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.

Absolutely an all-around professional service and experience! Detailed, yet simple in person and written Inspection report. Super easy process from scheduling, payment, inspection, and results. Will definitely hire this company again for future home inspection needs! You should too!

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.

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.

Ryan and his co-workers do a great job finding issues with homes and explaining things to my buyers. He is very thorough and reliable. I highly recommend him!

I would absolutely recommend Buyer's Inspection Services to anyone who asked or otherwise. Erick was extremely thorough and meticulous, taking time to explain things as he went through his inspection. The price was extremely reasonable for the service provided, Erick did not rush through ticking boxes, but made sure that everything worked as it should, or noting the ways in which they didn't.I was extremely impressed with the 50 page report full of actionable items and photographs (which was sent the same day!), not only for the leverage in negotiation but also as a checklist of maintenance and repair items to keep track of when we move in.

BIS was phenomenal to work with while under contract for our new house. Timely, friendly responses in addition to flexibility in scheduling for our tight contract timeline. The report itself was thorough but easy to understand for a first time homebuyer. I would not hesitate to recommend BIS to anyone looking for a thorough, responsive home inspector.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Buyer's Inspection Service, and will not hesitate to call on them for inspection services should I consider purchasing a house again in the future. I was presented with an inspection report so thorough, it painted for me a straightforward impression of a house that although adorable in appearance, would ultimately have been an extensive project that would include among other things, replacing water damaged wood from roof to basement and odiferous sub floors due to cat urine. I remain impressed by the level of detail in my report; flaws that a realtor or seller may consider as minor, but could be red flags to a prospective buyer, were not overlooked and included in the report, and clinched my decision to ultimately pass on this purchase. I am grateful to Buyers Inspection Service for their thoroughness and professionalism and wholeheartedly recommend them.

They saved me at least$60,000 in repairs I could have got into. Don't skip your home inspection! Buyer's inspection service is the only I will use! 2nd time I've used. Very detailed and friendly. Thanks for the great work!

Inspector Ryan was very polite and professional, but he didn't do his job right, he failed to catch or inspect a few things, including nonworking men's toilet stalls, and front door locks, and skipped other important things that needed to be addressed and unfortunately we are paying for it now.I paid $1000 for an hour and thirty minute’s work, which was $250 less than what I initially was told was the price. Including maybe 45 minutes to an hour of report work, you spent a bout 2.5 hrs at the most, what we negotiated and what I paid for was supposed to cover, ⅔’s of the day’s work. You told the realtors that it would take you three hours. However, once you saw the place, you told them it would be done in an hour and a half, and that is what you did. I did not expect one person would be able to complete a proper inspection in an hour and a half for this large of a building. Besides what I mentioned above, none of the building’s whole house fans/venting were tested. Also, if you had taken the time to walk in the attic, you would have seen daylight coming through next to the furnace chimney. It’s expected that you have the proper gear for your own safety, and although you did go on the roof, you failed to note the flashing of one of the furnace chimneys was not done properly, which is how water is now leaking into the building. I deal with inspectors 2 to 3 times a year, and I hired you because my realtor recommended you. After this experience, I don't know where to rank you.

So impressed with Ryan and the team at Buyer's Inspection Service. We're a nonprofit organization making our first property purchase so ensuring each dollar is spent appropriately is important to us, and these guys helped to give us the peace of mind we were seeking. A large commercial building can quickly turn into a large commercial headache if you're not careful, and thanks to Buyer's Inspection Service, we're going into this purchase with eyes wide open! We'd recommend them to everyone we know! Thanks for a great experience!

Our realtor recommended Buyer's Inspection Service during the purchase of our first home and they were great. Very detailed and thorough, and the take-home report included very helpful photos alongside the write-ups that made understanding any issues much easier. If we ever find ourselves in the market to purchase a home in the area again, we'd definitely use them a second time.

I'd like to thank the whole company for their great work. If you decide to have a happy life after buying a house then I recomend the Buyers Inspection! David explained every detail like a father to his child so it was easy to understand and know what to expect during and after inspection. We had one inspection in March and we are going to have another one in May.
Matthew Oram

Buyer’s Inspection Service provided a very detailed inspection. We used the detailed inspection report to negotiate with the sellers for repairs, ultimately leading to savings that were about 10x the cost of the inspection. Overall, the inspection was thorough, detailed, and provided great value.

These guys are amazing. I’ve used them on four houses, and they will be the only inspection service I use on every house I buy going forward. We've had Ryan and David inspect houses, and there is no difference in their quality, they're both amazing. I won't buy a house without one of them looking at it.

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.

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.

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!
