Inspector was able to attend property on short notice & during a long weekend. Arrived on time and took care when inspecting the owners home. Upon completion, he took the time to explain some areas of concern and followed up with an extensive easy to read inspection report. Would definitely utilize his service again!

Derrick provided a professional level inspection. I strongly feel that nothing was over looked and his knowledge and quality of work would benefit any buyer to make a confident decision in purchasing there new property. Being a dad with two young kids I appreciated the attention to detail with safety in areas I would have easily over looked. The follow up inspection report was done with clear information and solutions. Pricing for his service aligned with original quote even after showing up early and working late there were no hidden charges. I will use Buyers Choice Home Inspection again and recommend to my friends and family.

I had an extremely positive experience with Derrick, who assisted me with two separate home inspections in Calgary on a short turnaround basis. As a first-time homebuyer, it was reassuring to have someone as thorough as Derrick to inspect the home and explain deficiencies and maintenance items in a straightforward way. Derrick was always friendly and happy to answer my questions. Derrick sends a detailed inspection report (60+ pages) within a few hours of the inspection. He also provides a recall check report for any potential manufacturer recalls affecting the appliances in your home. Derrick is quick to respond by phone or text, and he continues to make himself available post-inspection to answer any questions related to the home inspection or home maintenance. Thank you for making the home inspection process so seamless, Derrick! I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Purchasing a home out of Province and with a quick possession date. Derrick did my inspection for me he was great to deal with, Derrick was able to get to my inspection within a few days of me contacting him very quick and accommodating for the quick possession date. Very friendly service with great communication and quick responses providing any information I was looking for prior to inspection, upon Derrick doing my inspection and me receiving the report I was more than satisfied he got me the report the same day of inspection in the evening. The home inspection report was very detailed with pictures Derrick had all the right tools for the job thermal camera etc. and had tons of knowledge and information/suggestions to offer, the report was very in depth and very thorough I am 100% satisfied with the service and report Derrick provided and would say a home buyers choice is a 5/5 star home inspection who I would highly recommend anyone go through when purchasing a home.

Derrick has done several inspections for us. He is very professional, explains his findings very well to the home buyers. He takes his time and is very thorough. The last inspection, he couldn't get into the attic hatch so had to make a second trip to the property after the home owner came home, almost an hour drive away. Thats great customer service in our opinion.Walz Real Estate Group highly recommends Derrick for your home inspection requirements.
