We got some mould in the basement because it was so wet last summer. I wanted to make sure we didn't have a foundation leak. Justin checked with his thermo camera and inspected inside and outside. Luckily, no leak. It didn't take him long so he asked me if I had other concerns about my house. We checked the side door and the sump pump. We looked at where the birds used to nest in the dryer vent. All good. No upsell. He didn't make me feel like my questions were dumb. Peace of mind and super affordable. I should have called him sooner. Thanks Justin.

Justin and Brendan did an excellent job inspecting my house prior to purchase! They were extremely thorough and very professional throughout the entire process. They made sure to take lots of pictures, used up to date equipment and explained each step of the procedure so that I could understand exactly what shape the house was in. They showed up early, and got started right away. The entire inspection was efficient and I felt very comfortable with the report that was given. I’d recommend these two to anyone who values their own time and money. They helped make a stressful situation, go smooth and easy with not even a minor hiccup, and also helped me save a few thousand dollars! If you’re buying or selling a house, these two gentleman are the ones to go with!

Justin and his partner did an inspection for an acreage we are buying and they were FANTASTIC to work with. Professional, super thorough and very knowledgeable. They explained all aspects of the inspection and the parameters they search through when they complete an inspection. Photos were provided of each item they discussed and a very thorough paper report was also sent to us leaving us feeling very comfortable in purchasing the home. Such a great service and awesome people to work with! THANK YOU Justin!!

Brendan was recommended to us by our broker. His timing was perfect. Brendan and Justin were already at the property before I got there. Their work ethics were on point. Communication was great; they did their job and explained their findings to us immediately afterwards. The inspection was helpful in recognizing issues beyond the regular walk-through and showing of the property. They assured us that they will be available to answer any of our questions even after the inspection. The inspection report was provided to us the same day. So timely, efficient, and great work ethics. I highly recommend buyer’s choice home inspection to anyone exploring inspection.

We recently went through a Buyers Choice to inspect the home we are purchasing. The company was recommended to me by my realtor and a friend. But I chose Brendan based on his qualifications and great reviews. Brendan and Justin were great! They were versatile and super knowledgeable. They were more than happy to answer any questions I had and ensured I understood everything they were explaining to me. They were also super on time. I had a home inspected on the North Side of Edmonton. And if you are like me and felt flooded with your choices as to who you should go with to inspect your new home. Choose Brendan Bella. You will not be disappointed.

Justin was very informative and knowledgeable. He answered all questions that I had during the inspection. At the end of inspection, he took time to go over report to inform me of things that were of priority that needed to be fixed. It was pleasure to dealing with Justin and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection.

Justin is absolutely phenomenal at what he does. He is completely thorough, friendly, solution-based, and his eye for detail doesn't miss a darned thing. His years of trades experience also bring a particular value to his abilities as a home inspector. Justin has helped me identify leaks and other deficiencies I didn't even know existed. You would truly be hard pressed to find a more dedicated, honest or knowledgeable home inspector in this city. I'd 100% recommend him to anyone looking to hire an inspector, no matter how big or small the job. He also isn't too hard on the eyes, so you have that there for ya.

We were very pleased with the home inspection done by Mr. Hackenschmidt. He answered our pre-inspection questions with patience and understanding. His report was prompt and both comprehensive and detailed. The follow-up Inspection Information Booklet is very helpful.

Recently had a house inspected by both Justin and Brendan. Two inspectors for the price of one. I came across a buyer's choice through Reddit, they had plenty of excellent reviews and I was not disappointed.I had to rethink about my interest in buying the house after the number of items Brendan and Justin found. They found everything from the smallest items that could be easily overlooked to critical items. The report was meticulous.Afterwards, they were able to give suggestions as to how to fix the items in the report or who to contact. They were knowledgeable and answered all questions that I had.I will definitely be recommending this team to anyone who is looking for home inspectors.

I was very lucky to have Brenden get referred to me by realtor. He was super easy going very professional answered all my questions and the report that was done was beyond my expectation which was already set very high from my realtor. He truly left no stone unturned to provide me with peace of mind on the property I purchased. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trust worthy inspector!

Justin is a constant professional. He is not only upfront but very knowledgeable and easy to relate with on a buyer and sellers level. Many things can be confusing for a buyer/seller during the inspection process but Justin explains himself very well and makes sure to walk through everything step by step until you are comfortable with the process.I highly recommend Justin with Buyers Choice.

As a Realtor, I suggest the Inspectors do NOT show up 30-40 minutes early unless the phone and check with the Realtor first.

Justin and his team were professional and easy to deal with. We had a short time frame to get our inspection done and they were flexible about booking an appointment time to accommodate this. They showed up early and started the exterior inspection. They were very thorough while performing the inspection. They took the time to report their findings in person after the inspection and made themselves available via phone or email should I have further questions upon receiving the detailed report they provided later that day. Thanks Buyer’s Choice for making the inspection easy and stress free!

He confirmed the appointment ahead of time and arrived on time. Very polite and professional. I liked that he took the time to show me areas of concern and explain things to me when he was done. It was nice not to have to follow him around during the inspection. Would definitely use him if I move again.

My wife and I just purchased a townhouse as our first home. We had tried to line up an inspector through our Realestate agent, but timing never lined up, and we were just a few days before removal of conditions. I contacted Justin at buyers choice, and he got me scheduled in right away.I was hoping to be present for the inspection, but had to work. When I recieved the report, I was stunned at how thorough it was. I am very experienced in construction, and could tell that they knew exactly what they were doing. They even caught quite a bit that I had missed.After the inspection, I had a few questions, and Justin was available immediately to answer them, and explained everything thoroughly. I am confident in the condition of our new home, thanks to Justin and his team. I will definitely be using them again in the future, and very highly recommend them!Thanks again!

Luckily, no leak. It didn't take him long so he asked me if I had other concerns about my house. We checked the side door and the sump pump.
