It was great working with you yesterday. We loved our home inspection. We especially appreciated the tips you gave us because as first time home buyers we have no experience. Thanks for walking us through it all! - Nino and Srinjoy February 1, 2021 I would highly recommend Hawkeye Home Inspections! I found them to be thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to show any concerns and explain them. Their attention to detail and willingness to answer our questions was most appreciated. Thank you! - Mike K. January 8, 2021 Had a great home inspection experience with Peter from Hawkeye! He came highly recommended by my Realtor. His experience and knowledge in the home inspection business was evident. The inspection was thorough and also educational. He was frank and realistic about any questions or concerns I had about the home. The detailed report arrived within a day, was personalized and included photos that helped me remember the topics we had discussed. I highly recommend them for home inspections! I felt like I was on an episode of This Old House with someone experienced and excited about what they do. - Sylvia Yoo December 23, 2020 As first-time home buyers, we hired a Hawkeye inspector for a home inspection in Chelmsford, MA in December, 2020. From the moment we met Peter, we were highly impressed by his professionalism and candor. He arrived 20-30 minutes early to start the process on the outside of the house. He made an effort to hear our concerns, provide answers to our questions, and explain the home improvement terminology. The process of inspecting the house took roughly 3 hours, and we appreciated his attention to detail; we did not feel rushed through the process at any point. After the inspection, he sent us a full, detailed report of all of his findings, as well as several other resources/contacts for homeowners. Overall, we were really happy with the inspection, and we would definitely use Hawkeye for our future inspection needs. - Daniel Browe December 16, 2020 Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness - Paul Bostrom December 3, 2020 I used Peter for my inspection in purchasing a home. Inspection was lights out! Peter was focused solely on delivering the highest quality service possible and I felt very confident that my best interests were in his heart. I felt like these guys went the extra mile and really dove into the house, making me feel very secure about my purchase. I would love to work with them again. They even still have a sense of humor this late in 2020! - Cary Fridrich November 29, 2020 Our awesome realtor scheduled Hawkeye for our home inspection and we couldn't be happier. The technician that came out (Mark Childs) did an amazing job and his passion for his work was super clear. As first time home buyers, we learned a lot about the home and were even given a home owner's manual on how to take care of the place. - Srini Kadamati November 16, 2020 We recently purchased a new home and hired Hawkeye Home Inspections. We had the pleasure of working with Mark, who was fantastic! He was very responsive, on time, thorough, informative, and friendly! We absolutely recommend Mark! - Allie George and Mark Jennings November 10, 2020 Our inspector (Dan) was punctual, pleasant, incredibly well-informed, very clear in his explanations, helpful and appropriately balanced in his comments. He gave us information that we could use, and made clear which items were bigger than a breadbasket, and which were small items consistent with the age of the home. His inspection gave us confidence in the overall integrity of the home and its systems, and highlighted the few areas that we will need to pay attention to, both before closing and after. A first-rate experience, and an inspector that we would highly recommend! - Jeff and Mary Fuhrer October 25, 2020 Kurt was thorough, respectful of the property and explained things in easy to understand details. The report arrived the next day, as promised! I wholeheartedly recommend Hawkeye for any inspection needs. - Stephen Hamelburg October 24, 2020 Thank you Hawkeye! Mike was thorough and took the time to explain everything he was doing and his findings before receiving the submitted report. I would highly recommend Hawkeye! - Anna Meyer October 23, 2020 D. Paez called today to tell us that he loved working with Mike Kilgallen. He raved about his personality, thoroughness and professionalism and said he would recommend him to anyone who needs an inspection. October 22, 2020 I have worked with 2 inspectors (Chris Gregoire and Daniel Fox) from Hawkeye and was so impressed. My inspectors were both highly professional, incredibly thorough and a genuine pleasure to work with. While searching for a home, I hired Hawkeye to inspect 2 historic properties that presented specific challenges and Hawkeye was able to give me the information I needed to make informed decisions about my purchase. And they did so very quickly! Highly recommended! - Rachel Cassidy October 11, 2020 Excellent service! Chris was very thorough and detailed in the inspection. He was not rushed and went above and beyond explaining everything that was going on with this 100 year