Here are some things our clients are saying about our home inspection services:
"Just a quick note to tell you how fantastic you were in helping my buyer get her new home. I use you for almost all my home inspections and have always found you to be very professional and thorough. This last one was a foreclosure home and needed a ton of work. With the aid of your home inspection report and recommendations, the bank approved over 12 thousand dollars in repairs to be made at no additional cost to the buyer. New windows, new HVAC system, frig, electrical work and plumbing were done as a direct result of your report. Your new system that allows the emailing of the report helped as the bank got it right away and after reading it knew they had to fix the items."
Buck Simpson, Prosperity Realty
"Bill was extremely pleasant, patient, thorough and informative. I was especially thankful that he showed me even the minor things I could do to make my home more energy efficient. Bill made sure I knew where all the shut off valves were, even marking them in case I forgot. Bill was extremely professional, and I have been telling friends and family how impressed I was with his service. I think I received more than my money's worth. Even the seller was impressed with Bill's report. I would use him again. "
Jacque A, Home Buyer
"Tamala and I would like to let you know that we were really impressed and satisfied with the home inspection you performed for us over the weekend. You were extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable and most importantly you showed us that you cared about our home, as well as our well being. So we would like to thank you for your impeccable customer service skills and for making us feel comfortable about our purchase."
Walter and Tamala C, Home Buyers
"I just wanted to thank you for the thorough and professional job you did inspecting the townhouse. Your rate was great and we couldn't have been happier with the comprehensive report, and the items you found that we never would have - especially that leaking furnace exhaust in the attic! Your willingness to answer follow-up questions after the inspection has been very helpful, too. Now I fully understand the value of a professional home inspection! I will recommend your services to all my friends! Thanks again!"
Mary Knoche, Fairfax, Va.
"Your professional response to my daughter was much appreciated. Your demeanor in speaking to me, my wife, and daughter as separate and equal clients, making each of us feel as if we were your only customer is a skill and style that you may rightly take great pride in. Thanks again."
Fred & Mary Z, Home Buyers
"Thank you Bill. We always enjoy talking with you, as we learn something each instance! Thank you so very much for taking the time to thoroughly inspect our home. You will certainly come highly recommended to my friends and associates here!"
Michelle T & Lecester J, Home Buyers
"Bill's quality of the job EXCEEDED his price. He returned our faith in Home inspections and inspectors. It was very refreshing to have a professional for the job. His Home Guide System book is very informative and detailed. Bill actually followed up with us on a problem that was detected. The greatest asset I found about Bill was that he didn't make the little problems seem big and vice-versa, he simply gave us the HONEST truth. THANKS BILL!! Good luck to you, I'm sure we'll see each other in the future."
Massaad & Mariela Naime, from Service Magic Customer Satisfaction Survey
"Thank you for all of your hard work and help. Your information was very helpful and I really appreciate your attention to detail"
Dawn P., Home Buyer
"We are very happy with your honesty and overall level of service. My wife and I will not hesitate to use your services again and will certainly recommend you to our friends. I apologize for the actions of our former real estate agent, who we subsequently fired. I encourage you to contact (agency) and report her unprofessional behavior. I am happy to weigh in where appropriate. However, I will leave this to your discretion. In any event, you are well-respected with our family and I thank you very much for your competent and unbiased opinion."
Jedd V., Home Buyer
"Larry and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your expertise during the home inspection at our, then, prospective property. We knew there were lots of things to watch out for, especially with an old house, and you certainly helped raise our confidence level in moving forward with the purchase. Getting a much older country property is significantly different than a newer home and we anticipated a considerable learning curve. We started on that learning curve as we watched you go through your inspection. Your report was helpful and serves as the basis for our home record. Thank you for your suggestions and the referral for an addition to the house. We enjoyed getting to know you. We will recommend you to friends as the occasion arises. Hope to see you at our 'house warming' Halloween party. I'll send out specifics as we firm up the plans a little more."
