What a great experience on the buyer’s side. I’m pretty good at finding things in these types of inspections, and the inspector found everything I noted and way beyond. I loved that you were very thorough and noted safety issues I was unaware existed. The inspector took time to walk me through most of their findings. I now have a great level of confidence moving forward with our purchase. Thank you!!
