Thank you for coming out and meeting us on Saturday. It was a pleasure getting to meet you. I am very glad that we went ahead and got the inspection done before the purchase so we know what we are dealing with going forward. I'm sure some of the things that were wrong we wouldn't have noticed without your through inspection. We would recommend you to any one that needs an inspection done. Dale and Elizabeth Early

Mr. O'Brien was extremely helpful in the decision to purchase a property. I live in Philadelphia, and relied greatly on his expertise to inspect the home.
I would not hesitate to use,or recommend, his services again.
- J.L., August 2014
Great job! Clients enjoyed working with you! Found you to be thorough and knowledgeable.
- S.M., August 2014
Dan is the best I've seen. He is the inspector I trust my clients to. Thorough, knowledgable, efficient and clear, he tells it like it is. With his experience, a problem that might scare a home owner or buyer has a remedy with a plan of action. His experience in construction, remodeling and home rehabilitation is vast, and I try to be at every inspection he does for my clients, because I always learn something. A very nice guy too.
- T.M., July 2014
I just did recommend Dan O'Brien! Thanks for the additional time spent to share all the details and walk me through!!

Dan was recommended to me by a fellow REALTOR in Buncombe County. His report was one of the most detailed I have ever received in 10 years in real estate. It was extremely comprehensive and painted a clear picture of the home's condition. I will definitely recommend him to clients and my fellow agents.

Dan is very personable and pleasant, but more importantly he is extremely thorough and goes above and beyond to address all questions and concerns. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, honest, and dependable. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a home inspection!
- J.D., May 2014

Bring coffee and donuts !! for morning appointments and beer for afternoon appointments!
- M.C., May 2014
Dan was very thorough in his inspection. I knew going in that there were some issues I would have to deal with but through Dan's report, I was informed of several more problems I am going to have to address, a couple of them on a more important scale, that I probably would have never caught. Looking at what probably would have surfaced down the road, the inspection fee was well worth the cost.
- R.R., April 2014
My sister was with you during the inspection, and she thought you were very knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough!!
- L.S., April 2014
Great job once again! Dan even provided us with the name and number of an electrician to fix the problems!
- M.S., March 2014

Thanks a lot Dan for doing that work. The steel house has been a very interesting endeavor.
I'm interested in green construction and plan on getting a green certification this year.
BTW, I need to get a few bids for installing radiant floor heat at Chrisdon's house. Can you recommend anybody?
Good luck out there, I'm sure we'll be working together again.
Best,

Dan did really helpful research to prepare him for inspecting our very unique property. He even contacted a particular specialist within his extended network that was able to get involved in helping us all learn more about the history of the property. Dan was incredibly thorough and included us in the process the entire way. We would definitely recommend Dan for his knowledge, professionalism, and engagement in the home inspection experience!
- C.H., January 2014
Dan is extremely thorough! He works very hard for his customers! He was at our property for 5 hours making sure there was nothing he had missed and did not charge us extra! His reports are very clear and easy to follow. He prefers his customers to be there during his inspections so that he can explain his findings to them as they come up. We will definitely use him again in the future.
- M.S., January 2014
You were recommended to us by a friend whose home you had inspected. We are extremely pleased with your inspection of Eden Glen. You are professional, knowledgeable and thorough.

You will be hearing from us again as we continue to pursue our search for a home. Thank you!

Very thorough and knowledgeable. Takes time to listen, point out areas of concern and talk to customer during a crucial part of the home buying process. Concise solutions to repairs needed in a orderly fashion. A pleasure to work with Dan.
- D.S., September 2013
Dan,
Thank you for your attention to detail on the recent inspections. You cover every aspect of the home and identify the concerns for the purchaser. Whether the contract on the property allows for the request of repairs or the agreement is the property is purchased in "as is" condition, the reports have provided my clients with the needed information to construct a check list to move forward.

Hi Dan, You did a terrific inspection on this home for my buyers, with no nook or cranny overlooked. The report is very detailed, good photos of the issues that need repaired, and shows that this home was thoroughly inspected. Thank you ever so much for coming on such short notice. I will be calling you again. Deb Burks

Your work as an inspector is far above other inspectors that I have had previously. I have had five previous home inspections and none have been as thorough as yours. It was also very helpful how you explained all your findings to us. I would gladly recommend you to others. Thank you so much,

- C.C., August 2013
My clients were very pleased with your professionalism and attention to detail and explanations both verbally while at inspection and also your written report.

We were very impressed with Dan's home inspection report. The report was very thorough and easy to read and understand. We liked the way he summarized all the sections of the report at the end of it that needs to be addressed. If you're looking for a professional home inspector Dan is your man.
