Buyer's Inspection Service

We inquired about availability for an inspection early in the morning and received a very prompt response. The inspector, Erick Gohlke, was very informative and professional - he toured us around the property, pointed out marks against the home, and gave some background into the issues and intricacies of the home.We received our inspection report under 3 hours after Erick completed the inspection - very quick.If we are to buy in the area again we will be 100% returning to Buyer's Inspection Service and will request Erick!

We first used Buyers Inspection Service to inspect a home we were interested in buying 5 years ago. David Roche was our inspector and he was WONDERFUL! He was very thorough and walked me through the home to explain everything he inspected and point out areas of concern. This meant so much to me because my husband was deployed at the time and I was doing all of the buying processes by myself. He was very friendly and personable and made sure I understood everything he was talking about. Unfortunately we backed out of that house because the owners were unwilling to fix the major problems that the house had. When we found another home of interest, we called Buyer's Inspection Service again because we were very pleased with their services the first time around. I specifically requested David because he was wonderful and I knew he would do a great job with the inspection and explaining things to me. Now, 5 years later we have found our forever home and yet again we called David! I will definitely be recommending Buyer's Inspection Service and David to anyone that is in need of a home inspection. Thank you for your service!

The inspector was very thorough in both the inspection itself and making sure I understood the issues he found. Highly recommended.

1722461430

Fast. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Couldn't ask for a better inspector. Even detected a major gas leak! Thank you!

1722387536

Ryan did a fantastic job on our inspection, guided us away from an unnecessary test with confidence that the material in the house didn't contain asbestos, but also saved us from a project house that we didn't realize was going to be a project house. His eye for detail and articulating the larger issues that cracks could be hiding was invaluable ultimately in making sure we got the right experts to review the property.

1722101000

Excellent communication and availability. Easy to read report. Have used them twice with no complaints!

1722098126

Ryan was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. He drew attention to a few areas of concern and helped us find the right contractors to take care of the work needing to be done. Ryan was great at explaining his findings and his report was very thorough, including pictures with each issue. I highly recommend Buyer’s Inspections Services.

1722097692

Great experience!

1722096028

In my 20 years in the real estate business and as a buyer and seller this guy was the most knowledgeable and professional. Very happy with the service.

1722095689

Inspector did an amazing job. He was thorough and detailed.

1722027450

Very professional! As a first time home buyer the inspection process was completely new to me. My inspector Erick walked me through and showed me everything that was important on that would be on the report. The report itself was easy to understand. 5 stars! Definitely recommend.

1721218039

Prompt, professional, and extremely thorough. My inspector, Ryan, spent over two hours in the inspection and then spent another hour walking me through the results and helping me understand my options. Lastly, they have a wonderful resource of a larger list of recommended contractors they have worked with right on their website. Great experience and would recommend/use again!

1721056558

100% satisfied and really, really impressed with the detail Ryan White went through for our home inspection. He left nothing out in the report, and helped us avoid some major pitfalls. He, along with the entire Buyer's Inspection Service team were an immense help and eased the concerns we had in buying our home. Ryan had a great recommendation for a reputable contractor that helped us get the needed work done before the closing. Five star service from BIS and Ryan.

Ryan inspected our house before purchase. He was professional and thorough and did a complete walk-thru with us to explain his results. He was very kind and also took time to answer all of our questions. Thanks Ryan!

1717673343

Ryan was very thorough and his report was in our email within hours of finishing the inspection. Highly recommend!

1717203970

I cannot begin to say enough great things about this company! Prior to selecting a company, I did a lot of research and Buyer's Inspection Service stood out from the rest. I loved they were a 1 stop shop for all my needs. From my phone calls with Evalina, to first meeting Erick, then meeting the owner David, it is very apparent they go above and beyond in customer service! During the inspection, Erick was extremely thorough! Prior to leaving the property, Erick patiently walked me through the finds in the report and answered any questions I had. Highly recommend!!!

1717120250

Great experience with this inspector he took me through every crevice of my new home I appreciate all of his advice the things that need to be done and repaired I learned a lot about how houses should be

"Exceptional service from start to finish! Ryan White at Buyers Inspection Service provided thorough and professional service during our recent home inspection. The team was prompt, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable, addressing all our concerns with patience and expertise. The detailed report we received was easy to understand and gave us peace of mind as we move forward with our home purchase. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable home inspection!"

Ryan was great and gave us an entire walkthrough of the house. Very professional and very nice!

1710906414

Ryan was very professional and thorough!

1709939443

I have been working with Buyers Inspection Service for several years as a real estate agent. They are on time, professional, and do a phenomenal job! Evalina is an amazing office coordinator and Ryan is amazing inspector. I can't say enough good things about this company!

1709382779

Erick is amazing. We are extremely satisfied and thankful for how thorough and informative he was. Looks can be deceiving. We are first time home buyers and Erick saved my family and I from making what could have been a very detrimental investment. We will definitely be giving him a call for any future inspections.

