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.

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.

I really feel he had my back and I'll definitely get him in again to see if everything was completed to his satisfaction. I'd highly recommend James to do your house inspection to give you piece of mind in your new home.

As a realtor, it's crucial to have a home inspector who is not only thorough but also easy for clients to talk to and understand. James Robinson ticks all these boxes and more. I recently had the pleasure of working with James for a buyer client's home inspection, and his service was exceptional. His attention to detail during the inspection and his ability to communicate complex issues in an accessible manner were particularly impressive. I would not hesitate to use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable home inspector. Thank you, James, for your outstanding work!

We had James perform an inspection on a home recently as part of our subject removal process. The property is in Parksville and we are on the mainland, so the entire experience was via phone and internet but James made it feel very personal and that added to our confidence in making the purchase. The report was thorough and professionally delivered with good use of images and videos to help make all the observations easy to understand.

James has worked for a family member of mine twice in the last year and both times he has exceeded our expectations & truly worked in the best interest of the client. He goes above and beyond to explain clearly and carefully and in plain terms what he has found. Both times we have worked with him the weather has been miserable and he doesn’t complain or cut any corners. He thoroughly walks you through his findings & ensures that you are clear before moving on. We highly recommend James as he is honest, hardworking, professional and goes above and beyond what you might find in this industry.

I was extremely impressed with the level of service I received for the home inspection I needed on my pending home purchase! It is such a huge investment, and James did a fantastic job. The digital report, which includes video and photos, also listed discovered issues in Levels of priority. Items which need to be addressed immediately and those that could be done over time. The report is designed so you can just send the individual contractors their relevant part of the report, so they can see exactly what needs to be done. Thorough, friendly, professional service. I strongly recommend Wave Home Inspection. You’ll be very happy with the results.

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.

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,

Monster Free Guarantee

We have kids too – so we get it. Moving can be scary! That’s why we include a Monster Free Guarantee and encourage you to bring your children to the home inspection. 

We can check under the stairs, in closets and under beds – or anywhere your kids would like us to look – at no additional charge to help set their minds at ease that there are no monsters, ghosts or gremlins present in your new home.
