Austin did a great job and made it a very pleasant experience for me as the listing agent. I was there for the entire inspection but left when the other agent and her buyers came. Thanks for asking for my feedback! Rating: 5 (April 2008)
- Ginny Spears, Vanguard GMAC Realty

Although I did not have the opportunity to be at the inspection, my agents had worked with Austin before and were always pleased with his work. I can see why. He had the report to me that evening. Although a written report is fine, I like to talk to the inspector too. I called Austin in the morning and discussed the house and what he found. He was very clear in his assessment (which by the way was very good) and told me to feel free to contact him at any point if I had additional questions -- definitely the type of individual and company one likes to work with. I would recommend HomePro (and Austin) to anyone who needed a home inspection. Rating: 5 (April 2008)

I consider Austin to be a part of my team. He is the most thorough, courteous, and professional inspector I've ever used. If Austin isn't available, it's OK, I'll wait. (May 2007)
- Ron Taylor, REALTOR, Prudential Network Realty

Austin is the Home Inspector that we have come to rely on whenever a home inspection is requested. I know that our clients are going to be impressed with the way in which he explains any issue... Austin is able to answer the questions a Buyer might have in a clear and concise manner, all the while assuring them that whatever issue there might be, there is always a solution. This is due, in part, to his in-depth understanding of building construction. Rating: 5 (August 2007)

Dear Austin, Thank you again for the incredible job you did for me and my family during our inspection.

- S. McCorvey, Homeowner

Although I was not able to participate in the entire inspection, Austin did keep me informed as to what was happening and things he had found. While I was in attendance he took the time to point out some things, what they were, what they meant, what would need to be done, and whether or not it was normal and/or some thing to be concerned about. I found the experience rather informative.
Thanks Austin! Rating: 5 (September 2008)
