Austin was exceptional in his thoroughness and attention to every detail of the inspection he did for me, including taking all the time necessary to give me a complete rundown of his findings orally, which was then followed up with a very comprehensive written report. I will definitely access his experience again in the near future, and am referring him to a contact who just asked me for the name of someone who would do a great inspection for her. Thank you, Austin!

Austin at A Buyers Choice did an amazing job. I believe it takes a specific kind of person to be a good home inspector; they need to be very meticulous and detail oriented. Austin was more than just good at his job. He actually was very good at explaining all the things on the inspection, and didn’t throw weird industry jargon words at us, he kept things simple and to the point.Thank you Austin!

I was very pleased with the inspection. In fact, even before the inspection, there were positive results. The tenant had cleaned the house to an extent that was amazing. Part of the problem has been the untidiness of the place, the damage was only part of the problem. Tomorrow I will start with some repair work. It will last for a few weeks

Austin did an amazing, detailed house inspection on a home I recently purchased. He was prompt to respond, completed the inspection within good time to remove the subjects and provided space to answer questions on the walk through. The report was excellent, easily understood by a layperson yet with enough detail for a contractor. I would recommend Austin for any kind of inspection job. Thanks Austin for providing such an excellent service. Rachel

Austin was very professional and helpful with the inspection for my purchase of my new home. I was not able to attend, and he was very good explaining everything over the phone with myself, my realtor and my sister who both attended on my behalf. Austin also called me later that evening to go over the report, to assist with urgent items to attend to. With his assistance and report I was able to complete my purchase with confidence. I would recommend with no hesitation. Thank you Austin!

We had Brad perform an inspection on a house we had an offer on. We were beyond impressed in the level of detail, professionalism and knowledge he showed at this inspection. The value you receive from getting this inspection done is absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend A Buyers Choice to anyone who is buying a home. We will absolutely use them again if we buy another house in the area!!

Brad was incredibly thorough and professional. He didn’t rush through anything - and gave us a ton of time answering all our questions and explaining details of the home inspection. His report was seamless, easy-to-read, and was delivered exactly when he said it would be.Although we’ve used a few building inspectors in the past, Brad was by far the best, and delivered the most in-depth, easy to understand report - I would recommend his service to anyone who wants a home inspection done right. Worth every cent.Thank you!

Brad was very diligent and thorough in his inspection. The inspection report was very detailed but provided the information in a non technical way to make it easy to understand. He provided lots of pictures of each area he had reviewed and provided very clear recommendations on any suggested remedial action. I would strongly recommend Brad on any of your future inspection needs.

Very professional, on time, polite, courteous, etc. He completed a detailed Home Inspection report and an email copy was received the next morning. I would recommend Brad, Owner of Buyer's Choice Home Inspections to do one's home inspection. I think it is always best to have a home inspection done before purchasing a property. Thank You Brad, well done.

Why Hire an Inspector?

Inspectors are critical in insuring that you are making an informed choice when purchasing or selling your home or property. Inspectors are trained to see through cover-ups, low-quality renovations and issues that might be coming up.

Be Informed

Hiring an inspector helps make sure you have all the information you need to make the right choice. 

Get to know your home.

An Inspector can help you understand the ins and outs of your home in ways you may not have thought of.

The Housing Market in Nanaimo, BC

Nanaimo’s housing market is filled with a variety of options ranging from single family homes to luxurious waterfront properties. With plenty of suburban neighborhoods, new developments and downtown condos, there’s something to suit nearly any budget or lifestyle. Home prices have been steadily increasing due to the shortage of available homes as demand outstrips supply.

The city offers an abundance of natural beauty and scenic views which makes it an attractive destination for retirees, families looking for a more relaxed lifestyle and investors looking for strong returns on their real estate investments. Whether you are searching for a starter home or a luxury property, Nanaimo has something to offer everyone. With its affordable cost of living, low crime rate and vibrant cultural scene, it’s no wonder Nanaimo has become such a popular destination for people around the world.
