ALLIANCE REAL ESTATE INSPECTIONS

This company literally stole our money. The inspector lied to us and missed several issues with the home on the day of our inspection. We asked him several questions about the tasks he performed during the inspection and he lied to us about doing them. He missed so many issues with the new house that were standard jobs for an inspector. He missed showers that didn’t work, appliances that didn’t turn on and large holes in the exterior stucco. The builder did indeed fix all of these items when we ourselves pointed them out, however, the Alliance inspector missed all of them. We informed management at Alliance of our experience, and they told us that our “version” of the events was hearsay. They spoke to their inspector and he lied to them too when confronted. We explained to management that we had proof of our claims and that we would have the builder document all of the items the inspector missed, however Alliance still maintained their inspector did his job. It was astounding how bad we were treated and literally paid $850 for an inspection that was not done properly, not accurately reported and a complete fraud in our experience.

Ryan was great. I actually tracked him down and requested him because I was so impressed with a report he did on another home that I put an offer on, but did not get. He was thorough, personable and very knowledgeable. I would DEFINITELY recommend Alliance to anyone, especially Ryan.

Inspector Tom was very professional and took the time to explain all of the technical details of the inspection. He was willing to answer questions later since the prospective buyer was not present during the inspection. The report was provided promptly and electronically, which was very handy. It included nearly 40 photos, which were useful in helping to visualize the conditions and consider corrective measures. The inspection was very thorough and included interior and exterior areas (deck, grading, side staircase, driveway, walkways, exterior cladding, etc.) Conditions were rated accournign to hazard level - from "Recommended Upgrade" for option items to "Safety Concern" (worse case). Although the prospective buyer did not purchase the home, the inspection and report were useful in evaluating the current conditions and potential future repairs that might be needed for the residence.

Great,,,Learned A-Lot Of Great Stuff...And To Top It All Off He Hands You A Binder When Your Done..

I've used Alliance Inspection twice. The first time I had Robert as my inspector and the second time I had Michael as my inspector, on two different houses I was in escrow for. They both did excellent jobs and were extremely through. They were timely, professional and even printed out a report for me at the end of the inspection. I will always use them for my inspections. When speaking to other people who have used other general inspectors, it is quite clear to me that Alliance was superior in the quality and thoroughness of their work.

The home inspection performed by Robert really set the bar for us for home inspections going forward. He was very thorough and created a very professional and clear report at the conclusion of the service. No crawl space or gutter was left unevaluated. His demeanor was professional. His recommendations were clear and concise, and every report item had a clear picture indicating the problem. He made it very clear to us the priority of items to be repaired.

Recommended.

Paul was On Time, On Budget, and On Target. I received a full report (on paper and electronically) at the end of the inspection that detailed what was good and what was bad about the house. The inspection did not include any 'lab work' (i.e. no lead paint or mold assessment) nor did it include sewers or termites. Otherwise, very complete. I highly recommend.

I have used Alliance twice now, in two separate escrows. Both times I had Robert as my inspector, and he was extremely helpful. At the end of each inspection (which lasted 2-3 hours), Robert walked with me through the house and explained all of his concerns as well as gave me a binder and CD with all the information (as well as my Realtor) so I could reference it later. Because of his recommendations to follow up with a few specialized inspections on the last house I offered on, I discovered about $23,000.00 worth of extremely necessary repairs that I would have been unknowingly saddled with had I not followed his advice. Unfortunately, the seller wasn't willing to compromise, so it looks like I will have to be calling Alliance again some day. But at least I know I will have a great and thorough inspector on my side!

We were first time buyers and our real estate agent recommended them. They arranged the inspection very quickly and Michael showed up with his printer, laptop and equipment to test everything. He did a very thorough inspection and then took my wife and I through the house step-by-step, which we really appreciated being first time buyers. He burnt a CD and told us how to read between the legalese he was required to put in there for any follow on inspections. He also made himself available for follow up calls and recommended some really good companies for more specific inspections and repair work.

I called on Monday and made an appointment for the next morning. Robert arrived right on time and began right away. He performed a thorough inspection of the house, then took me around and explained each of his findings. He had his laptop and portable printer and printed out the report (and burnt a CD) before he left. I was referred to Alliance by a friend when I bought my first house in 2003 and was impressed then, no difference this time. It was clear that Robert was very knowledgeable an thorough. Luckily the house had just minor problems, but he explained each one in detail. As a repeat customer I unexpectedly received a 10% discount. They followed up a week later with a call to find out how everything went and to ask if I had any questions regarding the report.
