A professional building inspection from A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections will help you gain awareness and valuable information about a home before purchase.

"I am so incredibly grateful for Duane, reached out with a few days left on our 10 days of conditions and Duane not only completed the requested building support but was INCREDIBLY thorough. The report was not only enough to satisfy the need but impressed my engineer of a father but was clear enough for me to understand. Upon having a question Duane not only answered it but did so in a comprehensive manner that helped me formulate a clear plan. It has been such a pleasure to work with him and would do again when needing anything in the future! 12/10 would recommend!"

"We engaged Duane to carry out the building inspection on two of the properties we wanted to buy. One was brand new and the other was around 15 years old. He gave an in depth 70 page report on the condition of each property. This detailed report helped us and dissuaded us from buying the property. The report was an eye opener to us and gave us a different perspective of the items that needs to be looked into before we decide to buy any property"

"We had four houses inspected - one we were selling, three we were thinking of buying. All four houses were inspected by Matt Marks. Matt is absolutely terrific, he responds promptly, his communication is excellent, he looks at things very thoroughly (including the specific aspects requested). We were so impressed with Matt, that we went with him three more times after the first one. Matt produces a detailed report promptly, and is very approachable even after the work has been completed. We would like to thank Matt for making the house selling and house hunting process go so smoothly. We highly recommend A Buyer's Choice, our experience with Matt has been superb."

"I am thrilled to be able to add my comments to the already super positive feedback.
Duane, through email, phone and in person, you are a true professional and your dedication to the job is fantastic. You are confident and experienced so your customers know they are in good hands. You clamber over, under and all through each house and present a thorough and considered report at the end.
The job does not finish with the report. You made yourself available to discuss details....in my case three times.
I am so grateful to you for giving me the confidence to buy my new home."

"Duane is fantastic! My building inspection was urgent and he somehow managed to squeeze it in despite being very busy. Duane was very thorough, and produced a well balanced report that was easy to understand. It covered everything! We also had a discussion to understand overall what the report meant in terms of purchasing the home. This was really helpful as it can be alot of information (not always positive) so getting that balance was great. Totally recommend Duane, and Ill tell everyone I know as well. Thanks!"

"Absolute remarkable service from Duane Turner of ‘A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections’
Duane’s professional manner and efficiency in completing our builders report within 24hours made the process stress-free.
Duane’s comprehensive & thorough inspection report reassured we were in good hands.
Our first report was honest, non-biased and completed with great care, it saved us a lot of money in making a huge financial mistake.
With such an experienced, trusted person with affordable & excellent service we did not hesitate to immediately call upon Duane again to complete another report which eventually secured our first home. Thank you for your Great Mahi!"

He was very detailed in his inspection and report, which was useful for us to make informed decision in buying our property. He checked all the light bulbs, switches, power outlest, toilet flushes one by one, We also used his inspection report as our base to do our pre-settlement inspection to highlight to the vendor on things that need to be fixed before the actual settlement date.
We received the detailed and comprehensive reports within 24 hours after the inspection date.
If you need a good and quality inspection, you can surely use Rafael’s service.

It fell through, and again. Finally actually only two days ago my offer on a home was accepted. So we were back in business. John responded nearly immediately, providing clear details of the process, followed by emails confirming this, agreement and invoice came today as did the Builders Report. How is that for excellent service. Thank you John for providing this first home buyer with a stress-free experience in aquiring this much needed report for my first home application. I highly recommend John and the service he provided. Tuesday offer accepted, Thursday John delivers/sent Builders Report (2days). Wow, I am amaaazed. Thank you very much John."

"Stephen completed five different building inspections for us over the period of 9 months. Being first home buyers in the crazy property market, we looked at a wide range of different houses in different areas - from brick and tile houses to plaster (monolithic cladding) houses.
Stephen's reports are highly detailed and he is happy to go through and explain issues in more detail over the phone. Stephen was very easy to get in touch with and he was always happy to book in a time for the building inspections directly with the Real Estate agents.
Stephen also turned around the reports very quickly which gave us the peace of mind when needing a quick inspection turnaround for auctions."

"at $600 the report did seem like a lot, but we were very happy with the building report, and found it to be really professional and comprehensive. in addition Matt went to d othe report a couple days after we asked - and got it to us a couple days after that, great turn around.
If we were needing an in depth report like this again I would absolutely go back."

