Ken, the fact that both realtors asked for your card tells it all. Prompt, great explanations, and good follow-up.
- K.W., May 2014
Ken called prior to the inspection to see if I had any questions which was great since I live out of state and had only seen the house through pictures and visits by my family living nearby. He was very thorough in his inspection and noticed a couple of things I didn't know would be part of the regular inspection. He also sent pictures to me of areas of concern to give me a better idea of what he saw. I think his background in housing construction and building practices make him well qualified to do a proper inspection.
