| Robert, Rob
was very detailed with all his information and took the time to
answer all questions that he could answer. He is definitely one
of the more thorough inspectors that I have seen. I found Rob
and the report he provided extremely helpful. Rob pointed out
some items that may have been overlooked by other inspectors.
As an example, there was a furnace oil line that was buried under
the pavement. Rob clearly indicated that this should be inspected
by a TSSA inspector and changes made if required. As a result,
the seller had to remove the line and replace it with a new above-ground
line so that it met code. Without this, I would have purchased
the home not knowing this was not meeting code and potentially
had an issue on my hands. His information and report was excellent. Rob
was fantastic and did a thorough job. He definitely covered all
the bases and thanks to his expertise we are very confident we
made a great purchase. I will definitely recommend Rob and HomeCore
to friends and family. The
inspection and Rob were great! He is very professional - this
guy is very good! He answered all our questions with great insights.
We were very pleased by the service of your company. We should
have more house inspectors like your company. We
were VERY pleased with the level of service we received with our
home inspection. Rob was very thorough and took great care in
explaining the details to us. He gave us great tips for the future
maintenance and care of our home. I have already referred HomeCore
to a friend who is looking to buy a house! The
inspection went VERY well, exceeding all of our expectations.
Rob answered all of our questions very thoroughly in words we
could understand. We really appreciated Rob's extensive experience
and sharing his past observations as examples. We feel that the
fee for the inspection was well worth the value as we have gained
understanding in how to maintain our new home. We would definitely
recommend Rob and HomeCore to all of our family and friends looking
for a home inspection (in fact, Bonnie recommended HomeCore to
her co-worker who is scheduled for an inspection of her new home
this weekend). The
inspection with Rob went fantastically! As first time home buyers,
this has been an exciting time for us but, simultaneously, very
nerve-wracking. Rob helped to settle our nerves about the house
and explained everything in language that we would understand. We
found the warranty inspection to be exceptional. Worth every penny!!!
Rob spent a lot of time going over all the ins and outs of what
he was inspecting and explaining certain functions of the home.
We've actually passed along Homecore's information as referrals
to some of our friends in the neighbourhood and around the GTA.
Everyone looking for a great home inspector and Rob fits the bill. The
inspection went quite fine. Rob’s thoroughness is exactly what
we were looking for and is the reason we chose to use his services
again (I initially used him ~5years ago while purchasing my current
home). I
was thoroughly impressed and I thought the [inspection] was valuable.
Rob anticipated my questions and answered most of them before
I even had to ask. He took the time to explain things to me in
terms I could understand and, in my mind, went above and beyond
by showing me some basics around my condo. He provided his photos
in a very timely fashion. Overall, a more than valuable and also
pleasant experience. Rob's approach instills confidence and credibility,
yet also makes a person feel at ease. Rob
was extremely helpful for us. As first time home buyers there
were a lot of things that we didn't know to look for, or weren't
aware that we should be concerned with. He gave us a very technical
overview that helped us really grasp what we were doing. We were
very pleased with everything from the inspection itself, to the
scrutinizing details of the report. The book is great! Rob
answered our questions plus some! Rob was very thorough. While
our main concern was to hire an inspector for our 30day Tarion
warranty, Rob provided great advice on how to proceed with Tarion
and how to maintain our home overall for our own satisfaction.
Rob was recommended to us by a colleague of mine and we would
definitely recommend him to anyone. Rob
was very thorough in his presentation and with providing us as
much detail as he possibly could. We were very impressed with
his knowledge and his attention to detail. Rob
answered all our questions and was a true professional. The process
of selling and purchasing a new home is not an easy task. You
quickly learn to rely on people like Rob to assist. I really cannot
say enough about how honest and upfront Rob was in dealing with
us. I really appreciated it. Your assistance [Sheila] was unexpected
but greatly appreciated too! We
found all the inspection information provided relevant [for our
warranty inspection]. Also, the recommendations provided were
very helpful. Loved the binder and organizational techniques.
You guys are doing an awesome job. Thanks
again for doing my home inspection. I knew that Rob would be more
than thorough and he was. I also knew that he would look out for
my interests and take the time to explain things to me, which
he of course did. When Rob said it was a good place, I knew he
was saying it from a home inspection perspective as well as a
personal perspective as he knows me well. Just
to close the loop, Rob, my clients proceeded with the property
today. Funny story: when I told the agent about the knob and tube
he said they had [a well known company] inspect and they never
found any so there is no way there could be any. My words were
polite and along the lines of, “It’s possible they missed it just
as it’s possible my inspector misses something, but today he confirmed
there was knob and tube.” Well, the seller goes home and takes
off the outlet covers and sees that there is indeed knob and tube.