"We appointed Matt from A Buyer's Choice to carry out a building inspection and meth testing as part of the due diligence we needed to carry on our first home purchase. Matt was informative and transparent from the get-go, provided a quote and detailed explanation of what the inspection would entail, expected timeframes for the written report and toxicology results, and scheduled our inspection at short notice so as to fit in with our required timeline. He contacted the agent to arrange access to the property himself, confirmed this to us in advance, carried out the inspection and then provided a professional and easy to understand written report on time. We had a few followup questions and Matt was quick to email answers to those, which was very helpful for us as it was our first time buying a house. Overall we were very happy we chose A Buyer's Choice for our building inspection and toxicology report, and thankful to Matt for his professional service at every step of the way. Highly recommended ????"

"I contacted multiple home inspectors, who all came back with very expensive cost estimates. Stephen's price was better than competitors and also offered a full written report for a great price. He also messaged me to double check if I required his assistance. I contacted Stephen very last minute and he fit it into his schedule, offering to work later that evening to get the report done for an auction the next day. I am so thankful for the services provided, they were exceptionally detailed and provided me with great confidence to win the auction! :) Thank you for everything and I cannot wait to move into my new home."

I received his very thorough report - the photos helped to understand why there might be more repairs now (or in the future)."

"Dealing with Duane Turner of ' A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections' was the least stressful part of a very stressful house-hunting endeavour.
He did inspections of two different properties for us in the end and he was really amazing!
Duane was excellent at responding to our requests and communicating with us and the relevant agents, and he was very accommodating with times and arrangements.
His reports were extremely thorough and very detailed, and we felt he went above and beyond in certain aspects of the inspections. It really helped us to decide on whether or not to pursue purchasing the properties, and in the first instance helped us realise it would have been a bad investment. Phew!
We highly recommend him and we won't go anywhere else when we continue our property search.
Thanks so much Duane!"

"Our broker referred us onto a buyers choice, specifically Matt, for our building inspection.
This was our first time getting an inspection done and Matt definitely took the stress out of it for us, he responded to my initial message on a Sunday and had an inspection booked in with the real estate agent for the following Tuesday.
He carried out the work at the promised time and we had the report 2 days later. The report itself was informative, easy to understand and in depth with lots of photos.
Definitely recommend."

"We're so grateful to Duane from A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections Waitakere! He helped us with a pre-purchase building inspection on two occasions. Both times he was very quick to respond to email/phone communications, he was flexible on timings, and he made the process so easy for us. The reports were sent through so fast and efficiently, and we were very surprised at the level of detail and care that went into collating the reports. They were super thorough and gave us an excellent indication of the building quality and what needed attention etc. We were especially thankful for Duane's willingness to work around a tight schedule for our last and final building report - we found out at lunchtime Friday that a house we were interested in was going to auction midday Tuesday, however Monday was a public holiday. Duane kindly did the inspection on the public holiday on Monday morning and sent the report through only a few hours later.
Highly recommended from a happy new homeowner. :)"

"Upon reading many positive comments & recommendations for Duane from A Buyer's Choice, we asked him to inspect a property that we had made an offer on.
He was very prompt with communications, and kept us in the loop as to when inspection would be taking place, and when it had been completed.
He delivered his inspection report in the stated timeframe.
His report was very easy to understand even though it was detailed, and his comments were supported with photographs. His layout of the report was ideal too, first briefly discussing items needing attention/consideration, then followed with the full inspection in detail. He did the follow-up inspection too in a timely manner.
We highly recommend Duane for your next home inspection, you won't be disappointed."

"We engaged Duane for a pre-purchase inspection, and I can't praise his sheer professionalism enough. He communicates promptly at every stage of the process, which is key during such a fast-moving and stressful time, and even in the midst of a second COVID lockdown he was only delayed by a day when I was expecting weeks. He does what he says he will in when he says he'll do it, and when you're feeling caught in the whirlpool of promises and delays that is first home buying, that certainty is not a small thing.
Most importantly, his report was comprehensive and comprehensible, and highlighted a few issues which required remediation. Duane was more than happy to discuss these problems over the phone and suggest options and prices, and armed with this information and his report we were able to go back to the vendor and successfully negotiate for the work to be done at their expense. His thorough report put us in a strong bargaining position, and without it I don't think we would have had the success we did.
In summary, Duane made a complicated, uncertain and stressful time much, much simpler, and I can't recommend his work strongly enough."

