Best home inspector/inspection I have ever had (4 prior RE purchases). He was extremely well prepared and well read. Worked through the property in a logical and exacting manner. I learned a great deal about the property and future maintenance issues, both near and long term.

Alex: You did an amazing job!! Although I am totally new to the world of home inspections, I can't imagine anyone being any more thorough with both the inspection itself and the writing of the report. Thank you so much for your astute attention to detail; you have helped me greatly! I also appreciate the manner in which you communicated your findings. The descriptions you provided were easily understood. I would gladly serve as a reference to others of the service you provide. You come highly recommended in my book!! Thanks, again. -Ann

Really detailed and did a nice job explaining things. Would recommend him for sure!

Alex deos an excellent, thorough job and has a very patient, comfortable demeanor. He is interested in explaining systems to home buyers for their personal knowledge and use beyond the home purchase, i.e. doing more than simply helping the transaction.

- S.C., October 2010
Hands-down the best. Professional, thorough, friendly, and did I mention thorough? Everyone I know who's in the market will use JBS, because I'll tell them there's nobody better.
- G.B., October 2010
she was very thorough and professional.
- U.D., October 2010
Traci was excellent. Very thorough and professional. I'd highly recommend to anyone considering.
- D.F., Boston MA, October 2010
Tracu Litt was highly professional, and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of our potential home. Working with Tracy was a pleasure since she took time to explain every area that she examined. Moreover, her photographs allowed me to see each flaw that Tracy found.The thoroughness of the inspection was far better than any other housing inspection that I have observed. I would recommend Tracy Litt and her organization without reservation and with the highest praise.
- P.G., September 2010
This was a very thorough report. I'm very impressed. I've seen similar reports in the past, and the use of photos, and the clear structure of the report, was very helpful.
- T.R., September 2010
Tracey Litt was our inspector: very thorough, very knowledgable.
- Z.F., September 2010
Alex was extremely thorough and explained issues as he inspected and walked through the house. We are very happy with his work and would highly recommend him. Although we pulled our offer on the house, we will definitely use his service again in the future.

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. Punctuality and Timely Completion: No one likes to wait or have large windows of time where service providers "might" get to them. No one likes the job to drag out because of the service provider's other projects or if it becomes apparent that the SP did not plan well.
  2. Workmanship: No one likes shoddy work, shortcuts, or tradesmen who take advantage of the customer's lack of awareness of what is good quality work.
  3. Responsibility: Many home owners do not wear shoes in their home and service providers should wear covers over their shoes when necessary. SP's should not travel into rooms that are not in the work scope. They should not use the toilet without asking. If the SP soils or breaks something, they should try to replace it.
  4. Professionalism: A Professional does not try to add unnecessary work to the contract. Nor do they try to make themselves look good by demeaning their competition or by discussing religion or politics. Professionals stand behind their price and make the experience pleasant with the customer.
  5. Cleans Up Daily: Customers like to know that each day when service providers leave the room, it is in a broom swept condition, meaning nothing laying around loose, dangerous, all cords are rolled up, and trash or debris is contained or removed. SP's should clean up at the end of the job.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. Well Organized: Generally speaking, from start to finish, the process went well, any concerns were addressed or corrected, and the repair or project ended well with everyone satisfied.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