His agent called me back a few minutes ago and says, “My clients
are ready to negotiate and feel terrible about this situation
- and are livid with their home inspector.” I
would strongly recommend [a warranty inspection] to anyone that
has recently purchased a newly-built property. Rob is very knowledgeable
and experienced, and everything we could hope for from a home
inspector. We really appreciate a professional like him that takes
genuine interest in people's investment. We plan to pick up a
couple of investment properties in the next year or two, and we
are definitely going to use your service again. Please feel free
to use us as your reference (not that you guys need any!). Rob
was wonderful - professional and courteous. He took the time to
go through everything with me and explained things in a manner
that I could understand. He answered all my questions and I felt
confident going through with the purchase. I was very pleased
with my HomeCore experience. I
would like to say that Rob was great and took the time to explain
his thoughts in a matter that we, the homeowner, can understand.
I think your service is great and will 100% recommend your services
to others. Again I thought your service was grand. We
were very pleased with the whole process and Rob answered all
questions very thoroughly. I will add this is only the second
time we have been through the home inspection process, but this
experience was hands down much more detailed, descriptive / informative
and overall more professional than the first time. I would gladly
refer you to anyone looking for a home inspection. Rob
was great at going over all of my concerns and highlighting the
areas that need work. I like that he differentiated between what
needs immediate attention versus items to attend to as we go. Thank
Rob for us. His inspection was an important reason why we won
the bidding war. We had knowledge that others did not. The
[warranty] inspection that Rob did was great. He found things
that we never would have found on our own (which is why we hired
him), and he explained some of the things we should be looking
for. The great thing is the list he provided us, as well as the
discussion he had with us after he did the inspection. The binder
he provided us with is also very detailed, organized, and answers
a lot of questions that new homeowners like us have. We will definitely
recommend Homecore to all our family and friends. I
have to say Rob was absolutely terrific!! We left the house after
the inspection completely understanding the whole evaluation:
the process and the disclosure of his opinions. We will be contacting
you guys again should we buy as well as refer you guys to anyone
we know who is going through the same situation. Thank you so
much. Rob
did a wonderful job with the inspection and answered all of our
questions. He was very thorough and after the inspection he emailed
us pictures to better explain what he had described to us. Overall,
we had a great experience with HomeCore! Rob
did a great job in answering all of our questions and concerns.
The inspection was thorough and very informative! It was a pleasure
working with your company and we will refer you to any of our
friends that are purchasing in the future. Spectacular
inspector. We greatly appreciate the extra tips that Rob provided. We
found the information provided to us by Rob to be extremely helpful.
He gave us a good idea of the state of the home and what needs
to be done, and clear explanation of issues/ramifications. Honestly… you
totally exceeded my expectations. I seriously don't know how you
do all this for only $483?? Easily worth $600 and I'll be passing
your name along... you can count on it. I wish everyone I had
to pay for anything was as meticulous as this. Robert
was excellent! Emily and I were more than pleased with the job
he performed. He was beyond thorough and answered many questions
that we had. He gave us excellent pointers to look out for when
we move in to our new house. He even got us back some money on
the closing price to repair a minor deficiency that he astutely
found in the ventilation system. We
were very happy with our home inspection and with Rob. He more
than covered our questions, he answered them before we even thought
to ask them. We especially liked the binder and how everything
was organized for us to look back on. Rob
certainly answered all of my questions and more. The electrical,
structural and plumbing explanations were well done and put my
mind at ease. I was very impressed with how thorough and conscientious
he was! Rob
answered all of our questions and then some. The inspection was
quite informative, especially because we are from the US and inspections
there pale in comparison. Overall it was great! I will definitely
recommend your services to anyone who is buying a new home. I
wanted to thank you [Sheila] and Rob for all your help and assistance
with this home inspection. We were very pleased with the inspection;
Rob was incredibly detailed and thorough, and gave us many tips
on how to properly care for our home, such as the explanations
of safety features and which ones require the most attention.
We are also very pleased with the Home Inspection Report; it was
incredibly detailed and informative. The
inspection went well. Rob was great, he was very informative and
explained himself well. I am impressed with Rob’s knowledge
of homes and all of its components. He is very good at what he
does and I will definitely consider recommending him to my clients
in the future. Thank you for setting up the appointment so quickly
and I hope to continue doing business with you in the future. It
was such a pleasure working with Rob. He answered all questions
I had. He covered so much there was little for me to ask about.