old house. Chris was friendly and knowledgeable. His report was prompt, informative, and with recommendations. I'd highly recommend Chris Gregoire and Hawkeye Home Inspections to anyone. - Jolanta September 27, 2020 Peter and Ed at Hawkeye Home Inspections were wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure we understood what they were looking for, what they were finding, and why it mattered. This made a huge difference to our confidence level in purchasing the home. The little extras to make it feel like they were part of our team and not just there for a job made a big difference: water and snacks, a little framed picture of the house for us to keep and treating us both equally during the home inspection. The report was thorough and well documented and the process to hire, pay, and get the inspection done was simple and fast. - C. Hathaway September 21, 2020 They were on time, more than friendly, explained all of the things they were looking at to me, a first time home owner. They took great pictures and added them all to the inspection report. Very helpful and wonderful to work with. I will definitely be recommending them and using them again myself in the future. - Kara Maloney September 15, 2020 I cannot tell you enough how wonderful Dan was during the inspection and how patient he was. I feel like we got an education about the home's existing condition, and some important pointers for things to watch out for as home owners moving forward. Dan even helped answer questions about resources like MassSave. He captured every detail in his report. I don't even know how he managed to be so thorough and detailed, since there were so many small things we discussed. All of it ended up beautifully illustrated and noted in the report later that same day. I would never pass up an opportunity to have Dan or someone from Hawkeye take a look at a prospective property in the future, if we were ever considering another purchase. It's like getting a personal introduction to your new home. There were even features we hadn't noticed during the open house (like a heated bathroom floor) that were pointed out. In addition, we were shown how to operate all the features in the home that we might not be familiar with. I really felt like Dan was watching out for our safety and setting us up for success as home owners. If only the rest of the home buying experience could be so great! - Thanks, Sandra and Ned R. September 8, 2020 Peter Ottowitz was amazing and very knowledgable about things I would need to do after my home inspection. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking into buying a home. - Lillian Hampton I put in an offer on Friday 9.4.20 and it was accepted. My buyer's agent setup the home inspection with Chris Gregoire Sunday 9.6.20 @ 9am. Chris was on time, very knowledgeable, and came with a great sense of humor. He walked me through everything and I received the report that evening. It was as detailed as the inspection itself. I would use Hawkeye Home Inspections in a heartbeat! No stress at all, it was actually FUN! - Casey R. September 7, 2020 Hello! Thank you so much. That was a terrific experience, and incredibly fast turn around time on the report. I couldn't be more satisfied. You patiently explained what you saw, ensuring there were no surprises on the full report. Thanks again, I'll definitely recommend you to anyone I know who needs a home inspector. - Peter G. August 26, 2020 Dear Mark, James and I would like to thank you for your time and expertise. You really helped us through one of the toughest decisions of our lives. Buying a new home is really intimidating. Because of you, we know we bought a house with great bones and cannot wait to watch our family grow into it! What a gem you are. Again – thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Stay safe and well. – Sincerely, Cait and James Leger August 25, 2020 Hawkeye blended the expertise needed for the finest and most thorough inspection I've ever had with a cheerful and pleasant attitude that made the day enjoyable. You can't do better than that, thank you to Peter and Ed for the great experience. Best,Tom August 14, 2020 Our inspector Chris did an amazing job! He walked us through the whole property and actually taught us a lot about home maintenance! It's the first home we are buying, so we don't know a lot about regular home maintenance. He taught us about things we never would have thought of. He was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable! We would definitely use them again in the future and recommend to everyone! - Shawn Toledo August 2, 2020 Dan Fox was great! