Realty Check Inspection Service

Quick scheduling, prompt arrival, thorough inspection, excellent follow through and a decent price. What more could I ask for?

Peter was recommended to us by our trusted buyer's agent to perform a home inspection on our new-build home that we are purchasing. I called on Monday and he was able to fit us in on Friday afternoon. I asked a lot of questions over the phone during our initial call, to make sure that he was the inspector I wanted to hire, and he gave very thorough answers and made sure I understood what to expect. He was very clear on his price quote, and even gave us a military discount. For the square footage of our home (just under 2,000), he normally charges $375, but he gave us $25 off to make it $350. On the day of the inspection, Peter arrived early and was very professional and polite. He got to work right away, took lots of pictures, and communicated with us about any major things that he saw along the way. He offered suggestions as to how to remedy any problems that he saw, instead of just noting the problem itself. He was just as thorough in inspecting our brand-new home as he would have inspected a used home, and I appreciated that. His service included home inspection, pest, and gas leak check. He spent a little over 2 hours on our inspection. Peter's report came very quickly - he did the inspection at 4pm and I had his full report and summary report in my email inbox by 8:30pm that same night. Since our home was new construction, the builder had agreed to address any issues noted on the home inspection report before our final walkthrough, so his promptness was greatly appreciated in that sense. He worked with me to make sure that the summary report was done exactly to my liking so that the builder could fix the issues. The report was very thorough, and included pictures of any issues that he saw accompanying his written description. Additionally, I asked Peter to come back to the house the following week before our final walkthrough to re-inspect the crawlspace to make sure that the issues he had found down there (extra layer of vapor barrier and leftover construction debris) had been taken care of. Despite my giving him only a day's notice for this request, he found time to fit this into his schedule and did not charge me for the follow-up check. Overall, I was VERY pleased with Peter from Realty Check. He was prompt, professional, and his pricing was clear and fair. He answered my questions clearly and made sure I understood his answers, and he responded to my emails and phone calls quickly. I plan to use him again to perform our 11-month home inspection, and would recommend him without hesitation.

Inspection over-all went well. He will kill you on the bill. If you decide to use this service, get the quote and or pricing in writing FIRST before you proceed. If I were you, I wouldn't go with this guy at all, I mean if he will con you out of your cash, what else is not sacred to him.
