- L., October 2021
My experience with Tim was great. He was on time, direct, thorough and honest. Tim went over every part of the house, explaining what he was looking for every step of the way. He discussed any issues honestly , big or small. Tim went over some of the quick solutions to minor issues while recommending seeking a professional to double check a couple of potential issues (plumber , electrician as needed). Tim’s honesty and thoroughness put me at ease with my decision to purchase my home. He explained the entire process as we went through it while reminding me that everything would be in his report, which it was. Tim’s report came to quickly as promised and was broken down in an easy to follow and understand format. I highly recommend Tim to anyone in need of his services. Tim was highly recommended by the people who set me up with him and he lived up to all the positive input I received. I can’t thank him enough for assisting me in this part of the process. I can only hope the rest of my purchase goes as smoothly and positively as this part did.
