James was great! Was incredibly responsive and quick in scheduling the inspection on my potential purchase and getting the report done. He was thorough, friendly, accommodating, and clearly explained issues that arose in way I could understand and could later explain to the seller/seller’s agent. Really appreciated his communication through the entire process and the fact he followed up a day later to ensure I was content and to answer any outstanding/additional questions.

Brad came out to Bamfield to complete an inspection on a large home we were considering buying. He did an incredibly thorough job, and helped keep problems and fixes in perspective. He gave a clear explanation of issues, possible fixes and did not sugarcoat anything. We ended up with a really clear idea of what we were getting into, and he even followed up afterwards to see how things were going. The report he generated was great, and now that we’ve purchased the home, we will use it as a reference for prioritizing future repairs.

If you need a home inspection – HIRE AUSTIN!! We were trying to purchase an older home in Nanoose Bay.. Austin did an detailed complete inspection for us and provided amazing detail, recommendations and pictures of everything. He did fantastic job of explaining everything to us in detail when we met him onsite.Because of his inspection, major issues and repair were found in the home and we decided not to proceed with the purchase. Disappointed we did not purchase the house, but it was his inspection that found all the major issue that made us decide that it was not worth purchasing the home.I cannot say enough about his professionalism, attitude and detail of his reports.If you want a home inspection done the right way! Hire Austin and Buyers choice.. He will ensure you know everything about the home to make a informed decision on what to do.Thanks AustinBob & Kristy

I cannot say enough about the service that was provided. Brad was knowledgable and professional. He was able to explain his findings in a clear and concise manner. His detailed, and well formatted report will serve as a valuable guide for upcoming repairs for years to come. I especially liked that at the end of the report there is a general summary of typical household repairs and the average cost of making those repairs. Not being responsible for household repairs for many years, I found this especially useful. The service doesn’t end there. The company makes itself available if question arise in the future. . Highly recommended!

We hired Austin from ‘A Buyers Choice Home Inspections’ to complete a pre-purchase home inspection recently. His inspection of the building was very thorough – from roof top to crawl space and everything in between. He followed up afterwards with a very detailed report that he reviewed with us, including points he suggested may need attention sooner rather than later. Austin was so polite and patient with us and answered all our questions. He provided a great service and I would highly recommend him!!!

Brad’s home inspection was very thorough; he was knowledgeable and professional during our walk through and was able to answer any questions we had. Upon pointing out some little details we never would have noticed on our own, we commented that he had a great eye, which he jokingly said was ‘a curse’. Well, his curse is a blessing for us home buyers! He put us at ease knowing what we were getting with such a big purchase. He also included some technical advice for maintaining the property, which is a great resource. Overall excellent service!

As a local Real Estate Agent, I depend on the expertise of inspectors in pretty much every sale I make. Without a doubt Brad and the Team at A Buyer’s Choice have come through on the behalf of any of my Buyers that have employed them to inspect a prospective property for defects, outdated or failing components of a home, or just a honey-do list. This team has the knowledge to walk the lay person through major and minor repairs, make appropriate professional recommendations, and to offer support with open communication even after the inspection. They are always included in my list of recommendations because of their professionalism, knowledge, advanced equipment to take a deep dive into cold spots behind the walls, check for moisture, and they check the appliances which many inspection companies don’t. This crew is knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, communicative, diligent, and real. Pretty much everything we want for our Buyers, as a Realtor. Did I mention their reports are skookum. Report for deficiencies, one for insurance companies, very user friendly reporting system even for the layperson. No special skills necessary. These gents are my number one, though I have to refer 3 every time ;) those are the rules. But now you know my insider secret. Well done guys, and Thank You for years of good, old fashioned, honest, over and above, second to none service!

Our experience with Brad was exceptional. He is the premier choice of inspectors among many of Nanaimo’s realtors, for good reason. His solid experience in the construction industry, combined with his painstaking attention to detail, reassured us that he had captured all aspects of our potential home purchase.Brad carefully explained every issue with the house that needed attention, and he presented them in priority. E.g. Roof – immediately; furnace and heat pump – replace within another five years; electrical service – 100 amp adequate for current home requirements; a few other small details that needed tending to, etc. He was calm, humorous, professional, unrushed, and unfazed by our “ignorant” questions. (No such thing, apparently, as a dumb question.)The next morning we received our report, complete with full details and photos – all 75 pages!We wish he lived next door so we could be the pesky senior neighbours, but in the absence of that, we feel we’re off to a solid start with our new home.We could not recommend Brad highly enough.

I had a great all around experience with A Buyer’s Choice. Website was straightforward and easy to use. It was quick and easy to book an appointment.My property is a new build with warranty so I questioned whether or not to get an inspection – it was worth every penny. James was incredibly thorough with great attention to detail. All concerns/recommendations/deficiencies were well documented with photo and even video evidence as needed. Areas of concern were highlighted and explanation provided.Following the inspection, James provided a concise explanation of noted deficiencies, explained things in general terms for easy understanding and provided a tour to help me understand what/where/why. The final report was provided digitally for convenient access in a very detailed 57 page report outlining everything covered and more.All correspondence before and after with A Buyer’s Choice has been appreciated. Would highly recommend.

James is reponsive, flexible, and thorough. He did an amazing job organizing his thoughtful insights with clarity and actionable next steps. He went above and beyond, delivering his report the same day in order to help us make a decision on a short timeline. I will be thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him again!

Recently had James do an inspection for me. He was thorough and took the time to go through the report before sending off a copy to me the following day. The report was very detailed and included lots of good info. I would definitely recommend James for anyone looking for a home inspector, thanks again !

We contacted James with WHI Inspection on short notice. My client was very happy with the thoroughness of our home inspection. Mr. James was clearly knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail. It was such a piece of mind to get a very extensive full report explaining the issues. It made my clients feel safer in the house because I knew everything was checked the right way. He also used a thermal imaging tool and detected many insulation voids within the walls. Good job James.

James did a very thorough inspection for my clients on a large, relatively new home. He was exceptionally professional and very detail oriented. His report was robust and I felt that he provided excellent service to my clients with notes on future maintenance considerations. Well worth the time and money. He is a very personable guy and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend utilizing his services and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

James was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly thorough during the inspection of our potential new home and his knowledge and insight were reassuring and informative. Fingers crossed we won’t need his services again for years to come, but if we did, we would absolutely be calling James!

I recently had the pleasure of working with James, a remarkable and highly professional home inspector. I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service he provided throughout the entire inspection process. His dedication, knowledge, and commitment to our satisfaction truly set him apart.First and foremost, I must commend James for his incredible patience and understanding. Due to unforeseen circumstances involving a flea infestation, we were unable to proceed with the inspection on multiple occasions. However, James handled the situation with utmost professionalism and empathy. He had to come back three times to be able to complete this inspection and not once did he show any frustration behind it. He accommodated our needs and rescheduled the inspection without any hesitation or rush, ensuring that we felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.James demonstrated an impressive level of expertise and attention to detail during the inspection. He meticulously examined every aspect of the property, leaving no stone unturned. He was incredibly thorough, answering all of our questions with clarity and precision. His extensive knowledge and experience in the field were evident, and it was truly a pleasure to witness his dedication to his craft.Despite the challenges we faced, he maintained a cheerful and optimistic attitude throughout. His friendly and approachable nature created a welcoming environment, allowing us to feel comfortable discussing any concerns or queries we had along the way.Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone in need of a home inspector. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding choice.I highly recommend him without any hesitation and look forward to working with him again in the future.Five stars all the way! Thank you, James for your exceptional service!Sincerely,
