If one were to define a perfect home inspector, you'd want him/her to be very knowledgeable about home systems, to have highly-honed skills of perception, and to approach the job with a willingness to share in an open, friendly, and generous way. I have asked Eric to inspect multiple properties for us over the last couple of years and have found that he not only meets our expectations, he consistently exceeds them.
