Mr. Wagner was personable, knowledgeable and I had the impression
that his findings were right on the mark. I was so pleased with
his ability to explain things to me in a way that was easy for me
to understand (because I don't know anything about electrical or
plumbling issues). He was great and I feel very fortunate
that he was the person who inspected the house for me. Rating:

I am a real estate agent and having met Wally Conway in various
real estate classes, I understood the importance of utilizing a
home inspection for my 1-year-old new home. I knew that having the
support of an inspection report would give credibility to my list
of concerns for my builder. Home Pro was my first choice. Bob Wagner
was at my home on time and was extremely knowledgeable, explaining
everything as he performed the inspection. He brought issues of
safety to my attention as well as items needing the builder's attention.
Bob was extremely professional and efficient. I would gladly
recommend Home Pro to any of my friends and family and will
include them in my list of home inspectors for my customers. Rating:

Outstanding, professional, personable & knowledgeable.
I was placed in a position of representing an out of town buyer
and charged to perform their final inspections on a new construction
home. Upon my initial look at the home I was overwhelmed with major
items that needed addressing prior to closing and did not feel comfortable
with informing the buyers that what I had found was all that there
was. I called homepro and they had Bob Wagner at the home within
2 hours. He did find additional items that where major and needed
addressing immediately prior to closing. By getting this inspection,
it gave the buyers and myself a great piece of mind and it provided
me with the ammunition to have the builder address the problems.
Thank you Bob for your help on this. Rating: 5 (November 2007)

Bob - Thank you so much for such a professional inspection.
My wife and I were talking last night over dinner how much we enjoyed
your attention to detail concerning the inspection
and your patience with our questions. But also we
surely appreciated your pleasant approach, our general conversation,
and sense of common values. You're right, it's always good to talk
Navy and thanks for the comments concerning our son. May God bless
you and your family and we wish you all a blessed and happy Thanksgiving
and Christmas. If you're back in the neighborhood feel free to drop
in and say hello. Rating: 5 (November 2007)

I am extremely pleased with the home inspection performed by Mr.
Wagner. Mr. Wagner carefully explained what the inspection would
entail and how it would be documented. The inspection was completed
in a thorough and methodical manner. The results of the inspection
were reviewed in detail with me at the conclusion of the inspection.
Mr. Wagner identified concerns that I am certain would have
been missed by the builder prior to closing and would have
caused problems for me if not resolved. Mr. Wagner was professional
and personable in all interactions with me and the builders representatives.
The money spent was a sound investment. Rating: 5 (September 2007)

Dear Mr.Conway ~ Bob Wagner provided a 5 Star inspection for our
new home. I have never had a person be so kind, informative and
helpful!! He was a wonderful inspector ~well informed and very happy
to provide me with additional help and information during the inspection
and even with my additional questions. He went way above the call
of duty and I was refered to you all by my company Kellogg's. They
also strive for best customer service and support ~ Which I am happy
to say Bob Wagner Provided 100+ More. Very nice man and a great
guy!! Very well known and liked even by other vendors like Paul
at Brinks Security Systems!! Rating: 5 (July 2007) Best Wishes,

My deepest appreciation and sincerest thanks go to Bob Wagner for
his professionalism and first class service. I will happily and
without reservation recommend Bob to anyone in need of a home inspection.
The precision provided in the home report details, in addition to
the pictures, makes any issue(s) easy to visualize. Bob's comments
and aid are invaluable. He identified a potential environmental
hazard early in my inspection allowing me to conduct further testing.
Also, Bob did a tremendous job during the reinspection and found
several WDO issues that were not corrected by the seller's contractors.
Bob's inspections gave me peace of mind and ultimately saved me
a lot of money. Rating: 5 (June 2007)

In addition to owning Gold Star Adjusters, I am also a licensed

When I refer a home inspector, it has to be someone I trust completely.
I always refer Home Pro Inspections. Ask for Robert Wagner.
He is the most thorough and professional home inspector I have ever
dealt with. Whether you are buying a home, or just want
a thorough home inspection, Home Pro is the way to go! Rating: 5

Thank you, Bob, for a very thorough inspection of our new home.
We especially appreciated your explanation of the difference between
electric heat pump heating and natural gas heating. The time you
took to show us different aspects of our new home will definitely
help us in the future. Home Pro should be pleased that they have
someone who is so caring, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable to
work for them. An inspection by Bob Wagner with HomePro is well
worth the money! Rating: 5 (April 2007)

I have to say my husband is one of the most critical people. Bob
completely impressed him, and me, with his professionalism, knowledge

a home inspector. We will always go straight to the Pros

we could have found in the business. Thank you so much. (April 2007)

Bob wagner is indeed a 5 Star building inspector. He is the

If you have a question, ask it, and you will receive a friendly,

Ernest Barnes

I've done corporate relocations 2 or 3 times. This is the first
time I've felt like I got my money's worth for a buyers
inspection. Bob found 3 significant issues with my new home that
would have been a real mess. My phone follow up with him (I could
not attend the inspection) was a huge help. I will definitely recommend
both Bob and HomePro in the future. Amy in scheduling was also a
huge help. HomePro in general is the first really satisfying inspection
company I've worked with and Bob's level of professionalism and
eye for detail are the best I've seen. (December 2006)

Bob was wonderful! He took his time to explain the workings of

Bob Wagner has inspected 4 houses for us in Amelia Island and he
is the best! Phyllis worked for Clark Howard, the consumer advocate
for 7 years and she says Bob Wagner is the most thorough and personable

excellent! The difference between mediocrity and excellence
is caring. He cares so therefore he is excellent! (October

Bob did a great job. He inspected an older quadraplex for us and
was very thorough. He had great communitation skills and was very

inspection helped us justify negotiating the price of the building
also. Thanks! (June 2006)

has inspected three of our private homes over the years.
We have always found him to be the most professional home inspector
who is truly dedicated to assisting home owners identify issues

Not only in the technical areas but also in customer service, Mr.
Wagner strives for excellence in public relations by always attempting
to meet the demanding schedule of the homeowners and the hectic

Dear HomePro: We have used your inspection service on several homes
and rental properties over the past several years and would
never purchase a property without you. Bob Wagner has been
extremely thorough, competent and personable and has consistently
provided a superior report and follow-up. We wouldn't consider buying
a home without Bob and HomePro there to back us up. (April 2006)

Thank you Bob, for a professional, thorough inspection! You caught
things that we wouldn't have ever noticed and this is bound to save

Thank you again.

