GIBSON HOME INSPECTION

The inspection went well as always. Skip always does his inspections with the buyers so he can explain everything he finds and is going to put in the report. He also explains how serious something may be and possible solutions. I recommend him to all my clients. Bill Ryan, William Raveis Real Estate

The office staff was polite, and pleasantly answered any questions we had prior to the inspection. At our request, they sent us a sample report prior to the inspection, so we knew what to expect. Skip arrived promptly and immediately put us at ease. His inspection was thorough, and he provided an informative running commentary as we moved around the outside and through the interior of the house with him. He answered all our questions, and often offered suggestions of ways we could correct weaknesses he saw. He also helped us understand the differences between living on the Cape and living inland. He had an easy manner, but was professional at all times.

The outcome for me was awful...a very qualified, cash, no-contingency buyer was lost....all apparently due to the report. In today's market, buyers are hard to come by, and the markets deserve thoughtful, balanced and carefully-written reports. It is OK to point out the obvious; it is OK certainly to reveal real flaws. But to create a spectre of issues that may occur without evidence in support does not service any good interest.