"Duane from A Buyer's Choice helped us with two property inspections this year. The first identified some costly structural issues that we had not picked up ourselves and ultimately saved us from a potentially disastrous purchase. The second was incredibly thorough and confirmed the nature of the unconsented work on a property. We found both reports excellently detailed and the turnaround was very quick. Duane was a pleasure to work with, a true professional and we would highly recommend him and his company."

"We used Stephen's services to do a building report for us. Stephen was very responsive, took care of arranging a suitable inspection time with the vendors and finished the job in a timely fashion. Within days of our inquiry we received a very comprehensive report covering every possible aspect of the house and we felt very well informed of the property's condition. Stephen was also happy to answer all of our questions on a phone call a few days later. Excellent service, highly recommended!"

"Duane is an absolute professional. I got in contact with Duane when he did a building inspection near my rented property at the time in 2019. thus when it came to me with my first home building report I got in touch with Duane. My query required a very tight turn around time and Duane made it possible with a he submitted a very thorough building report. A report that my lawyer even commended on compared to what he has seen in some other cases. I would suggest to any buyer or seller out there who would like a job done right and to expectation then Duane and Buyers Choice home inspection is the way to go. I would like to thank Duane for his excellent work and i will surely be in touch in the future as and when the need arises."

"This was our first time using a building inspection as we had lived in Our present home for thirty years. Hence, we didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised when John arrived at our potential home. He was professional, friendly, explained everything in lay peoples language and was so thorough. He certainly exceeded our expectations. He made a huge difference in our understanding of what we were buying and a huge difference in our tender. We initially felt on our tight budget that this was an added expense but we now know that a building inspection at the caliber that John applies is a necessity. Thank you John an excellent service, a highly recommend you to those in need in the Hawkes Bay Area."

He was very easy to deal with and the inspection report was in hand the very next day. There was a lot of detail and he was open and objective when i called him to go over some pressing issues i thought may have been an issue with the house. He was clear in his explanations especially to someone who has never had to go through a report like this before. I would highly recommend this company if you need a friendly professional to help with your next Home Inspection Report. Thanks heaps Stephen!"

"I engaged this company on the back of the positive reviews but after purchasing and moving into the house have found how poor a job they have carried out and I’m now faced with large costs to remediate items that were not highlighted in the report.
Insulation in the roof is of some brown mud/dust nature and this will need to be replaced by proper wool insulation as it’s useless and does not provide any insulation at all. This will cost me a lot of money and now having settled I can’t claim it of the seller.
Roof gutters had gunk and leaves and are overflowing in rain and water is coming back onto windows. No mention on the report. I now have to install a Downpipe and gutter mesh at my cost coz after settlement I can’t claim from seller.
We relied and paid for a premium job but got a really shoddy experience and are now burdened with costs we shouldn’t have."

"Matt was great and has been happy to respond (quickly) to any questions I've had (thanks again Matt!). Just a note if you're looking to have an inspection done to help you get the best value out of the report - ask the agent to ask the owner/occupier make all areas of the house and fittings accessible for the inspection (ie the closet if thats where the roof access is). Matt wasn't able to get into the ceiling or check the stove due to not being able to touch or move the owners possessions so I've had to make a decisions on faith (and his best efforts with reaching into the ceiling with only his camera) regarding those areas. If you're looking at a cross-lease perhaps have your agent check on entry points to the underneath of the building and have them arrange access as that's also an area not able to be covered in my case."

"We used services of Duane from A Buyers Choice for our first home purchase.
We were working against a tight timescales and Duane delivered ahead of time having made the inspection visit within 24 hours of the initial call and worked through the weekend on the written report. He called us just before the inspection to ask about any particular areas of focus and after he’d conducted the visit it to share his initial observations.
The written report was very easy to follow and recommendations for remediation of findings clear.
Duane also verbally gave us an idea where the property stands in comparison to houses in the area of the same age and built using similar materials.
The Valuer recommended a Safe and Sanitary Report (which the lender insisted on) and we called on Duane’s services again to ensure compliance. And on tight timescales again.
The speed of response, the professionalism and Duane’s attention to detail is very impressive and the professional liability insurance is higher than competitors’. The jobs were reasonably priced and worth every cent spent.
If it wasn’t for Duane we would have struggled to get our offer across the line on time. And the Builders Report gave us a piece of mind - much needed when you buy your first home for a substantial amount.
Thanks Duane and hope to do business with you again!"

