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.

A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections, owned by Brad Clark, exceeded all expectations with their exceptional service. Brad was not only thorough in his inspection but also incredibly helpful throughout the process. One standout feature was the inclusion of free technical advice for as long as you own the property, which is invaluable for homeowners.After the inspection, I reached out to Brad for recommendations on tradespeople for minor repairs, and he promptly provided a detailed list. This level of support is crucial, especially for those not familiar with the industry, as it ensures trustworthy and reliable services.Brad Clark’s expertise and integrity are evident, and I can confidently say that I trust his recommendations and his 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.

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 referred to Brad by one of his colleagues who services a different region of Vancouver Island – what an incredible referral! Brad’s clear and prompt communication, attention to detail, array of services, and professional demeanour make all the difference in his industry.

Marylou Jarvis

02:26 12 Jun 24

The business name is all wrong; these guys should be called “we don’t miss a thing” home inspections or maybe “remarkably thorough and considerate” home inspections. Either way, the experience we had with Austin was an exceptional one. The feeling of confidence we have surrounding the maintenance of our new home is priceless. If we had occasion to hire these gentlemen again I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

Amanda Engel

03:12 11 Jun 24

We had an excellent experience with Brad! He was honest, clear and concise with his communication and explanation of everything. We will certainly use him again in the future. Would highly recommend!

Kaylee Betts

I cannot speak highly enough of the informative, professional and engaging service that Austin has provided during my clients’ recent home inspection. Austin’s customer service and willingness to help was prevalent in every interaction we had from scheduling through to the home inspection and beyond. His way of explaining information to an audience who is not as knowledgeable in his area of expertise is a true gift and most certainly helps ease the stress of home buyers. Should you be looking for a resource to recommend to your clients, or if you are a home buyer seeking a thorough and helpful walkthrough of your home, give Austin a call – he is truly excellent in his field.

Michelle Rich

17:34 09 Jun 24

Austin was on time, thorough and a pleasure to deal with. He took the time to go over his findings afterwards and answered all of our questions. His report was submitted to us the day afterwards and contained a lot of detail. Overall an excellent experience.

Harrison Nawrocki

17:34 08 Jun 24

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.

Salish “Salishgal” Gal

23:19 05 Jun 24

I can’t recommend Brad enough as a home inspector. He was the difference maker when it came down to finding the right home, which was why I hired him twice! He saved me from one house that looked great but had an extensive rodent infestation, and helped me get a significant price reduction on what has become my new home. His comprehensive written report, combined with a detailed walk-through on site, are more than worth the price of the service. Thanks so much!

Austin is an excellent communicator, explaining everything clearly and concisely, allowing lots of time for questions. We are moving from the lower mainland to Parksville with limited time, and Austin was able to accommodate us on short notice.

Very thoroughMy family and I were were in the process of purchasing a home in central Nanaimo, we hired Austin to do an inspection and he picked up on some details that turned out to be a deal breaker for us. Austin found some obscure plumbing issues, we would have been on the hook for a big refit (according to the insurance companies). We had seen the house twice before having the inspection, and we thought we had seen all the issues but decided to have an inspection, and we are very glad we did, Thank you Austin!

The attention to detail was great and it is clear that Austin puts a lot of care into his work. Along with the report, we had a Zoom meeting, where Austin walked us through all the items, point by point and gave in-depth explanation of items.

Brad’s expertise in home inspections is truly commendable. As a real estate professional, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him numerous times, and each time, he impresses with his professionalism and depth of knowledge.One aspect that stands out about Brad is his delivery of inspection findings. He approaches each inspection with a calm demeanor, which is crucial considering how daunting home inspection findings can be for buyers. I often liken the experience to being caught like a “deer in the headlights,” but Brad has a knack for navigating these reactions with finesse. His ability to present findings in a clear and reassuring manner, along with suggesting possible remedies, helps alleviate much of the anxiety that can accompany such situations.What truly sets Brad apart is his thoroughness and extensive background in construction. With many years of experience in the field, Brad brings a wealth of knowledge to every inspection. This expertise is invaluable not only to me as a realtor but also to my clients, who appreciate his keen eye for detail and his ability to uncover even the smallest of issues.Brad’s professionalism, calm demeanor, and extensive construction background make him an indispensable asset in the realm of home inspections. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a thorough and reliable inspection service.

We contacted James with WHI Inspection on short notice. My client was very happy with the thoroughness of our home inspection. Mr. James was clearly knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail. 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.

Austin Richter was timely and thorough. They brought us along where it was safe to do so and communicated throughout the inspection. The home was in great shape, which I think a lower caliber inspector would have taken advantage of to make their life easy. Instead Austin took additional time to leave no stone unturned and found things I’ve seen other inspectors miss in my line of work. I would unreservedly recommend this inspector.

James did a very thorough inspection for my clients on a large, relatively new home. He was exceptionally professional and very detail oriented. His report was robust and I felt that he provided excellent service to my clients with notes on future maintenance considerations. Well worth the time and money. He is a very personable guy and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend utilizing his services and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

We were very pleased with the Home Inspection that Brad Clark conducted on our new home. He was professional & very detailed with the information in the report that he prepared. We appreciated the many photos that provided us with the locations of any issues that needed to be addressed. He also walked us through each room identifying where we should focus our attention as well as some of the positive features that we were not aware of. I would fully recommend his services to new home buyers.

Brad with ABCHI did an excellent job inspecting a home purchase for my wife and I in Nanoose, BC. He was incredibly thorough and took time to explain his observations. He was also very personable and we enjoyed learning from him about the home and ways to address certain issues. Brad’s report was comprehensive and will be a great source of information for us as we move into the home. We would 100% hire ABCHI again and recommend to anyone who needs a home inspection!

I feel very fortunate to have Brad Clark do my inspection on my offer to purchase a home as a critical problem was found, which the seller themselves weren’t fully aware of. And so, Brad’s service not only helped me the buyer, but also the seller in the end. Thank you Brad !

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,

Scheduled a home inspection with James a couple days ago of my house James is thorough with his work making notes on everything no matter is small or safety hazard. As a new house buyer I don’t know much about these things and he is very knowledgable and professional to explain what’s the issue and the reason of the problems. The report was sent in with details just a couple of hours after the inspection which was awesome.He also followed up with me after the inspection if there are any questions and concerns because most of the time we don’t remember everything at the moment … it takes time, he answered promptly as well.Highly recommend James to get your unit inspected to make sure what you are buying and what you can expect from the house (Hidden problems and hazards that you are not aware of)Thanks once again James !

We recently had James Robinson of Wave Home Inspection conduct a pre-purchase inspection of a home we bought in Campbell River. We could not be more impressed with the diligence and thoroughness of his work and recommend him to anyone who wants a home inspection done properly. Not only is he thorough he also produces an easy to review pictorial report that tells you exactly what needs attention or repair or replacement. By comparison, we had just had the home we sold on the mainland inspected and watched a so-called home inspector not even go up a ladder or into any areas that required extra effort. You can rest assured if you hire James he will inspect every facet of the home and make sure there are no surprises. This is a huge benefit and well worth the money when you’re making such an important purchase.