I am still working my way through the book. It’s a wonderful
resource! I will probably have a few more questions for Rob -
unless of course I come upon the answers in my reading - but I
especially want to talk to him on the solar heating of the pool
that he did so much research on. The
home inspection was a great first time experience. Rob was very
thorough and explained as much as possible to help educate us
as first time condo buyers. As the condo has never been lived
in, the inspection was relatively quick and straight forward.
Rob pointed out a few minor areas of caution, but nothing too
serious. We
really liked Rob. He has an easy and approachable manner. Most
importantly, he explained things in lay terms that were easy for
us to understand (without making it sound like he was talking “down” to
us). I liked the way that he explained all of the criteria for
the home inspection and the sections of the binder first before
doing the walk through of the house itself. I found it much easier
to understand his process. That, in turn, made it easier to understand
the house – which is the main thing. A
lot of [the decision to purchase the house] was based on Rob’s
House Inspection. He took the time to answer all of my questions
along with arousing questions that I did not even think about.
Further to that, he was able to help me understand some costs
of things that we will be performing on the house, e.g., re-shingling.
Great job on the House Inspection, I was overly impressed and
will try to recommend Rob when anyone I know going through this
process. The
home inspection that Rob did for us was fantastic. Being first
time home buyers we weren’t even sure what questions we
should be asking. Rob was very knowledgeable and put our minds
at ease right from the start. He spoke on our level and was very
patient with all of our questions. We would definitely recommend
him to any of our friends. Rob
was amazing. Both myself and our real estate agent Ron were quite
impressed with Rob’s very thorough inspection. He also gave
us some great tips and advice for the repairs and maintenance
of the house. The
inspection went well and we were quite pleased. Rob seemed to
be very knowledgeable and appeared to complete a very in-depth
review of the home and its various components. He was most definitely
able to answer all of our questions and offered valuable advice
about further information we could try to obtain from the sellers.
Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the quality of service
provided. The
inspection went very well. Rob was very good in explaining to
us all of his findings in detail and, when something needed some
fixing-up, what our options were and possible consequences of “ignoring” the
problem. He was very thorough and answered all of our questions. Hi
Rob, Everything
went very well with the home inspection. Rob answered all of our
questions and a whole lot more; we were so impressed with him
and the whole process. We learned quite a lot. Rob
was very detailed and thorough, and his report did make the purchase
of both houses much less stressful and more enjoyable. I appreciate
the fact that he answered many of our questions ranging from maintenance
issues to future renovations related issues, as well as some general
questions about building codes. I feel comfortable passing Rob’s
reference to anyone else that may require his services. First
of all, I’d like to say that Amanda and I were very pleased with
our home inspection. Rob provided us with a lot of useful information,
and answered all of the questions that we had. We are confident
that we have made a good choice with the help of your inspection. I
had a home inspection done by Rob and was very satisfied with
the end results. He answered all my questions, explained things
to me in a context which I could understand, and gave me tips
on how to maintain my home inside as well as outside. There
is no question that Rob is very knowledgeable and he took great
care to ensure that we understood what he was talking about. All
questions or concerns were addressed by Rob. Even so, Rob said
that we could call him if we had any more questions. Although
I work in the construction industry, I would not have been able
to assess our home in such detail as Rob did. There is definitely
value in a home inspection and I would recommend to others that
they do an inspection as well. The
inspection went well, Rob was very informative and whatever questions
we had he was able to answer them. I did end up purchasing the
house and now, thanks to Rob, I know what needs to be done to
make improvements on the home. We
may sell houses and conduct home inspections, but we are both
really in the business of helping people. You've got a great service
attitude Sheila and Robert is one of the best home inspectors
around. Always my first recommendation for a purchaser’s
home inspection. First,
let me just thank you, Sheila, for accommodating our home inspection
day so promptly. Everything went wonderfully; Rob answered all
our questions and then some. Thanks again to Rob for all his hard
work. Rob
did a phenomenal job, which gave us the confidence in knowing
we made the right purchase decision. He was able to provide answers
that had not even occurred to us. He was thorough and very clear
in his explanations. We're very satisfied with the service we
received. Rob
was very knowledgeable & did answer any questions we had (as
well, he knew the answers to questions we didn't even know we
should ask). We feel that it was a good decision to have a professional
do the PDI/warranty inspection and that we got value for our money. I
found Rob's inspection really thorough and very helpful. Especially
helpful was the inspection book he gave us. Not only does this
help to map out problems and issues with the house, but it also
gives us a map and a game plan for the future. Everything
was great and Rob was very thorough and explained everything in
detail. We were both very impressed with the depth of the inspection
and are purchasing the home with confidence that all of the work
needed was identified during the inspection. Rob
answered our questions, very thoroughly, detailed, and well explained
I might add. Our main concern was for the inspector to have the
time to do his aspect of the inspection and create an exhaustive
report, which is exactly what Rob did. Everything
went very well, better than we had expected. Rob answered all
our questions and more. He was very informative and detailed and
providing actual photos really helped explain things and verify
with the builder. Firstly,
the inspection was the best 400 bucks we’ve spent in a long
time! I don’t normally write cheques that large while smiling! Truly
a pleasure meeting with you, and thank you for your patience and
for sharing your breadth of knowledge with me. I certainly learned
much in terms of important issues - and I feel more confident
with the sale of my house. Rob
was great… he answered all of our questions and even gave
us so many tips and information that we can use in the future.
