We are in the motions to buy a house and got put in touch with Shane. Shane more than exceeded our expectations. He was knowledgeable, transparent, thorough with a professional demeanour. Shane was super accommodating, worked with our schedules and the buyers and guided us through the whole process. I highly recommend the company and his expertise! We received a detailed report and accompanying detailed photos. After we had time to go through the report we had a follow up phone call where he was able to answer all of our questions. We were very fortunate to have been put in touch with him and have such an overall pleasant experience.

Patrick was responsive when I needed a home inspection under a tight timeline. He was professional and provided a great service to my buyer and to me(I'm a REALTOR). He took time to go over the results in person and on site. Reports with ABCHI are easy to read and understand and provide visual and written support to the findings. Thank you, Patrick.

Patrick did a great and very thorough inspection for my first time buyers, making them feel confident and at ease moving forward with their purchase. His in person review going over his findings at the house with the clients was very informative and a bonus so clients could really see what was being pointed out and ask any additional questions that came up. He went above and beyond and gave additional information about how other non issue things in the house work/operate. Definitely will recommend his professional and very knowledgeable services to everyone! Thank you Patrick for taking care of my clients.

We used Patrick’s services as a buyer , he was really thorough in his inspection and provided us with a 50 pages of clear , well detailed report, documenting each issues separately and included pictures. His services also continue post inspection with awesome support if needed. But the point that will differentiate him than other ones is his work ethic as he worked late to have our report out to us in a timely manner. Definitely will use him again when needed and refer him to our friends/family.

Patrick was very thorough with his inspection! Luckily, our home didn't have any major red flags, however he still took the time and talked us through all of the smaller issues that we would need to address and also included all of the potential issues we should keep our eye out for. During our walkthrough, he even suggested possible solutions to ensure our home is safe in every aspect. The final report was detailed and included pictures with arrows which was very helpful! Overall amazing service!!!

Attentive. Professional. Thorough. Descriptive. Trained eye. Well written. Documented Photos. Fair rates. Fantastic communication. Timely delivery. 100% Recommend.The 58 page report on the house we had a conditional accepted offer on was fantastic (and scary!). It was easy to read and he took care to extract at the beginning all the main critical factors with excellent photos showing the nature of the issues, including a photo of how far a screwdriver could be driven into a support post. You could tell from his comments that he brings significant experience.It was easy for the contractor to read to get a quote on what would be involved to repair it. We had it printed off for review at the house when we saw it with the contractor saving us all time and was a great starting point for a game plan on what to work on first.Because of the detailed and supported documentation we were able to get a fair negotiation on the house.Thank you Patrick and I look forward to you seeing the house when we’re done!

Paid for itself and then some with identifying two areas of unknown problems that the seller is fixing before purchase. Gone unnoticed, we’d be out thousands in what was preventative maintenance being overlooked, and a number of other little items. Will highly recommend - great communication, great service.

After a small scheduling hiccup, Shane managed to fit our inspection in short notice and in a time that worked best for us. The report he produced afterward was extremely detailed and clear pictures were taken of everything. Even after finishing the inspection he takes the time to ensure that the report is fully understood by following up with a phone call to go over everything and he has also been readily available over text when additional questions arose after the follow up call.

Shane Duffy from A Buyer's Choice is highly recommended for all your inspection needs. From the first time I contacted him to the time I was sent the report, Shane was very easy to talk to and kept me updated on the process during the inspection. Shane was very detailed during the inspection taking extra time to ensure I understood everything from the report. He took the time required to effectively inspect all components of the property and even spent additional time inspecting things that I thought might have been a concern. Thanks Shane for a job well done.

While I haven't had the opportunity of using Shane as a home inspector to date I can speak to his character and resourcefulness. I worked with Shane before he made the transition to home inspector, while working with Shane I witnessed on many occasions his professional and caring personality while dealing with less than ideal circumstances. Any time I had gone to Shane with a question if he didn't have the answer he would do the digging required to find the answer or requirements for the situation. I believe that Shane will make a great home inspector bringing the same resourcefulness and willingness to search for the correct things.
