Positive experience with A Buyer’s Choice for a home inspection. Germain is very thorough, very detailed, and very friendly. He described what he was doing if asked and explained the process as necessary so we were informed. He provided a quick turnaround on his findings in a lengthy report. The report is detailed and accented with photos highlighting issues, including things that may need to be addressed over time. It is easy to follow and provides reference to the potential home purchasers, the sellers, and the agent. He was on time and did not rush.

As first time home buyers, Germain was a great choice. He was on time, knowledgeable, and thorough with his work. And on top of that he was quite personable and easy going! I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of conversation, whether it be about the property or general life stuff!Oh and did I mention he brings his own mini vacuum and cleans up after himself?! Very respectful to the space he is in.All this to say, Germain was awesome to work with and I would genuinely recommend him for any pre-sale home inspections.

As a first time home buyer I’m extremely pleased with the Germain!TLDR: no need to look any further Germain’s the professional you’re looking for. If you’re reading reviews, stop and just give him a call!!Buying your first home is an exciting, terrifying and overwhelmingly rewarding experience, and having the right people on your team really makes the difference.I chose Germain due to his outstanding reviews and he really lives up to his reputation!When I called Germain he was very kind and took the time to answer my questions. Through these questions we discovered that we really could work well together as we agree on fundamentals of owning a home. Germain mentioned that he would be thorough and it could be overwhelming but this excited me! I’m not buying a home with rose coloured glasses, I know they all need work and wanted someone who would provide me as much detail as possible so I could make a list based on priority and go from there.On inspection day Germain had contacted me early to confirm all was in order and when he would be there. When he showed up he introduced himself, reconfirmed his “style” and then went to inspecting the home.I was amazed with the quality of his inspection, I stayed out of his way, spending my time further investigating my home, when Germain found things of note he mentioned them – this was super nice, I didn’t want to over crowd him while he was working, but having him come let me know of concerning things was such a relief.At the end of the home inspection he gave me a verbal report of his findings and recommendations. He was extremely thorough and we have a fantastic list of “right now” and a 5 year plan for some other items.We have never owned a home, but we own vehicles and understand that investments of this scale require regular maintenance and repair to maintain usefulness and value. It was fantastic to align ourselves with a professional who, in my opinion, went above and beyond assisting us in making an educated financial decision, I think the nearly 90 page report speaks to that as well!Thank you Germain, we appreciate you and are happy you were a part of our home buying experience! I wish you and your family the best – you deserve it! – Lee and Eddie

***** UPDATED: to follow up and in support of my original review, I have needed a home inspector again and purposely sought out this same person. Germain is on time and pleasant. He will take the time to address any concerns you have and discuss them in detail with you. Most of all he is extremely thorough and leaves nothing that hasn’t been scrutinized. I honestly went into the inspection with very low expectations and came out totally impressed. I would highly recommend his company to anyone

Since we live in Ontario and were working long distance with a realtor in the Truro area, we had to rely on her recommendation for someone to inspect the property we were looking to purchase. Her recommendation of Jason was an excellent one. He returned our call in a reasonable amount of time and was very pleasant to deal with. He was prompt in fulfilling our request and provided a comprehensive report. I would highly recommend Jason and would use his services again.

As a first time home buyer it is an exciting and thrilling time, but can also be stressful. What you see in a home viewing typically is the potential, but we fail to see or think of any issues. I knew going into this next chapter in life I wanted the process done right. A home inspection was a must, and I’m so thankful to of had Jason conduct one.To be honest, I didn’t know what I was getting with this inspection I just knew I needed it for my own peace of mind to ensure I’m making the right move.Extremely thorough with a user friendly layout and navigation through the report when it was sent. Packed full of photos and even in the photos he took the time to put arrows pointing to a specific item he was discussing about in that section. He even used a drone to capture the state of the roof, gutters and chimney!Video footage was also provided of the septic system which was another surprise yet was thankful for. Like I said, he is extremely thorough. I appreciated the colour coded descriptions and his suggestions of fixes.I highly recommend Jason to anyone. Punctuality, honest, thorough and polite phone etiquette.

I am a REALTOR® from Halifax and I occasionally buy/sell in the Northern/Highland regions. I do not actively seek work in the area but when friends or family need my help, I am always there. Each time I need an inspection it is Drew that I call. I like an inspection who answers my client’s questions. Who explains what they need to know about their new home and what items that need to be addressed in the future. He does a walk through with the clients and explains everything about the home. Thats the kind of inspector I will always call upon. Its about service and what buyers should expect and Drew always does exactly what my clients need without me saying a word. Thats the service I will always return for. Every single time. Thank you Drew!

I contacted Jason about a home inspection on a Wednesday and had the actual inspection two days later. He showed up earlier and did some outside inspecting before our scheduled time, and showed me what he found when I arrived. He was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable with the rest of the home inspection, answering any questions we had for him. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend him!

Great stuff. Detailed report. Drone used for upper exterior and roof.I found the report a little hard to follow. When doing a multi unit, it’d be easier to follow in my opinion if it was unit by unit, not all the kitchens, all the electrical.. etc etc.

Drew is amazing at helping inform buyers about their big purchase. Buying a home is a lot less scary with the wealth of information Drew and his team provide. He is always there to answer questions from buyers and agents! Drew takes pride in making the new home owner comfortable for years to come by setting out a time line of when things should be upgraded. When it comes to people, Drew is compassionate and kind, when it comes to homes he is an EXPERT!

He has even offered to meet us at the house when we get possession to go over everything in person. He has given us a list of people who can help us fix what needs repair.I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is needing a home inspection.

We have used Drew twice in the last 3 months to do home inspections. We bought our home sight unseen, from a different province so we relied heavily on his assessment to ensure the home we were buying was in great shape. He was very thorough and I felt confident in purchasing our home.Even after we arrived in Nova Scotia, he was always there to answer specific questions we had, and referred us to other contractors when needed.I have just used him again this week in the purchase of a home for my parents, and he was absolutely fantastic! Hopefully I don’t have to buy another home again, but if I do, I will definitely use Drew again!

Positive experience with A Buyer’s Choice for a home inspection. Germain is very thorough, very detailed, and very friendly. He described what he was doing if asked and explained the process as necessary so we were informed. He provided a quick turnaround on his findings in a lengthy report. The report is detailed and accented with photos highlighting issues, including things that may need to be addressed over time. It is easy to follow and provides reference to the potential home purchasers, the sellers, and the agent. He was on time and did not rush.