"I was a first home buyer and didn’t know much about house buying process. While everyone knows the importance of getting a pre-purchase inspection, many people I know had bad experience with their inspectors and wouldn’t recommend theirs to me. I resorted to asking around on FB and more than one person recommended Duane.
I’m very happy with his service. He was very professional and quick to respond to our enquiries. He knew the building codes well (more than many other trades people) and produced a very detailed report for us. He was very patient in answering our calls and explaining the issues to us to help as make an informed decision about the house.
After we bought the house and fixed a minor leak, he offered to come back and check the moisture readings for us for free. I wasn’t expecting that from an inspector.
I highly recommend his service."

"Can't say enough good things about Duane's service. We needed an inspection of an older house done in a tearing hurry right before Xmas, with basically no notice. We were first home buyers and needed quite a bit of hand-holding to walk us through the results of the inspection. Not only was the report extremely comprehensive, it saved us money by allowing us to negotiate a more reasonable purchase price, and gave us a really good working guide as to what needed fixing when we take possession. Duane was unfailingly responsive throughout, answered all our questions and gave common sense advice. Can't recommend highly enough!"

The second time around he has been even more amazing. I cannot fault him at all. Being a solo mum I really need that extra help looking into a house, he goes above and beyond that expectation. He is willing to help out and offer guidance even when there is no inspection being done."

"Duane did an excellent job with our Home inspection. He was in time, courteous, diligent and also took the time to go over the few challenges he found and his recommendations around these, straight after the inspection was done, which allowed us to get onto these issues straight away. His report came back promptly and is professional, easy to read and well presented. Duane also kindly returned to our property for a re-read of some of the moisture readings. I highly recommend Duane and will certainly use him again in the future should I need his services again."

His building report highlighted areas that needed to be repaired and to check Council consents on jobs that were completed by the Vendors which i wouldn't have known without Duane's building inspection expertise. Duane's report helped me to negotiate for the repairs and Council consent to be addressed through my Lawyer."

"Outstanding service, rang at 5pm on Wednesday, inspection of the property happened at 1pm on Thurday, and the report was ready before 11.30am on Friday. The real estate agent advised the inspection was thorough, taking approx 1 1/2 hours (she said she had seen many inspections take a third of that time), and the report reflected that thoroughness. It highlighted areas where money would need to be spent, and also gave peace of mind that the property would be a sound purchase. I would most definitely use A Buyers Choice again."

"We asked for recommendations for a building inspector on our local suburb Facebook group. Almost all of the replies recommended Duane at A Buyers Choice Home Inspections. Well I was not disappointed. Duane was quick to set up a time that was convenient to me and the vendor. He was very thorough and gave us a detailed report with expected future maintenance and suggestions. We would recommend him to everyone wanting peace of mind when purchasing a home."

"This review is not only a reflection of my opinion but also the opinion and feedback from a number of different parties including a number of real estate agents, other builders/building inspectors and geo thermal inspectors.
Duane is an absolute expert in his field. He is very digilent with an eye for detail. His work ethic is beyond satisfactory going the extra mile to provide precise details and evidence so that any other builder or contractor can read all key areas for concern without even visiting the property.
I believe Duane saved us from years full of unsuspected surprises and struggle. For this we have much to thank him for.
I wouldn’t go elsewhere. A master of his trade with exceptional care in taking every bit of time necessary. Although I know not standard we were fortunate enough to have him explain the details of the house to my partner while on site."

"We commissioned a Builders Report from Stephen in March 2019. From the beginning Stephen was prompt and helpful with his communication and responses. The inspection was carried out on time and meticulously done. The report was comprehensive, lucid and contained photographs of all the key points that were evaluated.It clearly highlighted what needed to be rectified and provides a very helpful guide for future repairs or trouble spots. Stephen also offers to help explain anything that needs clarification. I would not hesitate to recommend A Buyers Choice and the services of Stephen Boyd. Would certainly use them again if the necessity arose."

