Utmost respect for Austin's professionalism: thorough in his inspection identifying hidden deficiencies and pointing out things to note in a 6-yr old townhome that we've made an offer on. Subsequent to the walkthrough at the site, we got a 74-page report outlining in great details all aspects plus the condition of the property — from the roof, the foundation, utility room's items such as the heat pump to the bathroom exhaust fans and kitchen sink! Appreciate also the advice on fixing the existing problems and on the general upkeep of the property. Awesome!!

Austin performed a home inspection for my partner and I on a home we are hoping to purchase, and I could not be happier we chose him. His inspection was extremely thorough and detailed.Afterwards he guided us throughout the house and explained his findings clearly. Just like you would get a mechanic to go over a used car before buying, Austin helped us understand the house and uncover any hidden potential issues that could surprise us down the road. We are very greatful for the peace of mind that his service provides!Thank you Austin!From Cole and Ashley

We have purchased a few homes over the years and been subject to the obligatory home inspections and have some times questioned their value. Not this time, the experience withAustin from "A Buyers Choice Home Inspections" in Nanaimo was a completely different from anything we have experienced before. Austin went well above and beyond a typical home inspection and spent a lot of time with us reviewing his findings, making reasonable recommendations, and answering questions. The report he has provided is comprehensive and includes a number of maintenance tips to help us maintain our new home for years to come. Austin checked in with us prior to the appointment to ensure we were on schedule and followed up afterwards to let us know that we can contact him with questions about our home for as long we own it. Plus, he provided a home info kit with suggested maintenance tips and schedules. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend "A Buyers Choice Home Inspection" and in particular Austin Richter in Nanaimo. His service is second to none.

Lea Ortner

00:22 09 Feb 26

Peter Thompson

21:36 02 Feb 26

Very impressed. Austin was very thorough, polite, personable, reasonably priced, and offers free technical advice for as long as you own the property. I've purchased a number of properties over the years and this is the first time the inspector has met me afterwards and walked me through and around the property to explain their findings before sending the report (63 pages for a 2 bedroom condo), which arrived the next day. He also provides a link to a booklet that lists typical home repair costs and maintenance schedule, which is especially helpful if you're a first time buyer.

Terrie-Leah Kovesdi

We had Austin, with A Buyers Choice, perform an inspection on a 80s home that we had put an offer in on. There were a few areas we were concerned about and he was able to put our mind at ease and give us all the steps and timelines for repairs so we could feel confident buying the house. I would highly recommend using Austin at A Buyer’s Choice for any inspections you might need as he has an amazing knowledge of all aspects of construction and realistic recommendations for repairs. He was very helpful with all of our questions and gave a very thorough report that will be a great tool as we move along with improvements and repairs with the house!

Kerry O'Rourke

20:37 16 Sep 25

Austin was incredible - he jumped through the hoops required with the tenant that was still in the house (even staying incredibly late to get the inspection done). We couldn't be there as we were away, so he took the time to zoom call us the next day to go over any concerns we had. He was incredibly professional, genuine, knowledgeable, and we felt like we were in the best hands. Could not recommend him enough!

Crystal-Anne and Jonathan

18:19 16 Sep 25

Another excellent inspection. Great attention to detail, Austin is extremely thorough, friendly, offers suggestions, open to client calls for the purpose of answering questions. He doesn’t mind repeating himself as he often has to review his findings for me, Realtor, and the Purchaser. I feel extremely confident recommending Austin to my buyers and sellers and am grateful to have my clients in such capable hands. The inspection process is always a point of stress for purchasers and it is such an asset to have experience, competency, and availability from any professional you’ve recommended. I feel genuine relief knowing Austin from A Buyers Choice will be the inspector for any of my Clients transactions. Definitely 5 Stars.

Austin was very through and professional, id highly recommend him.

Ryan Denslow

16:02 14 Aug 25

Better than 99.9% of other home inspectors. I’m an ex realtor so I know this very well. Most inspectors work more for the realtor who referred them than you because if they find stuff that collapses a deal a realtor would be out a big commission and likely not recommend that inspector again.Austin is BY FAR the most thorough and honest inspector I’ve ever dealt with. I highly recommend him, he’s super busy (obviously) so even if you have to extend subject removal dates to get him to inspect your property it’s well worth the wait!!!Amazing honest, knowledgeable and moral guy, I can’t say enough good things about him!!!

Dudeski

01:27 13 Aug 25

Austin did a very thorough inspection for my clients and gave them clear and detailed explanations of all potential issues with the home. Highly recommended!
