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.

If we had occasion to hire these gentlemen again I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

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.

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 from Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections was very thorough, professional and patient when explaining the issues and systems of my new patio home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and Buyer’s Choice. I felt confident that he knew what he was talking about. The written report he sent the next day was very thorough and covered everything we discussed in the walk through. He also assured me that I could call if I had any concerns for as long as I own the home.

There’s a reason why Austin’s reviews are 5/5.Communication: 5/5Before and after inspection: 5/5Walkthrough: 5/5Professionalism: 5/5Service: 5/5As a family wanting to buy our first home, there’s a lot of hesitation, confusion, and lack of understanding to how things work. Austin was very patient and explained things thoroughly and gave his professional opinion. He followed up with additional information that would be essential to home owners.We are very happy with Austin’s services, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wanting to inspect a house.

Brad was fantastic. Very thorough with my home inspection and since I am in Ontario and bought a home out on the Island, he walked me through the entire inspection via FaceTime. The final report was very detailed and professional with high quality photos and in depth explanations of everything in the inspection. I would highly recommend A Buyer’s Choice to anyone looking for a home inspection.

Our realtor recommended Austin for our home inspection, and he did not disappoint! To complement his professional home inspection knowledge, he is very easy to work with. 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. He was also able to provide us with a thorough, detailed report very quickly. Austin also allows follow-up questions with no time limit. He really put our minds at ease during a big life changing move. We highly recommend Austin!

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!

We have used Austin twice now, and I will never use anyone else if I don’t have to. As other reviews state, thorough and professional while at the same time super nice and easy to talk with. He explains everything, and will answer any and all questions. The report was great. Austin also made himself available to us for some questions we had afterwards, going WAY over and above what we could have expected. This is the easiest 5 out of 5 I have ever given.

Austin has fantastic customer service and came highly recommended. We booked a home inspection with him and he was so accommodating to our needs. His reports are excellent, with so much detail and photos. We weren’t able to be at the house for the inspection but the report perfectly walked us through how Austin’s visit to the house looked. 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. Highly recommend giving Austin a call if you need a home inspection!

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.

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.

Zachary Betts

Had an excellent home inspection by Austin Richter…… He went through the whole house with a fine tooth comb…. And all the many pictures he taken was in good detail as he explains every section of the house during the walk through. Exceptional customer service as I asked lots of questions and he was able to answer them all. Ended up using this inspection report back to seller and our realtor got us several thousand dollars deductions.Our Exp realtor Matt Ferguson who is an excellent realtor, he’s strong communicator, professional, very knowledgeable, strong negotiator….. suggest buyer’s home inspection. And now I know why.If you need an excellent realtor and plan on getting a home inspection…..I highly recommend both Austin and Matt ….You won’t be disappointed.

Austin did a trememdous job at every stage of inspecting my new home. His inspection was extremely thorough, and during our walk-through he explained clearly the priorities needing repair attention. Austin’s report will serve as a manual for improving and keeping up the property for years to come. His offer of technical follow-up advice even after buying the property is a big value-add. I highly recommend Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections.

We had an incredible experience with Buyer’s Choice and Brad. We were able to get our inspection scheduled in quickly, he was very responsive over email, and thorough without being overwhelming during our walkthrough. He even provided us with a list of recommended contractors in different categories (plumbing, electrical, exterior, etc.) for us to have handy with our inspection report and helped answer questions we had when getting home insurance quotes.

Mara Mahovlic

Not sure I could have asked for a better home inspector! Brad is an extremely knowledgeable, detailed, and personable professional. Super warm and friendly – he took the time to ensure I had no more questions or concerns at the end of the home inspection walk through. We have now had the chance to review two of Brad’s home inspection reports, and they were exactly what we needed to know regarding the properties. You won’t regret going with A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections Central Vancouver Island with Brad Clark. (phew, what a title!)
