An Inspector Apart

Matt and I would like to thank Ted for his incredibly thorough inspection this week. He provided us with much more confidence in making our final purchase decision, especially since we had already been faced with an outlay of $60,000 plus on our prior home due to envelope issues. Because of that, we went out of our way to search for someone competent, independent, licensed, and with a wealth of experience, and it was money well spent. We could tell Ted was an inspector apart just from viewing his website! He spent twice the time on the inspection as other inspectors quoted, and provided us with a binder that outlined our townhome deficiencies – illustrated with photos for emphasis and in a language we could understand – prioritized in order of how soon to fix, as well as a goldmine of thoughtful resources that we will carry with us into the future. I hoped for someone knowledgeable in construction, but I was so impressed with what else we got – someone who knows that a house is not just a building, but a home. Ted’s holistic perspective incorporated his construction know-how, but also factored in health issues, and the pride of living in a well-tended home. The icing on the cake was Ted’s promise to be available post-inspection for questions and follow-up – a value-add indeed.

Thanks for the great learning experience – you have inspired us to be more hand-on do-it-yourselfers, where we were once afraid to touch anything! We will definitely recommend you to anyone we know in the realty market, and look forward to meeting you again prior to our next purchase.

Andrea and Matt