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We couldn’t ask for a better experience. The scheduling and friendliness from the office was also appreciated. I would highly recommend Dan and Hawkeye Home Inspections. - Nancy Fenton July 30, 2020 We could not have been more pleased with your inspection process! Mina, was wonderful. He explained everything to us (first-time home buyers, from little things to put on the list for the seller to take care of to what we should absolutely take care of ASAP. He had no issue with us asking a million questions and sent us an extremely thorough report a day later. Since he did this during COVID-19, he took every safety precaution possible and even brought water and snacks for everyone. I cannot say enough, and would recommend Hawkeye (and specifically Mina) to anyone that needs to get a home inspection! All the best, Matt July 6, 2020 Daniel Fox from Hawkeye was an exceptional house inspector. He was on time and did a great job assessing the house. He inspected each floor by himself first and summarized it afterwards. That allowed us to do our own inspection and walk around the property in the meantime. He treated us with respect, was very friendly, and even offered us water and cereal bars. Maybe most notably, he presented his findings objectively (and persistently) even in the presence of the seller's agent. Overall, definitely a recommendation (especially for Daniel), if you're looking for a company that gets the job done professionally and efficiently. - Markus Nemitz June 18, 2020 Peter and his crew were very thorough during the home inspection. They took the time to answer any questions in depth and explained all the small issues. They were very tidy and professional - even changing into "inside" shoes before entering the house. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the Greater Boston area! - Tatum Mangum June 1, 2020 Peter Ottowitz (assisted by Mina Gaber) inspected a house for us in May 2020 as part of our purchase process. They were friendly, thorough, explained everything clearly and left us feeling confident that we had poked into all the corners and investigated the extent and apparent state of all the services in the house. They were very approachable and Peter took time to explain everything. I would definitely recommend Hawkeye. - David Upton May 12, 2020 Stacey was very nice, scheduled next morning. The inspector, Peter, was on time, thorough and the report was well detailed. Very good price and service. I would recommend to anyone. - Flavia Padilha May 5, 2020 Kurt was fantastic, taking the time needed for us to make a well-informed decision. Well done. Rating: 10 - Steve and Andrea April 18, 2020 I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did on Beth's inspection. I appreciate the time you spent explaining the inspection process and educating her on some of the homeowner responsibilities. Beth felt very confident after working with you and has gone forward with the purchase – she hopes to close on April 29th. - Ed C. April 10, 2020 Hi Peter - Lisa and I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help yesterday. You were very informative and made us feel at ease with the whole process. We've gone over the report and it covers everything you pointed out to us, which is awesome. We will recommend Hawkeye to anyone we know who may be buying a home in the future. We really appreciated that you could inspect the home despite all the chaos that is going on in the world right now. And we also appreciate all of the jokes and laughs we shared yesterday. Thanks again. - Mike and Lisa M. April 3, 2020 Mark was excellent and thorough. I was extremely pleased with his friendly and professional manner. - Ann Marie Kett March 25, 2020 Neil Childress performed the inspection thoroughly, efficiently and courteously. Subsequent report was clear and informative. Job well done. - Charles S. March 10, 2020 Daniel Fox was our home inspector. He was methodical in working through the home outside and in. He had some excellent suggestions for both long term fixes and small touch ups we could work on. We feel more confident going into the home thanks to Daniel. - A. J. Geary February 27, 2020 When I receive exceptional service, I like to share it with other potential users. I recently used Dan Fox and Hawkeye for my single family home inspection, as he was recommended by my broker. Dan was punctual, actually early, and was very professional and detailed. He explained what he was going to do so I knew exactly what to expect. He reviewed each floor on the house, the exterior and attic, pointing out both potential problems and pluses. The 99 page inspection report included over 200 pictures. Recommended maintenance and small repairs were also very useful. I would strongly recommend Dan and Hawkeye for your inspection services. Well worth your time and money! - Eric P. January 26, 2020 Very detailed and professional! Provided great recommendations and a detailed report, promised and delivered before midnight the day of our inspection! - Michael Sack January 25, 2020 I would definitely recommend Hawkeye for all your inspection needs. Chris was amazing and took the time to explain everything to us in a professional manner. He was extremely thorough and down to earth. I feel comfortable now knowing our family will be safe knowing our home's needs. Worth every penny you will pay for being able to negotiate the price afterward. I would give 5 out of 5 stars for their excellent service. - Kelly F. January 23, 2020 Mark Childs was our inspector and was very thorough and explained everything that he was doing. We were very satisfied with our home inspection from beginning to end. Mark was