancelled inspection, Instead, he waived any fee and committed to a new inspection date with no issue. For all of this, I refer my real estate clients to Lucian without reservation or hesitation, and you should, too.

Matt was spectacular! It was so refreshing to call the…read morenumber and have not only a real person answer but Matt himself! He coordinated with the seller's realtor directly and performed the water collection and testing less than a week out! Matt emailed regularly to keep us updated and made sure we had the results of the tests in less than a week. He was cordial, professional, and efficient. His experience in Realty and engineering only add to his credibility as a knowledgeabl, credible, and trustworthy inspector. He even followed up with helpful advice in regard to our water system with LINKS directly to the websites of those services. He could have offered future services as the middleman but instead simply gave us all the information to perform it ourselves. Seriously, who does that these days?!? We are beyond pleased, impressed, and grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend his services!

My whole experience with Lary was exactly what I wanted. In my communication before the inspection…read morehe got back to me promptly, communicated via phone, text message, and email, and was able to suggest a few times that worked for him. He was actually a little early at the property and was able to do some of the exterior inspection before I arrived. He walked through the whole property with me, including the out buildings and helped to sort out some property boundary questions that I had. His descriptions of the building and its systems were detailed but he didn't talk over my head with contractor jargon. He was down to earth, friendly and thorough. The inspection report came in the next day with pictures and graphics to help me understand. It was easy to read and Lary made himself available after the inspection for some follow-up questions. I would absolutely recommend him again!

Eric is awesome! I chose Eric as my home inspector, and he did an excellent job! Eric examined my…read morenew home very carefully and thoroughly, noting details such as a crack on the floor inside a room and a broken piece on the outside wall, making sure that everything was in proper working condition. Because this is my first time buying a home (a small condo), I had a lot of questions. He explained everything very clearly and patiently. I had a major concern with the baseboard, and Eric helped reflect the real situation in his report. The seller then addressed the heating problem and ensured that I could live there comfortably. Eric returned the report very quickly. I had my inspection on Friday afternoon, and the report was completed by Sunday morning. The price was also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Eric as your home inspector!