We think that the warranty inspection was worth it and we are
actually very happy he didn't find very significant problems in
our house and like we told Rob, it gave us peace of mind finding
that everything was pretty much ok and that only a few things
needed to get done and fixed. I
just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for the
outstanding service that you provided to John and I this morning.
Normally a PDI is a tense, anxious and sometimes exciting time
for new homeowners. You took the time to reassure us with the
information and detail that you provided. Additionally, you made
us feel very comfortable to voice our concerns and it was great
to know that you were on our side! The
inspection ran extremely smoothly. Rob was very knowledgeable
and helpful with all his information. We will definitely refer
him to friends and family. First
I would like to say thanks for a wonderful home inspection experience.
It was our first home inspection and we did not know what to expect
from it. Rob did an excellent job inspecting our future house;
it went above and beyond our expectations. We learnt a lot about
what to expect with a house that age as well as the steps to take
to maintain it. Rob
was fantastic!! I love his approach and how he put everything
into "layman" terms. The binder will be a great reference
to get a few items updated / fixed in the near future. I would
recommend Rob to family and friends without hesitation. Rob's
report was extensive and as a result we took a long hard look
at the house and its shortcomings regarding the renovations. Some
renovations were not done to code and the vendor was unable to
provide evidence of any permits or inspections. We chose not to
purchase the home. We think Rob is an excellent inspector and
will use him again as we keep looking for the home for us. Our
inspection went very well. Rob was most informative & gave
us some very good info on the caring & maintaining a house...
some of which I'm sad to say didn't even occur to us even though
we've owned our current home for almost 20 years!!! Once again,
we were very pleased with the service we received from Rob and
would not hesitate to recommend your office to others. Rob
did a great job, he really explained everything thoroughly from
any actual issues right down to his methodology for the assessment.
He gave some helpful maintenance tips and we plan on using the
binder to help us keep on top of things at our new home. Dear
Rob, The
inspection was great. Rob was fantastic. Thanks for everything.
Your services were great and we will pass your info on to anyone
else we know who may need them. Thanks
for the advice and the tip for dealing with the fence. You are
most welcome for the referral! I recall doing a lot of research
to find you and, as you know, we were happy with your home inspection
services. The after sales follow-up is definitely appreciated
as well. The
inspection went very well, as expected. Rob answered all our questions.
He is truly a professional individual. He inspected every detail
that we expected from a home inspection. A few individuals had
mentioned we do not need a home inspection, but it is peace of
mind. Money well spent. The
inspection went very well. Rob was informative and my son enjoyed
the experience with him. As a first time home buyer he was very
both excited and anxious to hear just how well the home had been
maintained in the past. Rob spoke with both Kyle and I in a way
that we could understand the needs and issues that may arise in
the future. Overall it was a great experience. Everything
went great with the inspection. Rob answered all of our questions
and had a number of helpful suggestions. I must say I was very
impressed on the emphasis Rob placed on the privacy of our information
in regards to future marketing and contact. Rob
was great and answered all of our questions. The home report was
excellent and extremely detailed. His findings led to an investigation
by a plumbing service regarding basement moisture, a problem which
is currently being corrected. All in all, it was well worth the
time and expense. We certainly appreciate your help. Rob
was excellent and answered all my questions. I was also impressed
with his extensive knowledge in the field on home construction. Maria
and I would like to say thanks for your professionalism and for
the above-expected quality of service you provided during our
PDI today, especially the things that went unnoticed by us, but
not by Rob. Both of us were very impressed. Rob
was wonderful. He certainly answered all of our questions, and
had answers to questions we never even thought we had! He also
made himself available in the future if we ever had any other
questions or concerns. Thanks again and we will definitely refer
any friends or family who may require your services. I
thought Rob was very thorough and detailed in his assessment and
description of his findings. I feel that the whole process was
applicable. Each piece of information was relevant and informative.