1706388571

We were very happy with Erick, who performed our new build, pre-drywall, home inspection. He took the time to "kick the tires" and really investigate the home, as well as helped us push back on leaks in the basement that were being blown off as residual water. Additionally, he shared information with us through the process. This along with his energy for his work gave us a lot of confidence in his work. We plan on utilizing Erick again for a final home inspection!

1705879335

Very happy with the service we received from Buyer’s Inspection Service. David did an amazing job explaining every detail of the inspection report. From setting the appointment to meeting the inspector, everything was seamless, professional, and very thorough. David also helped provide honest feedback which we greatly appreciated because it is hard to find. We will definitely use this company again!

1705676682

This place is amazing!! We decided to pick our own inspection service instead of going with the recommended service from our realtor and boy oh boy are we happy! From the very beginning they were doing everything they could to help save me money and give me a quality inspection. They even called once they started the inspection to tell us of a big problem, and said if this was a deal breaker they'd stop the inspection and we could get most of our money back. Their work is beyond thorough, and for once during the home buying experience it didn't feel like someone was trying to scam me, trick me, or coerce me. Buyer's Inspection Service truly feels like one of the last companies that isn't just out to squeeze you for every last dollar to your name. If you live in Dayton, don't go to anyone else! I'm blown away by their quality of work, compassion, and customer service. 11/10

1696388929

This is the second time I've used Buyer's Inspection Service. I actually requested that my realtor set up the inspection with them. They do a very thorough inspection and you are given an easy to understand written report when they're finished. I would definitely recommend them.

My inspector was so efficient, he was professional & courteous. Talk about being thorough, I have never experienced such a thorough inspection ever! It was worth every penny of the money, and I highly recommend this company to everyone.

1690847623

Excellent service and customer care.

1690497481

Very thorough inspection with great insight and details in the report. Was a useful tool to fit us to determine if we wanted to go through with the purchase! Paid more to a competitor, not nearly as thorough or professional. I’d 100% recommend.

Our pre-drywall home inspection was performed by Erick. He did a great job! He was very thorough and spent an hour going over the report with me and walking through the new building explaining strengths and possible points of concern. The report itself was easy to read and was emailed to us immediately after the inspection so we could forward it to our field manager promptly. We plan to use this company’s service again for a final walk-through.

David was just exceptional!!! He was extremely knowledgeable, respectful and personable. I could not be more pleased with the inspection and what he found. The report is concise, through and sent very quickly. We could not be happier.

Also, Evelina was so kind and easy to schedule with. She is a real asset to your company!!!

1676643683

I highly recommend Buyers Inspection Services. I’m building and began to have many concerns with my builder after reading reviews and was able to inform the inspector prior to the pre-dry meeting my concerns and what are the common trends I was reading and he was able to calm my nerves and educate me post inspection. There were some observations that was made to the builder that if I didn’t have an inspector it would’ve cost me so yes there is ROI on having Buyers with new construction. Thank you

Our entire experience with Buyer’s Inspection Service was excellent, from the ease of making the appointment to the inspection report. The inspector, Eric, arrived on time, checked everything thoroughly, explained things in a way that’s easy to understand, and produced a very comprehensive inspection report. I highly recommend using Buyers Inspection Service.

1664389179

Erick is awesome! Great to work with, very thorough, super knowledgeable and explained everything. Being a first time home buyer I’m so grateful for him taking time to walk me through everything, explain everything and I felt like he cares not just about my immediate wellbeing but my future wellbeing in the house. Highly recommend! 💕

David Roche with Buyer's Inspection Service conducted the inspection of my home for possible humidity and mold damage. He went down into the crawl space, took photographs and documented everything that needed attention. He shared with me a preliminary version of his findings and later sent me a detailed report. He discussed with me technical and financial alternatives which sent me on my way to find a solution for my crawl space and related problems. I strongly recommend this service.

1649713843

Eric was great to work with. We used him for the house we are selling and the house we are buying. I really appreciated how through he was, explained the major repairs, answered questions and was never rushing. If you need a true home inspection, call Eric!

Great service, great people

I Just wanted to say a big thank you to Mrs Catherine Abramson , for handling the trading of my account. Your professionalism, genuine kindness and bluntness at times when I needed to face reality are what made me progress. I invested $5000 and got $7000 in a week. I only wish I had known about you earlier from the first moment I decided to trade. Nevertheless, I am grateful!

1635384202

I had never used an inspector for a new construction home, but will from here on out

My builder was not open to accepting a third party inspection, but when they received the report they fixed every issue identified by David

Thank you for your professionalism, full explanation and taking the time to go through my home and every step of the process

If you need a home inspection, look no further than Buyers Inspection Service

Thank you for helping us protect and verify the quality and safety of our single largest investment
