Be very careful when you hire Brent to do your home inspection. After 3 years of searching and waiting for a nice house to pop up in a specific area we hired Brent to inspect it for us even though the agent was insisting on his professional guy for $200 less. Brent was extremely nice on the phone and showed up a few minutes early to the appointment. And here is where things got a bit crazy - Brent went a bit crazy. He squeezed himself and peeked into the smallest cracks of the house and after two hours provided us with a binder full of comments one of which was "be careful about this house, it has a mold spot 40inch/sq in the attic and who knows where else that has spread to, plus it's got aluminum wires all over the place and wrong fuses in the electrical panel plus this, plus that, it may cost you a fortune in money and health". We did not buy the house and it's all because of Brent. We are sure the agent's inspector would not have given us the flashing red lights. But we found and bought another house and this time Brent only found very minor issues. If we ever move again Brent will surely be the inspector we will call to do the inspection.

Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving a review Adam! As well, the kind words! Some agents like using certain inspectors because just like you said, probably would have not of given the flashing red lights. First off, a guy that charges $200 bucks less isn't a home inspector; he's a waste of money. But all the best to him, I doubt he will be in business much longer. Did I go crazy? I guess looking at me roll around under things and squeezing myself into things makes me look it! Hey, I gotta do what I gotta do to give you an answer!!!I am glad that you were happy with me and I'm happy that you found a nice home for you and your family! Enjoy your new home, and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