Greatly appreciated! I will be a return customer for sure. Thank
you for your professionalism and expertise in handling two home
inspections for which I was the buying agent. I enjoy working
with you and calling your office – Sheila is amazing. Rob
was great -- very informative! This was our 1st inspection and
he explained everything to us, including what to look for in the
future (maintenance). We're used to condo life, so "downspouts" was
just something I'd heard of on HGTV, but never really thought
about. We also appreciate that Rob gave us his card, so we can
contact him with any further questions we might have (it was a
lot to take in all at once). Rob
answered all of our questions. We found him to be sincere and
trustworthy and we really appreciated his apparent caring. We
were able to weigh the information he provided us and came to
the decision not to finalize the deal. We consider ourselves lucky
to have been through this process--we learned a lot and feel better
equipped to pre-judge the houses we continue to view. Obviously
our new found pre-judging capabilities are by no means equivalent
to a house inspection so we would definitely be interested in
using Rob's services again and the no-book discount you mentioned. Rob
answered all of our questions and more. We truly appreciated his
professionalism and assistance. He caught two major issues that
we did not catch. We renegotiated the pricing to reflect the repair/upgrade
we would have to make and, in the end, the vendors agreed to a
half way point of $ 2,500.00. Just
wanted to thank you for the great job you did for me yesterday.
Your ability to present home deficiencies to purchasers without
scaring clients makes you a great inspector! The client was extremely
happy with your services and the information you provided for
him. Much success this year and thanks again! Robert
was fantastic!! He covered all the bases and was extremely thorough.
We have already started to recommend him to all our friends and
family looking to buy in the near future. I really appreciated
the information and expert advice. We are very excited and can't
wait to move in. Rob
was very helpful. He answered Danny’s questions and went
over the inspection report with him in great detail. The binder
Rob provided has a wealth of information for us to review. Thanks
again for the great service. We will always refer friends to HOMECORE. Rob
was fantastic. He did an excellent job of describing the home
to us. Sadly, we were unsuccessful in our offer to purchase this
particular home. We would definitely use Homecore in the future,
as we are still actively looking to purchase. Rob's
inspection and review with us was one of the reasons we felt so
confident in the amount with which we eventually won the bid.
After his personal inspection he took us through the house and
explained each major section of the report, his findings, and
his recommendations. Thoroughly professional and very personable,
we would recommend Rob to anyone we know needing home inspection
services. The
house inspection was more than I expected. Rob did a fabulous
job and answered all my questions and concerns. Rob was very thorough
and provided me with comprehensive documentation of his findings. Everything
with the inspection was great. Rob was very thorough and explained
everything to us that was unclear to us. We had lots of questions
and Rob answered them all. Rob
was AWESOME!! He was very thorough. He answered all of Garrett's
questions and concerns. I don't think we could have gotten a better
inspection by anyone else. We are very happy with the amount of
time and care he took with the inspection. We would definitely
recommend your services to our friends (and we have). Everything
went great with the home inspection. Rob answered all my questions
to my satisfaction and did a really good job of explaining details
of the home inspection at a level that I could understand. My
agent was also very impressed with Rob. Sadly, there were 11 offers
on the house and I was not the lucky bidder. I will definitely
hang onto the report, as I fully intend to use your services the
next time I plan to put an offer in for a house. Rob
was great. He answered all our questions. Your service was excellent.
Would recommend to all my friends. You guys do a really good job!!
Really felt Rob was an extra miler in terms of service and support. The
inspection went very well. We were very pleased with Rob's service.
He answered all our questions and even more - I mean he gave us
all the details about the condition of the house and advice in
terms of future maintenance. All
of our questions were answered during the home inspection that
Rob did for us. And yes, we were finally the lucky bidders. I
was very pleased with Rob's thoroughness and patience in explaining
anything that I was not familiar with. I will definitely recommend
HomeCore to friends and family. Rob
was great help. The inspection was illuminating. It was a really
great experience, and we will be using his report to guide us
through immediate repairs and then maintaining the house in the
future. Thank
you for following up. It’s great to get personalized service
and to know that you aren’t forgotten. The inspection went
really well and Rob did a fantastic job of explaining everything
to me, and answering all questions. Overall, I am very pleased
with the services provided and would definitely recommend HomeCore
to my friends and family! Rob
was very helpful and informative and thorough which was great
as we are new to the 'home buying' process. We would like you
to know that we would have no hesitations using Rob and Homecore
again in the future and will definitely refer others to HomeCore
as well. Thank you as well, Sheila, for your help and assistance...
