Scheduling with Clair was incredibly fast--it only took about 2 minutes to set up a general inspection. Julia, my inspector, was fantastic.

She even caught two other issues during the walkthrough that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. I really appreciate the honesty and the extra effort. Great experience!
