    Home Inspection

    Vahn provided professional home inspection service to my new home (25 years old) last month. I can tell you that he likes his job very much and is very patient to explain everything to me as a first HOME buyer. Things you will never know if you are living in a condo. I have learned a lot in that session and his 47 pages report will sure be a reference on how to maintain the property in the future. I would highly recommend Vahn to do the inspection for you if you do care for your investment.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the review Kenneth. I'm glad you did some research before choosing a home inspector. Unfortunately most home purchasers wait too long to find a great home inspector. You should have your trusted team comprised of your Realtor, Lender, Lawyer, and Home Inspector already chosen when you first decide to buy a new home. If not, you may find yourself making poor decisions due to excessive emotions, and the pressures/time constraints of completing a real estate deal. You may decide to skip out on a professional home inspection - bad call. Or you may hire the first inspector (with a cheap fee) you call up on the phone without properly evaluating/researching the inspector - I call this gambling. Finally, you may just go with your agent's recommended inspector. In a perfect world, this conflict of interest would not exist, but it does. Do your own independent research and chose your inspector wisely. You want trusted advice to protect you and your investment.

    Home Inspection

    We hired Vahn to do a home inspection. To our surprise he arrived very early to inspect the roof because the weather forecast said it might rain later. He went through each part of the house, then give a quick reviews with the photos for some areas that we can't access. Later that evening, we received a detailed 30-page report with all the major/minor problems during the inspection, with photos. Now we have this report while doing repair and renovation for the new house, we will never be worried anymore. Professional service, honest person. It is a pleasure working with Vahn.

    Hi Fiona, thank-you for the review. I like to see home purchasers making sound decisions and getting true value from service providers. You have the power to demand a great home inspector in addition to a professional real estate agent to help you through the largest financial investment most people make in their lifetime. Do your research and don't feel intimidated by the process. PS thanks for becoming a facebook fan for Solex Group Limited

    Pre-purchase home inspection

    Vahn from Solex was punctual, friendly, thorough and detail-oriented (which both my partner and I appreciated as we LOVE details). He allowed us to tag along during the home inspection, pointed out major deficiencies in the home and provided us with a timely report. We will definitely refer him to friends and family who need a home inspection. Thanks Vahn!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the review Karna! I'm glad you and your partner were able to step back and view the house through "my eyes". By the time most people call their home inspector to inspect the house, they are caught up in the emotional aspect of the purchase. Maybe it has beautiful curb appeal, fancy appliances, an updated kitchen with granite counters, or it satisfies some basic needs-it's near a park or close to work, it has nice finishes or the right number of bedrooms. Sure you want to feel good about your new home purchase, but it's much more important to put your emotions and assumptions aside and get unbiased facts about the house. Protect yourself, your investment, minimize surprises, and know what you are buying with a Solex Group Professional Home Inspection.

    Home Inspection

    We found Vahn after researching quite a few sites and recommendations. We are extremely glad that we had picked him to perform the home inspection on our new house. We had used other home inspectors for other houses before. But Vahn sort of showed us what a true Home inspection should be like. He was very patient with my husband, son and myself and explained every single detail or potential issue with the house in every day terms. I was very impressed with how detail he was in his approach. His final report was extremely very detailed, complete and insightful. Armed with his report, we actually got back to the seller and renegotiated the price of the house. Overall I would definitely recommend his service to any home buyer.

    Answer from pro:

    I wish more people would do their homework when choosing a home inspector. The very best home inspections do not come cheap, and they shouldn't. Not all home inspections are "created equal". Don't hesitate to get in touch if you ever need advice on anything house-related Hosne. Thanks for choosing Solex Group Professional Home Inspection.

    Home Inspection

    Vahn Balabian of Solex Group conducted a very professional and thorough inspection of the property we were interested in purchasing. He inspected every part of the house and took pictures of the problem areas. He explained everything as he inspected the property so that we understand exactly where the problems in the house are situated so that we can take corrective action. He promptly send us a detailed report of the inspection along with pictures. We would certainly recommend his services to our friends who are interested in buying a property especially first time home buyers.