it was a pleasure to speak with you and you were most helpful
in helping us to schedule/arrange the inspection. Everything
went very well with the inspection. Our expectations were met
and exceeded. Rob was fantastic! He answered all our questions
and more. He was very knowledgeable and really helped us to understand
what he was trying to explain. We really appreciate all that HomeCore
has done to help us make such an important decision. We feel very
comfortable with our home purchase, especially after the overall
inspection rating. Rob
answered all of our questions in a very competent and professional
manner. It is obvious that Rob cares a great deal about his job,
and that is very comforting with such a major purchase. We
were both very impressed with Rob's professionalism, and his knowledge
regarding the inspection and home maintenance in general. We have
already recommended your service to friends of ours. Rob
did a great job on the home inspection for us! He was professional
but also friendly in answering the questions we had! Rob pointed
out many items and suggested corrective action options for us
and gave us some time lines that we very helpful. The
inspection went very well. I felt Rob was very thorough and provided
me with a lot of details and information (helpful for a first
time home owner). We were not the lucky bidders, however a just
a few days later we engaged Rob yet again for another inspection...
this time we were the lucky bidders. Again, I was very comfortable
with Rob's assessment. I was not able to be there for the walkthrough,
but he took time to walk thorough it with me over the phone while
on site and answered all my questions. Rob
was great. He was very thorough and took us through his findings
at a pace which made us feel very comfortable. He was great at
answering all our questions and was very knowledgeable in all
aspects of the home. He made us aware of what we needed to be
cautious of and what he thought was acceptable. Rob was very professional
at all times and we were very thankful for having him onsite to
help us with the Home Inspection. Rob
was wonderful, informative, and very patient with us. Rob answered
all our questions, and was kind enough to let us know that we
could call him in the future, and that "no question is silly". Unfortunately
we didn't get the house as another party out bid us. However,
we were extremely pleased with Rob's work - he was thorough, knowledgeable
and a very pleasant person. He took the time to explain anything
we didn't understand and I felt that he was honest with us and
that he didn't cut any corners which we really appreciated. Rob
was very thorough and detailed throughout the inspection. I showed
my boss (who is a builder) the inspection book - he was impressed
- had never seen one done like that before - also he was impressed
with the estimated costs for repairs - pretty accurate. I will
certainly recommend your company. The
home inspection was fantastic. Rob is very knowledgeable and was
able to share a lot of detailed information with us. I have never
gone through a home inspection before, but I thought he was very
thorough. I really appreciate the full service that is provided. Rob
made us feel very comfortable; we walked away at the end of the
inspection feeling very well informed. As new "old home" buyers
we didn't know exactly what to expect with an older home. Rob's
explanation of all the details, from attic insulation to plumbing
and everything in-between, was very informative and unbiased.
We now feel comfortable knowing what areas of the house will need
priority repairs and which can wait until a later date. You have
provided us with the facts we needed to know to move ahead with
our decision to purchase this property. We would be more than
happy to recommend you to anyone we know requiring this type of
service. Rob
answered all of our questions and then some. He was extremely
professional and thorough in his inspection. Not only did he inspect
our home and made us confident of our decision but also gave us
a time line and plan for future maintenance and suggested changes.
We are very glad we hired him for the job. We actually know and
appreciate the difference between a 'real' inspection and just
an 'inspection.' Thank you so much for your help. I'm going to
recommend you to anybody I know who needs an inspection. I really
appreciate your follow-ups and hope to continue our relationship
with your company. We
felt Rob did an excellent job of the inspection, and in helping
us make our final decision. Rob answered all of our questions,
and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thanks again
for all of your help. We have a lot of peace of mind, with this
property, largely thanks to Rob's inspection. The
inspection went very well and Rob was very thorough in explaining
all the issues with the house. The seller agreed to address most
of the issues of concern and my wife and I finalized the purchase.
I will be referencing the report a lot in order to address some
of the minor issues. Rob did an excellent job and his report has
proven to be an invaluable service. We would like to thank Homecore
for providing this service. The
inspection was great and we were very happy with Rob’s services.
Rob addressed all of our concerns and we felt comfortable moving
forward based on his thoughts and recommendations. You can be
sure that if any one requests the name of a good house inspector,
Rob will be the person we recommend. Everything
went well with the inspection. Wayne was very pleased with Rob,
all questions were answered and Wayne found him to be attentive
to detail. We will refer him to others since he did such a great
job. Rob
was excellent, he provided me with great information on our house.
