Home Inspection Services

[DaveinOKC]

Just signed a contract on a new home and I am looking for a home inspection service. Looking for recommendations and warnings about bad companies. The realtor has suggested Advanced Home Inspections, H&H Inspection Services, and Home Team Inspection Services.

My brother had a bad experience with his last home inspector and I want to avoid that situation. Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

I used this guy and several people I've recommended him to have loved his work. I wouldn't use anyone suggested by any realtor.

I've been screwed by every home inspector I've ever had do an inspection for me. Dustingaunder is right - do not trust any home inspector that is recommended by a realtor.

This service:

Guardian Inspections, Inc.
1236 Bradford Terrace
Yukon, OK 73099
405-412-8693

did the inspection on my old place for the new buyer. Wish I had known him when I got my current house inspected. He is very thorough.

Here's another "don't trust the realtor's recommendation" ... I was absoluted F'd over by my realtor's guy ... Oh, well ... I think I've gotten everything all fixed up now. I probably could have knocked another $7-9K off the asking price had I known about the problems the roof (that the inspector gave a clean bill of health) had before I signed on the dotted line.

I don't have anyone (as I am NEVER selling this house! lol) to recommend but CONGRATS!! on the new home!

Thanks for the input. Not trusting the realtor's suggestions is my first choice as the realtor may be suggesting those that help the sales go smoothly or otherwise getting something from the companies they recommend.

I will look into those that have been suggested and keep looking for others over the weekend.

As an Ex-Realtor i will tell you don't ever let your realtor pick the inspector they are going to pick one that is going to make sure the sale goes through. If you want to use the inspector that makes every realtor in the state of Oklahoma cringe when he shows up then call this guy

If you have local contractors you use and trust I would ask them to do a home inspection for you. Most will and a licensed contractor has far more knowledge about plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc than your average home inspector.