Dusty & Larry C., Partlow, VA
"I just want to take a moment to let you know that I was very pleased with your service. You made my clients feel very comfortable and additionally, you were able to educate them about the overall maintenance of their new house. I will definitely use your service again in the future and will let other agents know of your great service. Again, thanks for a superb service!"
Uma Redwine, Re/MAX Allegiance
"The Halversons closed on their new home just the other day. Thank you for being part of the process of their first home purchase. Although the home was close to perfect, your thoroughness with the inspection gave them peace of mind that first time home buyers require. Thanks again for being so professional."
Buky Ogbonlowo, Keller Williams Realty
"Harry and Stephanie's closing was yesterday and everything went great. Just want to let you know that they were extremely pleased with your home inspection and I'm sure they'll recommend you to other folks who are in the market for a home inspection. Satisfied customers are what it's all about!"
Ruby Massey, Realtor, Star Homes Realty
"It was very nice to meet you today. You did a great job and it was fun to watch you work because you are so thorough and passionate. You should know that Carlos sang your praises as well to his lender....I look forward to working with you on many homes, and I'll be sure to refer you to my colleagues."
Patty Harris, Realtor, RE/MAX Gateway
"Wayne & Barbara Stevens came to me on a relocation transfer from Boise, Idaho. They are not only trusting me as their agent, I now am trusting you Bill to make sure my clients are buying a well built home, and would be aware of any issues down the road. After meeting with you, both my clients and I left that home knowing exactly what positives and negatives were on the house. You were able to answer all of our questions, you made good suggestions on what we should ask the seller to contribute, and most of all you are a very nice and sincere person and made my clients more confident on their decision on the home they purchased. On that note I will use you on future clients. Thank you."
Liz Bergquist, Realtor, Long & Foster Real Estate
"Competence and availability are my top two requirements when referring a home inspector to one of my clients, and Bill, you certainly meet these standards."
Steve Frank, ABR, CRS, Realtor, ReMax
"As an Insurance Agent for over 30 years, I was very impressed with the level of competence and detail exhibited by your home inspection. As a father, whose daughter was a first time home buyer, your inspection gave her mother and I peace of mind."
Gary F. Baker, Sr., CLU, ChFC, Owner, Baker & Associates Insurance, LLC
"Bill’s work demonstrates both an attention to detail and a fine finished quality that is quite rare. He is reliable, a pleasure to work with, and willing to go the extra mile for his clients."
David W. Smith, principal Realtor, rAmericanDream.com
"Bill, you did an excellent job. You were great with my first-time buyer."
Donna Ney, CRS, Realtor, Coldwell Banker
"Bill has been doing an excellent job inspecting homes for my clients. Recently he discovered a crack in a furnace in one of the homes. I was really surprised. The sellers eventually installed a new furnace and that made my buyers very happy. I will continue using him."
Mehadi Hassan, Realtor, Long & Foster Real Estate
"I want to thank and commend Bill Duncan of Home Status Inspection Company for doing an outstanding job on a recent home sale in Partlow, VA. We were having a tough time finding a home inspector to travel that far out to Partlow, and to add difficulty to task, we needed the inspection to be performed within a couple of days and on a Saturday morning. Anyone in this business knows that to find an inspector on short notice, for the weekend, and to travel far is unheard of!!! But Mr. Duncan stepped up to the plate and took care of us. Not only did he accommodate our schedule, but he performed a great inspection on a renovated 70 year old farm house. He thoroughly inspected the property and he also gave the purchasers a lot of helpful information on how to maintain the house. I would highly recommend him for home inspections in the future and greatly appreciate his high level of performance on this particular sale."
CC Bartholomew, ABR, GRI, Realtor, Long & Foster
"My client Scott is a first time home buyer, his father is a builder. You spent extra time showing Scott what he needed to know about the house and you impressed his father with your knowledge and system. Best of all, you made me look good to them for recommending you...Thanks!"
Jim Ryan, Mortgage Consultant, United Mortgage
"Both of my purchasers are very happy with their home inspections. I will certainly keep you in mind for future business."
Ruby Massey, Realtor, Star Home Realty Company