It pays to work with a qualified/registered home inspector. As
well, I am planning on changing careers into Real Estate within
the next 6-12 months and would be passing along your name to future
clients of mine. I was really impressed with HomeCore and glad
to recommend you to my future clients. Everything
went well with the inspection. Rob was professional, friendly
and very informative. He addressed all of our questions thoroughly
and without confusion. We are very pleased with the service that
was provided and will recommend his service highly. Just
wanted to take a moment to email you about how happy I always
am with your services at HomeCore. Hi,
Sheila, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for arranging
Mr. Rob Hermann to conduct our inspection. It was our first experience
in having a home inspection. We enjoyed this experience, as Rob
went through the inspection process and provided us with tips
on the maintenance of our home. The report will be handy for our
home maintenance. Rob
answered all of our questions, and answered a lot we wouldn't
have even thought to ask. Very pleased with the inspection and
the supplementary data that was provided. The maintenance schedules
will be especially helpful as we're first-time buyers. We ended
up finalizing the deal two days later and used the information
from the inspection to negotiate a lower price with the sellers,
so the inspection definitely paid off. Our
inspection was great. Honestly, it was a little scary for us as
first-time home buyers, since we hadn't really anticipated how
things can add up so quickly. Rob
was great. He answered all of our questions. As a first time home
buyer I had no idea what was about to happen and before I could
ask him, he beat me to it!! He started off introducing himself,
what he does and what he was about to do in his inspection. He
was also very helpful in explaining his findings. Rob was very
professional and I would recommend him and your company to anyone. We
have purchased a number of homes and the review that Rob undertook
was quite comprehensive, which is very much appreciated. Many
have suggested that you shouldn’t need a home inspection
for a new house, but Rob proves that advice is mistaken. While
it is always nice to know your home is well built (as he suggested
ours is) it is also very helpful to know where the builder has
taken some short cuts, or perhaps has yet to deliver what is ultimately
required (and is captured in Rob’s suggestions for the PDI).
Purchasing a house is a “peace of mind game” and Rob’s
inspection went a long way to confirm that we had purchased the
right house. The completeness of the binder should also be a very
useful tool in ensuring that we continue to get much enjoyment
from our home for years to come. The helpful hints and tips will
become part of our spring and fall cleaning rituals. We
felt that Rob was very thorough with the inspection and answered
all our questions beyond our expectations. We were very impressed
with the structured method of the inspection and the structure
of the report. The inspection report exceeded our expectations
- we were expecting a 5-page report, but instead got a very detailed
report that was extremely well organized and easier to follow
than we had expected. Rob
was recommended to us by my aunt and now I know why. I will be
recommending Rob in the future. He was absolutely wonderful! He
is methodical and explains everything. He is a pleasure to work
with. It’s not too often you find people who take such pride
in their work. Thanks
so much, Rob. My clients were so impressed with your services.
Alex's dad even called me later to say how grateful he was that
you would take so much time explaining everything to them. I
was very satisfied with the inspection. Rob was very thorough & took
the time to explain things to me so that I understood everything.
Because it was an older house I was a little nervous about what
he might find, and was relieved by his report. My agent, Susan
Gunn (Century 21 Premier Realty) , recommended him and I felt
confident in his abilities. I would definitely recommend him to
others. Rob
was excellent, he walked us through the house, pointed out any
potential problems. He was more than willing to take whatever
time was necessary to answer any and all questions. He conducted
himself in a very professional and friendly manner. I will not
hesitate to use him in the future, should the need arise and will
recommend his services to others. Your
report helped tremendously and the vendor agreed to all the requested
changes and deficiency repairs. We will be recommending your service
to our friends. I
was so pleased with Rob's most thorough inspection. I feel he
left no stone unturned in inspecting my house, and I was able
to go forward and finalize the sale with confidence. I also was
grateful for his explanation of all the working/electrical/structural
parts of my home. I feel that I can now live in this house with
confidence. Janny
and I would like to thank you for inspecting our home this past
Sunday. The inspection was both informative and very thorough.