Dear Wally, I would like to thank you and you staff for the fantastic
job you all do. I had a great experience with your company. Bob
Wagner did our home inspection. We were blown away by the information
and the book we recieved about our house. This was invaluable to
us and we refer to it frequently. This is our first home buying
experience and we bought this home from out of state. (We were moving
from NJ to Jacksonville) Mr. Wagner left no stone unturned and there
have been no surprises. My husband and I knew exactly what we were
buying. I cannot say enough good things about your service and Mr.
Wagners thoroughness with our home. I had contacted many home inspectors
prior to finding the right home and no one came anywhere close to
HOME PRO. We've been in our home for almost a year (the house is
27 years old) and we could not be happier. Thank you to you, Mr.
Wagner and your great employees. We love your show and listen every
weekend, can't wait for the TV show to air. (May 2006)

Bob is the BEST inspector in Jacksonville. He has the knowledge,
experience, and credentials above and beyond all other inspectors
in Jacksonville. All my clients recommend Bob to their family and

my sister, and myself use Bob for our personal home inspections
and investment property inspections. Bob is absolutely the BEST.

Bob Wagner was absolutely fantastic! I was in trying to get my
home builder to correct an obvious flaw in a wall that resulted
in a severe leak. Bob came out, spent the better part of an afternoon
with me and identified the real problem. The home builder is now
working to correct the defect on their dime - not mine. Bob was
worth his weight in gold. Very professional, nice as can be and
clearly loves what he does for a living. I would recommend his services
to anyone!

Bob has inspected three houses for me. Each was for a real estate
investment. His detailed inspections have helped me see exactly
what I was getting into with each house. I will continue to hire
Bob as long as he does home inspections!
Erik Edenholm

Bob is one of the top few in (the home inspection) business. He
is not only thorough, he educates the Buyer as he inspects. In my
mind, he is the best, and I will continue to use him whenever I
can.
Ed Bender, Real Estate Professional

I am a real estate investor and have had the priviledge of working
with Bob Wagner for several years. He has performed over a dozen
home inspections for me. He recently came by to do a follow-up on
one of my properties and I was again reminded of what a consumate
professional he is. His feedback was insightful and certainly saved
me several thousand dollars of repairs with his very common-sense
suggestions. Thanks for your continued hard work, Bob.
Gary Granfield
Homeowner
Bob - I just had to let you know how thoroughly I appreciate your
patience and expertise. At a time when others have implied that
I'm neurotic and nit-picking (and even snickering at my suggestions),
you have shown patience, willingness to share your knowledge, and
respect for my concerns. My faith in humanity and the human spirit
has been restored. So, thanks again, and may your kindness be returned
to you a zillion fold.
Denise Azis

Greetings! I wanted to take this opportunity to praise the work
of Robert Wagner. Recently, Bob performed a home inspection on a
property for sale. He spent time with the buyer answering any and
all questions with patience and diligence. Not only did he take
the time to explain his work thoroughly, he was also detail oriented
and accurate with his findings. Thank you Bob for sharing your knowledge
and for the excellent work you do. I will recommend this company
to all my future customers!
Alicia Drysdale
Real Estate Professional, ERA
I cannot begin to tell you what a professional you have with Bob
Wagner. He has inspected the home I'm looking to buy and has come
back for the re-inspection. I trust what he says...he has found
needed repairs, and I will not close until he tells me everything
is OK. I trust him with my investment in my 'new' home. What a great
person!! I'll recommend him to everyone that asks me for a referral!
Gloria Dunham
Homeowner
My wife and I appreciate your prompt and expert response. I have
never seen such a detailed report. I haver never met or spoken to
a home inspector as friendly and as knowledgeable as Mr. Wagner.
He took time to explain his work in detail (we were not able to
attend the inspection). This happened when he was "on the road"
and we were interrupting his workday. GREAT GUY!! Thank you VERY
MUCH,
Joe and Ellen McAloon

Bob performed a home inspection on a waterfront home that I purchased.
From the start, he explained the entire process to us, and then
spent 6 hours + performing a thorough inspection. He then took approximately
30 minutes to sit with us to discuss his findings and to help us
understand our options. Because of the way he handled our inspection,
I feel confident that I will use HomePro again and recommend [Bob]
to others. He is definetly an asset to your organization.
Charlene Sullivan
Homeowner
Thanks for calling this morning to go over the report. I only had
about 1 hour to look over the home before I made an offer which
was accepted, and being out of state until a week before the closing
made it nearly impossible for me to check out the items I noted.
I was pleased to see that every item on my notes was covered in
your report as well as a lot of other items I could not see because
of location and time. Great job! I greatly appreciate your fine
service and dedication to excellence!
William Mills
Homeowner
I recently had the amazing experience of the HomePro home inspection,
by Mr. Bob Wagner. Everything about the experience was exceptional;
from the initial explanation, through the actual inspection, and
resulting in the very thorough inspection report. I have been through
a number of home inspections in the past, but no previous inspection
can even begin to compare to the inspection by Mr. Wagner. I will
never use another company or system.
