My customer has told me several times how happy
he was with the 5 Star Inspection™ that Chris Brown performed
for him. The house was recently renovated and appeared to
be in great shape, but Chris' thorough inspection uncovered some
serious issues that we were able to address with the seller prior
to closing. Thanks Chris! Rating: 5 (March 2008)

job! Thank you so much! (March 2007)
- Mary Jane McKissick, Homeowner
Chris, thanks to YOU for a superb inspection. We're
getting the pool looked at today. I know I said this several times,
but I REALLY appreciate your thoroughness, your expertise and your
ability to communicate not only what the notable issues are, but
how best to handle them once we own the home. Thanks also for being
patient while I asked some non-inspection questions about things
we might want to change or remodel (light box in kitchen, powder
room, etc.). It was a pleasure to work with a true "home
pro!" Nice license plate too - you've earned that one!
(April 2007)
- Erin and Allen Shirley, Homeowners
We received your report in the mail and we must tell
you in all our years of transferring around the US and buying homes,
never has a company given such a fantastic detailed report.
Your company has gone above and beyond any prospective buyers dream.
Our hats off to you for an outstanding job! I wrote to our Realtor,
Anita Cooper and told her what a fantastic job you did and thanked
her for recommending you. Anita and her team are on the same level
of competence and professionalism as your company, you make a great
team. We feel very lucky to have worked with both of you. (June

Thanks for everything you did to help me buy my home.
You have to be one of the top inspectors in Florida!
(February 2006)
- Richie Smith, Homeowner
We had Chris for the initial two inspections (on our
new construction home). Chris was detailed and thorough and my builder's
agent was impressed at how detailed his comments were. Thank you,
Chris for putting us at ease and seeing us through the first two
stages.
- CJ, Homeowner
I'm so glad I called HomePro. My realtor
suggested Chris and he was very informative. Usually they don't
explain things in detail to women. But, I can't think of enough
great things to say! Thanks Chris.
- Lisa Johns, Homeowner
Chris - I have had such a wonderful experience working
with you and HomePro, I just wanted to thank you...you're brilliant!
- Anne Key, Homeowner
Thank you again... I really appreciate your efforts
in working with me and [the homeowner]. In our line of work we come
across all types of folks. Some have proven themselves to be very
difficult. You on the other hand, were very accommodating
and I will certainly pass your name along to others! Thank
you again for your help and for doing a great job. Your represent
yourself and your company very well!
- Kendra Allsup, Prudential Network Realty
Chris - Thank you very much for taking the time to
call me back and talk about our home cracks. I appreciated
your advice and your willingness to let us impose on your expertise
on occasion. If you're ever in the area and would like to see the
"after" of one of your inspected homes, please feel free
to drop by…

Very informative and thorough. I especially
enjoyed the little extra touches from the popped popcorn
to test the microwave to the instant color printouts received at

What others say about Chris:

Chris is great and explains everything. What
I like most about him is he will answer questions after the inspection
if we don't understand something. I hope all my customers
use him! Rating: 5 Stars (February 2009)
- Cynthia Nelson,
Watson Realty Corp.
We had Chris inspect our house 10 years ago
and remembered what a great job he did. When we bought our
new house I "googled" him and was happy to see he was
still working with HomePro. We asked him to inspect our new house
and he did a great job! Rating: 5 Stars (January 2009)
- Jeanne Sharpe, Homeowner
Chris was very friendly and made it comfortable to
ask questions. He took all the time I needed to help me understand
what was going on with my potential home. I was very impressed.

- Christine Conway, Homeowner
This company and inspector were highly recommended
to me from a friend that used them. I was very impressed and
for someone who is a first time home buyer and was by myself, Chris
explained everything and answered all my questions. Thank
You Home Pro and Thank You Chris! Rating: 5 Stars (December 2008)
- Stefanie Leehan, Homeowner
I recently purchased a house and after soliciting
estimates for an inspection, I selected HomePro and was assigned
inspector Chris Brown. Although there were numerous hurdles and
road blocks along the way, the professionalism of Mr. Brown and
the quality of the inspection (and re-inspection) was outstanding.
The addition of the infrared scan and warranty made HomePro a spectacular
value. Thank you for providing a quality product with no
hassles. I must also add that Amie was also very helpful in setting
up the inspections and providing the proper forms. (November 2008)

Chris was professional, courteous, and patient with
all of our questions. He took the time to answer our questions and
give us helpful suggestions. We were very impressed with the maintenance

Chris always does an excellent job,
especially with the old homes in the historic neighborhoods. Recommend
to absolutely everyone. Rating: 5 Stars (October 2008)
- Vickie
Douglas, Watson Realty Corp.
Chris was extremely informative and personable and
he did a very thorough inspection. He inspected a home that I recently
bought as a short sale and was in serious need of rehabbing. My
first inclination was to not have the inspection because it looked
as if pretty much everything had to be repaired anyway. Instinct
prevailed and I had the inspection done anyway. It has literally
saved me thousands of dollars as it turned out the home wasn't in
near as bad a shape as I had thought (roof, flooring, wiring,
plumbing). Thanks for your service. I will definitely be using you
guys on my next purchase/sale. Rating: 5 (September 2008)
- Dave C., Homeowner/Investor
Could not believe how quick he was able to go
and perform service and then the same night gave me the
inspection report. Will always use HomePro! Rating: 5 (September
2008)
- Margaret Hoyle, Homeowner
Chris did a thorough and excellent job as always.
This was a short sale that had been vacant for quite a while. My
customer is as satisfied as I am. Rating: 5 (August 2008)

Norris, Watson Realty Corp.
I felt that Chris was very thorough and clearly explained
the areas of concern and the options to resolve issues. He

Chris was very thorough and took time to explain what
he was finding during the inspection process. He also provided a
good summary of findings at the end. His work made it very
easy for me to comprise a list of repairs that the home
owner would need to address before closing. Rating: 5 (May 2008)
- Dan Merkan, Homeowner
When I called to make this appointment it was suggested
that we use Chris because of his knowledge and experience
with old homes. This proved to be of great benefit. THANKS!

Chris has doing all my inspections for several years
and I always know my buyers are getting the best!

- Carl
J. Geyer, Vanguard GMAC Real Estate
Very extensive, professional and courteous. Chris
took the time to show me in, on under, and around my house. I only
wish we had used your service before we purchased our house 2-1/2
years ago because I'm sure the wood rot Chris discovered under the
main bath and other areas of the house would have necessitated the
previous owners to correct the problems instead of me having to
make the repairs now. My spouse and I have learned an expensive
lesson when it comes to choosing the right home inspection service.
We had to come out of pocket to make the necessary repairs because
the insurance company would not cover long term wood rot only immediate
water damage. Thank you again Chris for your outstanding dedication
to your trade. Rating: 5 (April 2008)
- Anthony W. Gordon, Homeowner
Chris did a very good and thorough job
for the buyer and was extremely pleasant during the process. I have
a lot of faith in Chris and know he will do a good job. Rating:

Moss, RE/MAX Atlantic
Mr. Chris Brown did an exceptional job. I was purchasing
a home and was advised to use Home Pro by the manager of my mortgage
department at Community First Credit Union. I am happy I did! Mr.
Brown did a very, very good job. He looked at the house from
every angle, left no stone unturned. I will always use Home
Pro for future needs and will recommend everyone I know to do the
same! Rating: 5 (March 2008)