    Home Inspection

    We hired Vahn for our first home Inspection and he was very good he explained us all minor details and also send us the report with pictures so that we don't forget what was needed to be done. I would suggest him to all my friends for home inspection.

    Answer from pro:

    My pleasure Varsha...I'm glad you were satisfied with my service. Yes, the photos in the body of the report really help my clients recall what we saw at the inspection and what was explained verbally on site. For those without a photographic memory, just read the report :) Thanks for the review and for choosing Solex Group.

    Home inspection

    My wife and I were in the process of purchasing a home and had never gone through a home inspection and did not know what to expect. Vahn was very professional and pleasant through the entire process and gave a lot of helpful tips on improving and maintaining the property in the future. Vahn was very detailed in his explanations and back up any concerns with clear and easy to follow instructions on how to resolve the issues found during the inspection. I high recommend Vahn Balabanian to anyone who is looking for a home inspection or even direction on improving the maintenance of a home. I was extremely satisfied. Thank you Vahn

    Answer from pro:

    You are welcome Paul. It means a lot to me when a client takes the time to share their experience and post a review on HomeStars. It's a good way to identify those that actually provide value and are focused on customer satisfaction. And honestly? This is a great way to find an inspector that is truly impartial and not "tied to agents" as their source for client referrals. On a lighter note, Paul I still can't believe how much your voice sounds like George from Sinefeld!!! Thanks for the review Paul.

    Home Inspection

    This was my first experience in obtaining a home inspection. Weeks leading up to the event, I had searched online looking for reviews, consulting with friends and educating myself on what to look for and who to contact. I came across Solex Group and was impressed by the reviews and professional credentials that were found on the website. Vahn arrived to the property site early, described what I could expect before and after the appointment and thoroughly took his time to inspect the home. I was impressed with his knowledge and his genuine personality. He spent a considerable amount of time in taking us through all the details - from major to minor. Afterward I was assured I would receive my full report very soon. Within 24 hours I received a comprehensive report, which included pictures (this is very helpful as during the whole process you might forget things) and acted as an easy reference. This experience was so great for me, and I hope this review provides an assurance to all those seeking a home inspection that you will surely be impressed with the professionalism, attention to detail and competitive pricing that the Solex Group offers. I have already recommended Solex Group to friends and will definitely call up Vahn should a future property inspection be required. Thanks Vahn for truly providing excellence in service and standing behind your passion and dedication.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for taking the time to give me such a detailed review Paul. Very true that there is passion in what I do. I get a lot of satisfaction in knowing I was able to help someone make what is typically the biggest investment of their lifetime. HomeStars is such a great way for consumers to find great contractors and professionals...especially in finding an impartial and unbiased home inspector! It was great to meet and work for you Paul. Enjoy the home and thanks for using Solex Group.

    Home Inspection

    We were involved in a bidding war (or two!) and were not able to complete a home inspection as one of the conditions. After we moved in we wanted to complete some renos, but wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything important that needed to be done before we went ahead with renos. We had made arrangements with another home inspector that we found on here about 2 weeks in advance, but he canceled on us a couple days before the appointment. I emailed Vahn on Friday night at midnight and he got back to me right away and was able to squeeze me in on the Saturday afternoon after another appointment. Let me say I was very impressed with Vahn. He was very professional at every step of the way and very honest. He inspected the exterior first and walked us through everything he noted. He then did the interior and walked us through as well. He took about 3.5 hours and it was a very educational. He was very thorough and got our report back to us the next day. He was very knowledgeable and gave us alot of great ideas that we could do and needed to do to make our home safer. Anyone looking to get a home inspection completed should look no further that Solex Group. Amazing service, honesty and professional all the way. Great job Vahn!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the review guys. I'm glad you had a positive experience with my service. It's so hard to compare one company/contractor to the next these days. In the home inspection industry, it's even harder! I'm glad you did your homework and asked questions when you contacted me via telephone. Thanks again for for choosing www.solexgroup.ca and enjoy the house!