We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and
feel free to use us as a referral. Thanks for the excellent home
inspection. We
appreciated Robert's dedication to his role as a home inspector
and excellent knowledge in the building industry; Robert's comprehensive
detail and excellent delivery of the home inspection report; and
the comfort level one feels with Robert in asking questions and
getting direct comprehensive responses. Rob
was fantastic and very professional. As we are first time home
buyers, we were unsure of what to expect and Rob was able to walk
us through the process and answer all of our questions. The report
is a great resource tool, and gave us the confidence to go ahead
with our purchase. We also plan on recommending Rob to any of
our friends and family who require a home inspector – he
was great to work with. We
were very happy with Rob's service. He was very patient, organized
and professional. We definitely will use your service again when
we make our next purchase. As a matter of fact, I have already
mentioned Rob's name to my friend who will be buying more rental
properties in the future. My real estate agent was impressed,
too. Rob
was, without question, one of the most professional businessmen
I have dealt with in a very long time. He was thorough, informative
and helpful. I will no doubt recommend him to anyone looking for
a home inspection. Pass along our thanks and ask him how the TV
show is going. The
service was unbelievably superb. I learned so much. The layout
of the book and timelines and suggestions are wonderful. Rob was
a wealth of great info, over and above the inspection!! Rob gave
me great all-around advice for maintenance and safety issues. Rob
was amazing! He was so informative and he made us feel so comfortable
telling us in a simpler form all about our house. We feel like
we know our new house well!!!! That binder is amazing! Rob
was so helpful in both our decision to not complete the deal on
the first house, and our decision to go ahead and purchase the
house we did buy. Rob
was extremely helpful throughout the inspection and he offered
invaluable information about the preparation of my own home for
sale. I was very impressed and would have no hesitation in recommending
his services to my friends and family. Good
morning Sheila & Rob, just a quick note to thank you both
very much for your assistance in arranging and inspecting our
new home! Rob
instills confidence when relaying information. He was very thorough
and forthcoming. Of most value we found the pointing out of work
that needs to be done immediately. We received excellent advice
on directions to go to get the work done. We appreciated learning
about what aspects can wait, allowing for prioritizing and budgeting.
Rob is excellent at what he does. HomeReport
is thoroughly organized, and will provide us with essential information
pertaining to maintenance. As a first-time homebuyer, this will
be helpful. Rob gave in-depth explanations to our questions. The
use of the video for the roof inspection is excellent. It helps
to understand. No part of the inspection was irrelevant. Excellent
service, money well spent! Thanks! I
just wanted to say a "huge thanks" for your extra visits
to verify the electrical panel stuff after I had the first visit
by an electrician. Justine & I both really appreciated the
professional & personal service - meant a lot to us as first
time homebuyers. Your service was above and beyond anything I
would have expected and noting your professional pride too, I
would highly recommend HomeCore (I'm copying our realtor, John
Helfrich from Re/Max Hallmark - hope that's OK). We
were really impressed with Rob's knowledge and experience, especially
his thoroughness to inspect our future home. We loved the binder
as well as the email after the inspection to tell us about the
garage door opener. Keep up the good work. The
inspector was excellent at translating and explaining issues/situations
in a manner that was easily understood. Helping us understand
insurance troubles and repairs required was also helpful. We
were extremely satisfied with the home inspection. It was professional
and comprehensive and was above our expectations. The inspection
was meticulous and well warranted. The inspector was patient and
thorough. We put an offer on the home but did not get it. We will
definitely use your services in the future and highly recommend
your company to our friends and clients. As
first time homeowners, there was so much to know. Rob went through
everything very thoroughly - all our questions were answered.
Knowing we can be in touch down the road is very comforting. After
receiving Rob's report we were happy to purchase the property.
Rob is a consummate professional, and we are extremely happy to
have used his services, and we will definitely be spreading the
word. I
have yet to see an inspector so sincere and honest as Rob Hermann.
He thoroughly covered everything I expected. I enjoyed his professionalism
and presentation. Thank you. Rob
Hermann inspected our house for us, and our realtor, who was present,
said Rob was probably the most thorough inspector he'd ever come
across. Rob raised some concerns about the aluminum wiring and
advised us to get an electrician in to tie copper ends on so that
this wiring would no longer be a concern. My initial reaction
was “big deal, a lot of houses have aluminum wiring. My
parents have aluminum wring and they have had no problems”,
but after discussing the potential risks we decided to be on the
safe side and take Rob's advice. Being
a first-time buyer I was nervous before the inspection, but Rob
put all my worries to rest. He has excellent people skills. I
felt very confident in Rob's abilities - he simply lays it all
out and let's you decide. The HomeReport binder is a terrific
addition. I will definitely track my new purchase with it. Thank
you for such a thorough job! We
were very pleased and impressed with our inspection, particularly
in comparison to previous inspections by others. We found the
information provided about potential maintenance issues to be
the most relevant for us. We
were very satisfied with all aspects of the inspection process,
especially as this was for our one-year warranty inspection. We
were very impressed with the service that we received and as a
result would have absolutely NO problem in recommending your service
to friends and family members should they be looking for someone. Rob
was recommended to us from a friend of ours who had just had their
warranty inspection done. Rob did our warranty inspection, and
it was fantastic! Best money I ever spent. Thank
you, Rob. Both Robert and I were thoroughly impressed and enjoyed
learning about our new home, despite the minor surprises. Thank
you for taking the time to answer all of our questions and to
provide the much-needed detail we were looking for. |
