Svetlana and Judy were excellent with our home inspection. They were incredibly thorough with their work and provided a report with outstanding detail. They addressed all of our concerns and provided useful advise.I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a job well done and a professional service.

My husband and I need to move out of our 4 level split level home we’ve lived in and raised our family since 1985. We’re downsizing to a 2 bedroom condo and we needed it Inspected.We called this company and Judy did a thorough inspection of the condo. Also filled me in as the what our responsibility would be and what is the Condo Boards. She had a complete report uploaded to us a few hours later.Very satisfied with Judy and her work. Thank You

I’ve been working with Judy for over 10 years, and she’s one of the best inspectors I’ve ever worked with. Her communication is always quick, clear, and straight to the point. She’s punctual and extremely thorough with her inspections.What I really appreciate is that she often comes with another inspector, which makes the process faster and more efficient with two knowledgeable inspectors, the job is done right and in less time. On average, her inspections take about 1.5 hours, compared to 2.5 to 3 hours when it’s just one person.Judy is professional, detail-oriented, and provides both a clear, knowledgeable verbal summary and a well-written, easy-to-understand report. I highly recommend Judy for anyone looking for a reliable and experienced home inspector.Guido Kamanzi, Realtor – Edmonton

This is the second time we used Judy for a home inspection and once again we were pleased with the results. Judy and Svetlana were our home inspectors for our upcoming purchase. They were thorough and explained everything as we went along. They were more than willing to answer all of our questions and pointed out many things I never would have thought of. Their willingness to answer more questions after the inspection is a big plus for us. Their practical and no nonsense approach is really appreciated

We recently had the pleasure of working with two inspectors from A Buyer’s Choice and we couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service, professionalism, and expertise provided. From start to finish, the inspection was thorough, detailed, and clearly communicated.Dumitru and his team mate arrived on time, was well-prepared, and took the time to explain every important aspect of the inspection in plain language. They didn’t rush through the process and made sure we understood the condition of each major system in the home. The detailed report—complete with high-resolution photos, clear summaries, and actionable recommendations—was delivered promptly and served as a valuable resource during our home buying decision.What truly stood out was their integrity and commitment to helping us make an informed decision. They weren’t alarmist, but they also didn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s clear they have the homeowner’s best interest at heart.We wholeheartedly recommend A Buyer’s Choice to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and highly knowledgeable home inspector. Their service gave us peace of mind and saved us from potential surprises down the road.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are unmatched.Judy has an amazing way of explaining her findings in a clear, approachable manner, which puts my clients at ease during what can often be a stressful part of the home buying process. Her thoroughness and integrity give everyone the confidence they need to move forward with informed decisions.The entire team is punctual, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They consistently go above and beyond to deliver top-tier service, and I’ve seen firsthand how much they genuinely care about the people they serve.If you're looking for an inspector you can count on time and time again—whether you're a buyer, seller, or another real estate professional—you won’t find better than Judy and her team. They're simply the best in the business!

I was very pleased with the home inspection that I had received on a property that I was quite interested in buying. After receiving the inspection on the property I had recinded my offer as there was way too much to do in repairs.. one being fire hazards on more than one occasion. Thank you again.. saved me money in not buying this property.

I seldom left comments on Google Review, as far as I know, this is my second review and I want to say "thank you very much Judy and Jeremy for your great work!!". On October 4, Judy and Jeremy inspected the townhouse I want to purchase. They explained many things to me patiently and nicely. My big concern was the cracks on the garage floor. Judy explained to me why they are okay and were not caused by drainage. Jeremy found toilet leak and also gave me great suggestions on the maintenance of attic. Thank you so much Judy and Jeremy!!

As first time buyers we were running blindly through steps. Judy came highly recommended by a coworker at a point where we were stressed out and feeling quite overwhelmed with it all. She was friendly and accommodating to our needs. She walked my husband through each step of the inspection, pointing out even the smallest things most people would never consider and giving advice on how to repair and what to watch for. The detailed report was extremely thorough and made us feel more at ease with our decision making. We will definitely be recommending her to anyone who needs and she will be our first call if we ever go through this again. Very professional and knowledgeable!

My realtor recommended Judy for a recent home inspection and now that makes perfect sense. We were able to tell immediately that she's very experienced and knowledgeable - and the inspection report confirmed that.The final report was exceptionally thorough and helpful. I'm a lot more comfortable completing this purchase with the information she provided, not to mention very well equipped to fix and maintain the property going forward.Highly recommended.

Please let me start by saying that Judy seems to be a good person, who means well and trying her best. But trying your best and being a "qualified" Inspector are not the same! I am aware that no one is perfect, including myself, but at the same time a line needs to be drawn when there are WAY WAY too many mistakes ; which at this time have affected greatly not just financially, but also physically and mentally.Every professional and even handymen who came to my place to help me kept asking me if I had a rookie inspector; but based on the positive reviews that I had seen it did not seem the case. My major mistake was not being there while the inspection was being done! Since a lot of the things that were missed did not require a certificate or a college degree. I bought my house in April 2022 but only have time to write a review now since I mainly had to deal with the fallback of her inspection.Here are a list of some of the Major items missed1. My basement door could not open when I took possession of my house; after 2 minutes trying to figure out what was going on, I noticed that the wall next to the door was VERY MUCH curved. So much so that when i had a few handymen take a look they asked me if I had my house inspected because it was so obvious. Estimate $1600 to repair the frame and install a new door.2. I called a handyman to paint my backyard porch, only to find out that my porch actually had no support and was not even anchored to the house. It made sense because I always had the feeling of sinking when walking on it. Thankfully the front porch was a little better. Estimate $2000 to add support although it is not up to code (but I don't have additional money)3. While looking at the front porch, the handyman told me he could actually see the ceiling of my basement. Yes, there was a very large gap allowing you to see the basement ceiling and HVAC ducts. Estimate $2000 to properly fill the space with insulation and fully seal the gap.4. Yes, there was another 24 inch gap next to the front door... but that one required actual attention so i will leave it alone since I was able to fix it on my own.5. She supposedly had done a "recall" check on all my appliances and nothing came back... WRONG!!! My furnace was a recall because it was a Coleman furnace known for Fire issues. Did I also mentioned that Coleman are not meant for regular houses but Mobile homes???!!! Again, I was asked if I had my house inspected since it was apparently very obvious that the Furnace was about to die. Estimate $6500 to remove and replaceThere is WAY much more but I do not want to write a bible here. If there is a way for me to sue or if a lawyer is willing to help me. please do reach out!!! This is not just about all my financial loss but also the time, energy and mental strength it took to get all the right resources and people to help me out.I think Judy would be a great inspector for a fairly New built, but for old homes that have been renovated, she is definitely not the right person in my opinion based on my experience. I believe it stems from the fact that she seems to have very limited knowledge when it comes to "construction" and "handy work" in general. She may know what a book says, but has no practical knowledge to really understand what could be causing what in a house. I have noticed that after reading her inspection report and when I called her to talk about some items (example: the report will say, there is a bulge on the wall and if you ask her what could be the origin, she has no clue. I had to learn from a handyman that it is typically due to water intrusion)Again, I think Julie is a good person, and means well but no I would definitely not recommend her.
