Home Inspector License #481 2004-2011 Senior Instructor for American Home Inspector Training. The largest home inspector training organization in the country. I have personally trained 100's of new home inspectors. Home buyers are highly encouraged to attend the home inspection, ask questions, and follow the inspector. This will provide the home buyer with the knowledge they need to make an educated decision in the home buying process.

I do not send out an employee like some other multi inspector firms do.

I called Lance to schedule a inspection which he returned the call within 5 hours. We scheduled a date and time. He arrived late at the property. He walked the house alone first and then shared a summary after. He followed up with a written report that was template driven with minor details. He promised a secondary inspection upon repair but then proceeded to charge for the re-inspection. Don't hire GSHI as there are more qualified and better services for a more reasonable price. The additional money is not worth it.
Description of Work: Lance inspected a house that we were purchasing. First of all he arrived late. That was frustrating as we coordinated schedules of mulitple individuals and we had to wait for him. He walked through the house and outside. He gave a summary level explanation of things and said he would write it in his report in detail. The detail was limiting and I was not happy with the quality of work provided for the price. Greater Seattle Home Inspectors are more expensive than other inspectors and are are not worth the extra money. I would suggest going with someone cheaper and save the $100 dollars or more. Additionally, in person he promised to come out and re-inspect a repair the home seller was going to performed. All parties involved heard the promise and when my realtor and I called Lance he then insisted on additional payment even though he was going to be in the area. My realtor felt so bad for the lie and deception that he paid the additional fee. That in the end left a bad feeling with regard to Greater Seattle Home Inspections. Save your money as you will get similar if not better service else where.