very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Hawkeye for your home inspections. - Debbie Walsh January 10, 2020 Tom was excellent, explaining in detail each aspect of house inspection. The best part was how to take long term care of the property. - Hanee Thaor January 7, 2020 My home inspection with John from Hawkeye was amazing. He showed up early and was very thorough, and answered all my questions. I feel very comfortable moving forward with my home purchase after the inspection will definitely recommend Hawkeye to other people. - Jason Harvey December 19, 2019 Dear Neil, Thank you for performing two home inspections for us - plus driving extra time due to weather. We appreciate it. Happy holidays. - Julie and David December 18, 2019 Kurt from Hawkeye Home Inspections came out and inspected our first home. He could not have been any better. An absolute joy to work with, informative and thorough, he explained everything he was doing and was willing to answer any and all questions we had for him. We did the home inspection during terrible weather and he was not only punctual but beat us to the location by 15 minutes or so. Dealing with the office staff was a breeze as well and scheduling was a piece of cake. I highly recommend Kurt and Hawkeye Home Inspections for any inspection services and will most certainly be giving them a call for any future needs! - T. Moore November 13, 2019 Peter was great during our home inspection. He was very thorough and talked us through everything he did. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and overall presentation performed during inspection. Peter was also very knowledgeable of other resources new home owners should take advantage of which was very appreciated. We would highly recommend Hawkeye Home Inspections to all friends and family. Thanks again! - Saray October 29, 2019 Shopping for a home is a stressful process. One thing that made me rest easy was knowing Tom Scannell from Hawkeye Home Inspections was there to make sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into before moving forward with the purchase of a home -- the biggest investment of our lives. My husband and I thought we had found the house of our dreams until Tom came in and found what TWO OTHER home inspectors had missed before him -- knob and tube electricity still left over from the early 1900s! This is something dangerous that the current owners didn't even know about! His diligence so far surpassed our expectations. He even discovered that a nearby garbage sorting facility was smelly in the summertime (we saw the house in October) and that the facility sprayed "fruit smells" in the air to mask it. Gross! This is something as first-time home buyers we would have never known or even thought to ask. We ended up passing on this home and moving on to another. The next home he inspected came out with far fewer issues, and we can't wait to move in! We never could have done it without Tom. He goes above and beyond for his company and his customers. He made me feel absolutely sure that we were making the right decision for our family. He won't leave the premises without making you feel at ease about everything. I couldn't recommend him more. Thank you, Tom! - Casey Mann Would highly recommend. Professional and courteous all around - a pleasure to work with. The team in the office made all of the administrative work a breeze. Then, our home inspector, Tom, was incredibly thorough and accommodating. We feel very confident that the inspection was solid and no corners cut. - Max Guerrieri October 28, 2019 We worked with Dan Fox and the experience went way above our expectations. He took lots of photos and explained everything that would be in the report in layman's terms, making it easy for us to understand. I highly recommend Hawkeye and Dan! - Nirka Rosa I highly recommend Chris Gregoire at Hawkeye Home Inspection to anyone who needs a home inspection. He did an excellent job inspecting my new home. He did a complete inspection of all parts of the house which took approximately 3 hours. This inspection was done in my presence and that of our agent and the listing agent and without reservation all were impressed with his knowledge and explanation of what he was doing. Chris also gave me valuable tips on how to correct minor flaws. He is both personable and professional in the performance of his job. It is without reservation that I would recommend him for any home inspection. - Lisa Mallard October 15, 2019 My husband and I had a home inspection last weekend and John Moulton was our inspector. John went above and beyond what we could have expected. My husband and I decided not to move forward with the house after reading through the report and we will definitely be looking to have John at our next home inspection, hopefully sooner than later! Best, Meredith October 13, 2019 Peter did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable and walking us through all of the systems and components of the home. He provided a lot of great insight into the condition of the house. Would highly recommend. - Greg Saia October 12, 2019 I own my business, and travel for work - a lot. I spoke with Dan