Another Five-Star Google review

Here's a Five-Star Google review from someone who wasn't even a customer. Yet. 

"I had gone with another inspector who didn’t offer some of the add on services typically provided for inspections. I reached out to Miki and she was able to give me names a couple vendors who provided the inspections I needed. I wasn’t even her customer but she still helped me while in a bind. Amazing integrity. Will definitely keep in mind for future inspections."

Heard from each of them

Recently, my clients were a married couple buying a home. The wife was able to attend her Complete Home Inspection and texted me afterward, "Miki, you were just great yesterday. Thanks so much for all the great info. Your inspection is very helpful." The husband was unable to attend the inspection but read the written report and replied, "Thank you for such a full and comprehensive inspection and report. You are really thorough!" It was wonderful to hear from each of them following the inspection.

Repeat customers

Having done a couple of home inspections for them over the years, a couple now wanted me to inspect the house their daughter, a first-time buyer, was purchasing. All three - mom, dad, and daughter - attended the inspection. Dad followed me around the most during the inspection. Two different times as we examined some defects in the condition of the house, he said, "And that's why we have YOU inspecting this house", and "You're awesome." Then, in reply to receiving the written inspection report on the house, he wrote, "Thanks, Miki! Again - we appreciate your fitting us in on such short notice, especially in a holiday weekend - and your getting the report to us next-day. Top-notch service for sure. We hope you have a great Independence Day." That's wonderful to hear. Thank you.

Fun inspection

 A fun inspection this week ended in some nice words from my client. A young woman was buying her first house and is going to share it with two other young women. All three were at my inspection so that they could learn about the house in "old" Overland Park. There was a lot of excitement in the air, as you can imagine. And the four of us had fun together. After receiving her written inspection report, my client replied, "Thank you, Miki! You did an amazing job!" And, I had a good time, as well.

Nice comments

A couple of very nice comments from realtors and clients this week - a real estate agent who frequently has me inspect the houses her clients are buying said, "I gave your contact info to an agent in my office. She says she loves you!" Another agent, that I was meeting for the first time, said she liked how informative I was during her clients' home inspection and that she really liked how I didn't take 4 hours to inspect a small house. Her buyers then chimed in with, "And you are so thorough and helpful."

Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine

In its April 2024 issue, Kiplinger advises how to "Make the Most of a Home Inspection" and mentions, "An inspection contingency can protect you from buying a potential money pit." First, Kiplinger says to hire a qualified inspector and suggests hiring an ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) Certified Home Inspector. The magazine calls an inspector's ASHI membership "a sign of credibility." I've been ASHI Certified since 1993. 

Another Kiplinger recommendation is for you to attend your home inspection. It's your chance to ask questions as they arise and to learn first-hand how the systems of your potential home work. I love it when my clients go through the house with me. It's then easy to demonstrate how to change filters, how to shut off the water supply, and more. 

That's some good advice from a trusted source.