""The man from Japan, Kazuki Fujita! Thank you so much my man for your attention to detail, great customer service and the thorough check of the property that required inspecting. The old saying "Behind every great man is a great woman" To Zoe (office lady/main contact) who went above and beyond her call of duty to ensure we got what we required, very helpful with fantastic customer service. I recommend Buyers Choice home inspection to anyone and everyone, reasonably priced and it's a one stop shop. NO fuss DO IT RIGHT! DO IT ONCE CROWD! not only a building inspection but it's handy to know you can also get that dreaded Meth test done at the same time. Ticks all around. Thank you once again to Buyers Choice, Kazuki and Zoe!!! Champions! ""

"Dear Duane, just wanted to thank you for the thorough inspection of the house and for the quick turnaround in the reports that have enabled us to proceed smoothly on our house purchase. The report findings and your time and patience in going through the results with us enabled us to have the confidence and certainty of knowing exactly what was lacking and what needed to be done. We're glad to have engaged a building inspector who not just has experience in building but is also fully trained and qualified in building inspection, who could do all the checks and tests we needed at one go and at better value than many others in the market."

"Duane Turner has done 2 building reports at our request and both have been extremely comprehensive and detailed. One of the houses that we looked at appeared to be a tidy dwelling and we had gone so far as to pay the deposit. Duane spotted serious issues with plumbing and water damage (independently estimated at a cost of $25,000.00) We believe Duane's experience, knowledge, and commitment to thoroughness was key to identifying this issue which was hidden beneath floor coverings and underfloor insulation. He saved us from a very costly mistake.

"I have known Duane for a while, but never needed his services until lately. I had always heard all about all the inspections that he does and didn't really give much thought to what the report actually looks like.
After Duane arrived at the property exactly on time (even though it was in Hamilton) and inspected the property, he was more thorough than I could have ever imagined.
When I received his report a couple of days later, I was amazed to find a 68 page report which contained every single little detail about the property. Nothing had been overlooked, and everything he checked was not just a simple look and touch, but a detailed inspection. A day later the Meth Test report arrived and again, extremely thorough and undoubtedly accurate.
If you are going to be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a property, you want to make sure that this small investment for a building inspection is done right, and done properly. I would highly recommend Duane and would never look elsewhere.
Thank you Duane and I look forward to working with you again.
Gary."

"I had booked a pre-purchase inspection with Duane for a property we were looking to buy. Duane then informed me that he would unfortunately not be able to do the work. He explained that the franchise had received negative publicity (there was a FairGo piece on a different (!) licensee), and that he was worried about any potential credibility issues this could create for us. I commended him on his integrity and we ended up using the services of a different company for the initial inspection. However, the other company provide a substandard report, missed whole areas, and overall didn't give us confidence.
With little time left to meet the conditions of the purchase, I called Duane again and explained the situation. Within hours he had organised a site visit, and within days we had the full and very comprehensive report. He took the time to talk me through details over the phone and overall provided a stellar service.
I would definitely use his services again should the need arise!"

Throughout the process Duane was very prompt at providing feedback and documentation, arranged the particulars with the real estate agent right away and was able to deliver the inspection report within 24hours of the inspection occurring.

The Inspection report was just what I needed, it highlighted issues and gave good commentary. I really like the number of detailed pictures in the report (hundreds) as this give me a visual indication of any problems to consider.
Kevin also gave me some good advice on a number of areas across the house and his quick response back with the details I needed was excellent.
Well done Home Inspections"

"We were very impressed with Duane's service. We needed an urgent building inspection / report done on a home we were considering bidding on at auction, so needed to have the confidence to make an unconditional offer.
As soon as I'd spoken to Duane on the phone, he got in touch with the real estate agent to set up a time the next day to do the inspection. He sent through / gave us all the documentation we needed in a really timely manner, and even called me directly after the inspection to talk me through a few minor issues.
We were the successful bidders at the auction (for our first home), and having the builders report done was a key component in having the confidence that the house was a good purchase.
I would recommend Duane to anyone looking for a professionally delivered and well-handled builders report in the Auckland area."

Two days after my call Duane was up at the property doing the inspection. At completion of the inspection Duane phoned me to inform me the inspection had been completed and all in all it was a good report. Duane promised the report first thing on Tuesday morning and true to his word the report duly arrived. Duane completed a very thorough inspection and this was done with total professionalism and efficiency. The report was very comprehensive and extremely east to read and the presentation of the report was first class.