before the inspection because I was going to be out of town, and asked him to be as thorough as possible so that there would be no surprises. Not only did Dan deliver, but he went above and beyond what I'd hoped for, and I am so grateful. His report contained hundreds of pictures and detailed reports on every feature of the home, and even after all that, he still spent time on the phone with me to go through the report remotely and make sure I understood everything. Thanks to his diligence I was able to confidently make an informed decision. My search for a new home continues, but I feel extremely fortunate to have been put in contact with Dan and plan to continue to call on him and his expertise in this and all my future property purchases. The rest of the team at the Hawkeye office was equally great to deal with, and took the time to communicate with me thoroughly and keep me informed. This team took a potentially stressful moment in the life of a home buyer and turned it into a situation wherein the homebuyer felt supported and advocated for - Thank you all so much. - Bianca Mauro, BRM Production Management October 4, 2019 Mark did a great job: he noted all items I was looking for guidance on. We recommend and will ask for your service in the future. - Scott Scott October 2, 2019 I used both Neil and Peter for a home inspection and they were both excellent. They were so outgoing, and both brought snacks and water to our apppointment. Peter even gave me a small framed picture of the house I was buying - so sweet. They were both so knowledgeable and thorough. They made the entire experience very pleasant and productive. Plus, they have an excellent online system to schedule and pay for your inspection. Love their service! - Jody S. Mark Child's from Hawkeye was excellent. He was thorough, answered any of our questions and was very friendly. I am extremely pleased with his professionalism and attention to detail. John - Medway September 18, 2019 Peter was very informative and thorough going through our scheduled Shrewsbury home inspection. Definitely a 10 star presentation and even made the experience comfortable. He even gave my wife a framed picture of the home which was very thoughtful. Definitely recommend to anyone buying a new home in the area. - Alex de Montigny My home inspection with Hawkeye was great. From the live staff who answered the phone on a Sunday morning to schedule my inspection, to the hours spent with Kurt at the home, everyone was pleasant, knowledgeable, and detailed, with a great sense of humor! My inspection report is very helpful, with detailed information, photos, and recommendations for maintenance. It was a pleasure working with Kurt and everyone at Hawkeye. - Laurie Gobeil September 16, 2019 Daniel Fox did an exceptional job with my home inspection. He explained the issues found, answered every question I had, and went out of his way to show me potential fixes for some of the minor issues. I would not hesitate to use them again. - Hank Wallace September 13, 2019 We just wanted to write a review on our inspection yesterday with Daniel Fox. He was fantastic. Very friendly, knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything that he was doing and looking for. His report was received the same day, very detailed and informative. We would highly recommend this company and him as an inspector. Thank you!!! - Liz and Matt Landry August 18, 2019 Wow, Mark is amazing! So thorough and knowledgeable. Also just super sweet - he pulled out snacks as well. It was a long day, so much appreciated. Thanks for the excellent service! - Ayshia S. August 17, 2019 As a testimonial to the professionalism and competency of Kurt Fleming, this is the second time we've used Kurt, and we have recommended him to a family member who used him. His work is top flight and the Markoffs are very impressed! We will be using him in the very near future for another inspection. All the very best - Gary and Eliane Markoff Very satisfied with the home inspection through Hawkeye. Dan’s attention to detail really helped me as a first time home buyer and allowed me to really see the property with a different perspective. Well worth the cost (maybe a touch above average). I would recommend this company! - Amanda Sutherland August 5, 2019 Hawkeye is a team of wonderful inspectors. Dan has done 3 inspections for my family and each time we felt incredibly happy we chose them. They are not rushed and were happy to go the extra mile in explaining what was going on with the houses. They always go above and beyond...and it seems it's because they truly love doing inspections. I wouldn't hire anyone else. - Alleah Friedrichs August 3, 2019 Peter did my inspection and he was great. He caught the smallest little detail in things that I had already walked by two or three times. He took his time and was very thorough. He also made sure that I knew exactly what something was and how it worked and explained what I should do in the future if it didn't work. His extraordinary expertise was only outdone by his great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Peter and Hawkeye Home Inspections. - Mary Fitzgerald July 29, 2019 