You will definitely want to use David as your home inspector! The quality he provides in his very thorough walk through, covering every detail from roof to basement, will give you confidence in your home purchase decision. The value of his service is remarkable as the cost is very affordable, plus it allowed for seller credits at close. The report he provides includes precise descriptions and pictures and allows you to see several key items you probably missed initially. He will walk you through the home and describe his report as you go. Aces! Thank you David
Description of Work: Very thorough inspection of home we were going to purchase.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our decision to hire Dave to do our home inspection. He was worth every penny we paid him. I would highly recommend him and would also tell anyone that even if you are building a new home to hire an inspector. Dave found things that needed addressed that we wouldn’t have even thought to check for. He really did a great job and was not only thorough but took time to answer any and all questions that I had. We ran into a lot of problems with our new build and he went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. Don’t hesitate to call on him to do your home inspection!

The inspection exceeded my expectations. David was very thorough and explained so many things to me I never would have noticed/thought of. The sellers agreed to take $5000 off the asking price after I shared the detailed report with them. Some items noted were essential to correct, like some poor wiring and an over-the-top radon level. He also got the report back to me promptly. I highly recommend David Hannan and his company Market Ready Home Inspections.

I am a Licensed Realtor and have used Dave on three transactions. In one case Dave's report resulted in terminating the contract (preventing a big mistake) and in the other two my buyers received substantial remedy repairs based on his recommendations. He is usually not very popular with the sellers. If you are buying a house Dave will give you the facts, what you do with those facts are your business.

This is the second home we had David Hannan inspect. My daughter is in the market to buy her first house. David was professional, thorough and does quality work. He took the time to show us things we needed to see and explained everything. He took his time and sent a very detailed report. I highly recommend Market Ready to anyone who is buying a house!!

Dave was prompt to respond and thoroughly explained my inspection options - so I knew what I was getting. The home being inspected was built in the 1890s, had been renovated, had multiple kitchens, an irregular roofline, lots of skylights and new building additions, and frankly, required an engineer and someone of Dave's caliber. I met him at the site when he was about 75% complete. He took the time to walk me through the house and show me key areas that I should pay attention to, and promptly provided a very detailed report. I feel that I'm purchasing this property with eyes wide opened - to be clear, I feel I received a lot of value for what I paid. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him to anyone who asks.

Dave is an expert and a true professional. If you want an honest and independent assessment of your home, Dave is your guy. Thorough, complete, and willing to go the extra mile. Our inspection was supposed to last about 3 hours...Dave stayed a full 8 hours, without a single complaint, until the inspection was complete. He seems to truly enjoy what he does. Dave finds and documents so many things in such detail. He's exactly the type of inspector we were looking for, given this was an older home needing some TLC. If I ever buy another home in the area, I'm calling Dave. Cost included termite and Radon, as well as general inspection on a 5500 sq ft home.

Dave arrived early and left late as stated in other reviews. He was courteous and professional and kind enough to explain findings while he was going through the house. I received a very thorough report that was easy to understand. I have used two prior inspectors on other houses and Dave is the first I would use again! Great service.

We were at the home for about three hours with Dave; when we arrived he had already toured the exterior and was beginning the interior inspection. The next morning we had the inspection report in our email, 60+ pages and chock full of pictures, very easy to read and follow.
Description of Work: Admittedly, we subscribe to the Mike Holmes school of common sense, of which a cornerstone is to hire the right home inspector so you have a full understanding of this major purchase. So it was important to us to find a Certified Home Inspector through the InterNACHI organization: that certification requires many, many hours of initial training, a comprehensive exam and committee-reviewed inspection reports, and annual continuing education. We had a great experience with Dave: he patiently answered our 10-15 interview questions, sent us documents when he said he would, and was early to the inspection. Very friendly, answered all of our questions during the inspection and pointed out things of interest (including continued maintenance notes). Spent a lot of time in the basement with the major mechanical systems, looked under every sink, went into the attic space, and also went on the roof. He even documented the models of the kitchen appliances and let us know that one of them had a recall issued a few years ago. We're very happy that we chose Market Ready for our home inspection, and feel even more confident with our home purchase.

I have hired Home Inspector Dave Hannan twice. Each time he has provided these services for me he has been very thorough, very friendly and has answered every question I've had. This was very important to me because I really like to understand things and he was happy to not only answer my questions but give advice. This gentleman is very knowledgeable and if I need to do any more inspections his number will stay in my phone. Both times I've used his services he has made every effort to come out quickly and has done so. Price is very reasonable I recommend calling him for any home inspections needed!

I highly recommend Dave Hannan from Market Ready Home Inspections. Dave was responsive and flexible when scheduling the inspection and arrived early and prepared the day of. David invited me to join him as he completed the inspection and was extremely professional and knowledgeable in all that he did. Dave was generous with his time, and more than willing to explain the home inspection process. As a first time home buyer, I found it very helpful that Dave was willing to discuss each item on his report with me and explain the significance of it, whether it was a safety hazard, something that could wait to be fixed, or simply cosmetic. The following morning I received a complete 84 page report from Dave that must have contained almost 200 photos. Dave had arrows on the photos to demonstrate exactly what and where his concerns were in certain areas, and this was extremely helpful. Despite having very little technical knowledge of how a house is put together, I was able to follow the report. Dave has been extremely helpful after the inspection as well, offering to discuss any questions my wife and I have. I highly recommend Dave and his company, and I would not hesitate to use Market Ready Home Inspections again.