"Duane was able to inspect a property I had made an offer on within 24hours of my request. He was through, professional and personable. Duane explained what all of the jargon meant in real terms, talking me through the materials used and the maintenance that would be required, which gave me a degree of comfort and clarity. I was able to make an informed decision based on his report, and although I decided not to go through with the sale my broker remarked that I should be very glad to have paid for the building report as it has saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I agree.
I will definitely be calling on Duane's services again without hesitation as I continue to look for a home.
Highly recommend."

"Duane Turner performed a building inspection for me in Glen Innes. He called to advise that he was to perform the inspection on the day I requested and was punctual (early) and very thorough. Duane demonstrated that he had listened to me about my concerns and reinforced the other reviews that I had read on the 'No Cowboys' website about A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections by providing me with factual and comprehensive information, immediate answers to questions that I had and prompt delivery of a written report (next day). I found him to be ethical in his dealings, understanding of my perspective, clear with his communication and realistic in his inspection.
Because of this and the excellent service that I have received, I can not only see immediate VALUE in choosing A Buyer's Choice Home Inspections, but I am very satisfied with the result of Duane's work.
I am glad that I could find similar, positive reviews on 'No Cowboys' beforehand and also highly recommend this business for a home inspection."

I found Duane to be very thorough and always informing me as he went, very professional, easy to approach and discussed any concerns I had.
I will be recommending Duane and A Buyers Choice to any family/friends that are looking for a property inspector.
Thank you Duane and Sarah for making this experience pleasant and putting my mind at rest."

"Having just moved to NZ from Singapore and narrowing down to the perfect house was really a daunting task! Engaged the services of A Buyers Choice Home Inspections to carry out a pre-purchase inspection and thought my house-hunting journey started well with the home inspection.
Gerard Naude inspected the home of my choice and must admit that he did a very praise-worthy job! Gerard was professional, timely and had a keen eye for details. He produced the deliverables within the specified deadline with no compromise in the findings or report. He was even willing to go the extra mile to indicate the defects in person (as I was not around when the inspection was carried out). Even the vendor's property agent was full of praises for Gerard. Well done Gerard ! Suresh"

"We were in the process of looking for a new home and when we found one, we needed to get a builders report. We happened to be at an open home when we met Sarah who duly gave us her card with a phone number.
When we found our home, we duly got in touch with Sarah and asked if we could arrange a report being carried out for us.
This was promptly arranged and the report covered everything from the roof, all outside the home as well as the interior including just about every appliance, window catches everything involved with the home.
It was an 84 page report and it really made us feel secure in our purchase and would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to any body that is in need of getting a builders report carried out with such diligence.
Thank you very much Sarah and Duane.

Fay Mokomoko"

"This weekend I utilised the services of Duane Turner from 'A buyers choice' home inspections'. WhIle I was fairly confident the property was in good repair, it is foolish not to do due diligence. Not only did Duane do a thorough, prompt and competent inspection, he gave me great confidence to purchase the property, and a few tips for on-going maintenance (and having won the auction I will use these as a guide).
This is the second time I have used this company and both times Duane has been the inspector, great guy, honest, considered and seems to know all there is re property. Could not recommend more highly."

We appreciated you contacting the realtor directly to arrange a time to inspect the house. Your service was wonderful and we will recommend you in the future to any family or friends who begin house hunting!"

On to No Cowboys and found a few businesses but Buyers Choice was a shining 95-100%.
My experience of Buyers Choice is that they are very very good at what they do. Great communications, timely (even when presented with a tight time frame before and auction. The feedback I got from the vendor was they were polite and respectful and the report I received was comprehensive.
I did not end purchasing that property but have asked them to do another report on another property.
I will let you know if they are consistently great in a few days."

"Rob inspected my property and found several issues for me that I have been able to correct. He was professional and even came back a second time for free."

"My property sold at auction and it was very handy to have building inspections done prior to going on the market because it made it easier for people to bid on my property."

"My home was built in the 1970\'s and was looking a bit tired before I spent my money on giving the property an interior refresh I wanted to be sure there were no costly maintenance or structural issues that should have been a priority.
The peace of mind I got from my A Buyer\'s Choice Home Inspection was well worth getting it done."