Fantastic team. Were there for us when we needed them and results where ontime or earlier...often the latter. - Kamal Shannak July 19, 2019 Mike K. did our inspection and did a great job. He was professional, easy to talk with and listened to any concern we had. He was enthusiastic, especially when trying to trace a drain hose that seemed to go nowhere. I would use them again in the future if the need arose. - Peter Orford June 30, 2019 Just writing to tell you that Daniel did AWESOME with my home inspection last week. So professional and personable. I have been through a lot of inspections over the years and I can honestly say that this was so incredibly different. I have never had anyone actually walk and talk through the inspection, explaining everything, so I knew what I was reading on the report. He started by asking if I had plans to do any remodeling or make any changes when I moved in so he could look make the necessary recommendations. I really learned a lot and feel so comfortable purchasing this property. The report itself was thorough and even included points to keep in mind for future maintenance/reference. I really could go on and on. It was such a different experience and I would recommend Hawkeye to anyone...actually I already have. - Julie S. Gordon June 18, 2019 From the customer service phone call with Deborah to the inspection with John Moulton, I had a great experience with Hawkeye! Deborah was super nice on the phone while helping me make the appointment and even nicer when I called back with all my first-time home buyer inspection questions. She was kind, patient and very helpful. John was also super nice and thorough in his inspection. He even brought us snacks! He arrived early and made sure to check everything off the list. I would definitely recommend using Hawkeye. - Virginia B. June 11, 2019 Kurt was wonderful to work with. He is knowledgeable and precise - he was very thorough in the home inspection. He walked through it with us, showing us areas that might need improvement/fixing soon vs. ones that can wait a while. It was informative to have someone explaining everything about the house's functions to us and answering all of our questions. - Bria Milbery June 10, 2019 Great experience and very thorough! - Morgan Johnson June 10, 2019 Peter was thorough and took time to explain things to two rookies as well answer all our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, genuine and a joy to have do our home inspection. We would highly recommend Hawkeye to anyone! - Emily Cataldo June 7, 2019 Hawkeye did a fantastic job for us! I highly recommend their services! - Blake Poole June 5, 2019 Patrick and Peter were absolutely fantastic during two of our home inspections. Not only were they professional and thorough, they provided us with very helpful insight into each home which helped make our decisions easier. I would highly recommend Hawkeye for your home inspection! - Ryan Wood May 20, 2019 Hawkeye's Dan and Chris were professional, courteous and beyond thorough with the inspection of our prospective home. They kept us posted on their progress through the house, bringing things to our attention as necessary. They took their time to explain their findings and recommendations. The final report was comprehensive and easy to read. We feel confident that their findings helped us make the best decision regarding the home. - Gabriel Jackson May 16, 2019 Mark Childs was excellent. He was very thorough, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and would explain to me why something was wrong. I got to learn a lot about the house I am buying because of him. I would recommend him to anyone else who is buying a house. Thanks for everything. - Shane McGraw April 20, 2019 Mark did great on his inspection. Stacey was very helpful. Thank you all. Purchase fell through but I am glad you guys pointed out to issues and I feel better now not getting into this purchase. - David Diaz April 18, 2019 As I said to Peter when we met him and Jeremy Murphy at the 65 Grove St. #342 condominium in Wellesley, MA, I selected Hawkeye for this important step in Liz's and my decision-making, based on the strength of your customers' recommendations. Peter: You and Jeremy completely met our expectations. Accompanying you during the inspection was both enlightening and a great pleasure. You explained why each issue--from electrical outlets, to window seals, to the utility of the electrical panel, to the condition of the building's basement and roof--was important. And, as the inspection moved forward, we acquired a cumulative overview of Wellesley Green's suitability to meet the safety and comfort expectations for this next phase of our enjoyable and active living. Your comprehensive report available so quickly reinforced that conclusion. Liz and I recommend without reservation the Hawkeye Company's inspection protocols, procedures, and reporting. - Paul A. and Elizabeth F. Fideler April 17, 2019 I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Hawkeye for professional services provided by Pete and Dana for the home inspection of a condo unit. They did a wonderful and very thorough job and have a fantastic sense of humor. Pleasant business experiences are often rare these days and these gentlemen exuded a caring, helpful nature that you find with good friends...wish you all the best..thanks for service.....Jeff March 25, 2019 We had a home inspection on a house that we are buying done by Kurt Fleming. