Dave was so incredibly easy to deal with. He responded far before any of the other inspectors we contacted. We had to change the date of the inspection a couple of times and he was very flexible. The inspection was remote and he was willing to make the trip. He was very thorough and took the time to answer all of my husbands many many questions! I would highly recommend Dave Brar from A Buyers Choice.

Had a very thorough inspection performed. Able to accommodate our request for inspection within a few days. Ultimately the inspection results revealed we did not want to proceed with our purchase. Some findings were actually very surprising. We were prepared to spend money on maintenance and repairs but not as much as the inspection found. Worth every penny to have a home inspection performed.

To say that I am happy with their service would be an understatement. This team goes well above and beyond the call, by far. Not only were they professional, prompt, and efficient, they are an incredibly friendly and personable duo. I sincerely appreciated the personal touch which permeated all aspects of their service. They don't simply operate as a business. They genuinely care about what they do. I would and will recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you so much.

I hired Dave and Heather to inspect my first home purchase. They were soooo kind, professional and helpful. I got the report and couldn’t believe how thorough they were with the inspection. The report was crazy thorough but also laid in a way that was detailed but easy for me to understand. Dave called me to go over things, allowed me to read the report and then called me the next day to make sure I understood everything. For a first time home buyer who was unsure of certain things, Dave provided me so much guidance. I 1000/10 recommend

Dave was recommended by one of my friend. Since I rushed over from other places at the time when they did my home inspections, I didn't have enough time to listen their detail explanation of my new house. Dave not only did give me a detailed report, but also took another time to come back and give me a detailed explanation. Besides, the after-sales service is so impressive. After half a year, I couldn’t find the switch of the outdoor faucet. I sent an email to the former homeowner but didn’t get the answer. So I sent Dave a message. Even on Sunday, he came here. Helped me solve the problem.So if you need a professional HOME INSPECTIONS, I highly recommend Dave!!

Two people are much better than one. Dave and Heather are awesome. They spent 4 hour plus to go through everything possibly be insepected for my future home. If you hire them, you spend money for one insection, but two certified inspectors are coming in and going through way more than one. Also, their report is way more detailed than other inspectors. I highly recommend!

A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections is simply AMAZING! I’m helping my client buy in Vernon which is out of my service area. I found A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections through Google search and I am pleased to have come across this company. Dave and Heather went above and beyond my expectations. Always courteous over the phone, arrived on time and was quick and efficient, and the report was delivered fast.We were so impressed with his attention to detail. They saved us from buying a home that had too many repairs and unknowns from a poor design, even though the house looks great on photos. We soon got Dave and Heather on a second job which they again showed great knowledge and professionalism.Dave and Heather really care about their customers and talk you through everything. They even offer to my client who almost knows nobody in town of future help if needed. 100% worth the money!It's not often that you come across professionals who provide a service well done and know that they have your best interest in mind. I very pleased to recommend A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections to anyone and everyone. You absolutely need to go with an inspector like Dave and Heather to have peace of mind about your property decision.

Dave and Heather were amazing. We attended the inspection at our appointment time and Dave was already up on the roof getting busy. The inspection was extremely thorough and identified a number of issues but they were also very helpful about pointing out items that were maintenance tips and good to know items. They worked very hard, were extremely knowledgable and we would highly recommend them for your inspection needs.

We had an amazing time with Dave and Heather. They helped us decide to walk away from our first offer due to issues we wouldn't have been able to predict and then they helped us go through with our second offer on a perfect home for us. They are quick to respond, kind, helpful and good humoured. They are extremely thorough and professional and provide a hugely detailed report right after and are available in the coming weeks for questions and some good deals on other services to the home. I would highly recommend. They made our first home buyers experience great.

Dave and Heather are really excellent to work with! As a Realtor, it's a big deal who you refer people too. I have absolutely no worries that they will do an outstanding inspection, provide a legible and thorough report and leave the client satisfied with their findings. They make me look good! They also make my life easy by working with and scheduling the other related inspections like the WETT and Septic when required They are at the top of my referral list and I always hope my clients choose them.

I loved working with Dave and Heather. When someone spends 3 hours at your house, you want to feel like they're welcomed guests and I'd have these 2 over for dinner any day! They were quick to respond, thorough in their inspection, provided great suggestions and helped me understand every aspect of the report. They came back to answer questions they felt were better answered by showing me rather than emailing me. I fully endorse this great duo and wish them great success in the Okanagan!

Heather and Dave are true professionals; thorough inspectors, quality reporting and timely delivery. The process was easy, the job was done when they said it would be, and shortly thereafter I received a very detailed report with photos and a scaled list of recommendations (ie. needs-immediate-attention to you-should-know-about-this). The report was easy to understand and gave me peace of mind. It was an older home and I have comfort seeing that every detail was inspected. I would highly recommend Heather and Dave for anyone looking for a trustworthy home inspector. Thank you, Heather and Dave!!

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 Okanagan, BC

The housing market in the Okanagan region of British Columbia is known for its high demand and relatively high prices. According to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board, the average home price in the region is around $700,000, which is higher than the national average. The market is considered to be a seller’s market, with a low supply of homes compared to the high demand. There are a variety of housing options available in the region, from older homes in established neighborhoods to newer developments on the outskirts of town, as well as several luxury properties with spectacular views of the lake and mountains.

The most popular neighborhoods in the Okanagan include Kelowna, Penticton, and Vernon, which offer a mix of historic homes and newer developments. There are also several new communities in the region, such as Lakestone and The Outback, which offer modern homes with easy access to amenities. The region’s real estate market is expected to remain strong in the coming years, driven by a growing population and a robust local economy. Overall, while the housing market in the Okanagan may be considered expensive, the region offers a high quality of life and a range of housing options for those who can afford it.