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. He is professional and made this experience a pleasant one. I'm sure it didn't hurt that there wasn't anything glaringly wrong with the house, but what small things we did find, he was knowledgeable about and offered some ideas on resolution. I have been present for other home inspections in the past and the home inspectors made it seem like every little thing was a big deal, catastrophic - but not Kurt. He was concise, practical and again, above all, had a great sense of humor, and was so pleasant. If this is the caliber of inspectors that Hawkeye employs and offers, then, rest assured that you are in great hands. Thanks again for the service. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. - KSW March 22, 2019 Hawkeye is the best, with great staff that help schedule and amazing inspectors that take time to explain their findings and make sure you are aware of all issues. They are the best inspection company I have ever used! I would highly recommend them and as a realtor will always recommend them to clients! - Brett S. January 25, 2019 Wanted to thank Mike Kilgallen for helping me out at my inspection on Wednesday. He gave me a bunch of great info that I have used to get money back from the sellers and commitments for them to fix things. Great guy and great work. - Blake from Holliston December 26, 2018 Dear Peter, Chris and the Hawkeye Team, Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you ! Our home inspection was filled with so much valuable information, and a lot of laughs. I can't thank you enough for making it an unforgettable experience. All of my questions were answered in detail, and every nook and crevice of the home was looked at. As a new home buyer, I was been expecting this experience to be horrible. But, it has not been awful at all, and I think it's because we have all the right people on our side! Thank you so much again, not only for all your hard work, but for the snacks and beverages as well ! We are moving forward with the home! Paul and I are very grateful for your help, and hope to be able to work with you guys in the near future ! Thanks a million ! - Rachel Lacci December 16, 2018 Thank you – you all made this step of my purchase really easy. Patrick was fantastic. Very friendly, prompt and professional. - J.C. November 17, 2018 Hawkeye was great to work with. They got back to us right away to set a date and then were flexible when we needed to change it last minute. Mike, our inspector, was great to work with. He explained everything to us step by step, pointed out things that weren't necessarily going to be used for the home inspection but would be good to change on our own to preserve our lawn or other parts of the house. We really appreciated all the guidance and suggestions he made. Would definitely use them again! - Happy Homeowners December 2, 2018 I would like to thank Hawkeye for the building inspection services they provided to us for the purchase of our home. Our inspector, Daniel Fox, was highly knowledgeable in all aspects of the inspection. He was very personable and patient while explaining the general process and specific considerations for this property. He took numerous pictures and provided a highly detailed report for use in negotiating the final adjustments in our Purchase & Sale Agreement. Daniel also placed the necessary testing equipment for radon, arranged for its pickup with our Realtor, and followed up to make sure the lab report was provided in a very timely manner allowing us to meet an aggressive timeline to complete our building inspection process. The end result allowed us to formulate fair requests for credits related to legitimate items in need of attention and also to give us a comprehensive understanding of all our building systems and designs for our future information in owning this home. I would highly recommend Hawkeye and Daniel to anyone seeking competent, timely, and reasonably priced home inspection services. - Bob G. October 18, 2018 I just wanted to say that Mark knocked it out of the park...not only was he engaging in conversation, and putting up with my horrible jokes, he was very detailed and informative for everything he did. I am glad that you have a guy like that on your team. He made the experience for me 110% better!! - Mark Folino, Satisfied Customer Kurt did a great job, we will see you on our next investment - Amir September 20, 2018 From the moment I scheduled my inspection to receiving my final inspection report, my entire Hawkeye experience was seamless. Making an appointment was easy, and both ladies I spoke with were so pleasant! I was fortunate enough to have had Peter and Julie perform my inspection. As a first time home buyer, I did not know all the questions to ask or I had (possibly) silly questions. Peter and Julie were thorough, answered every question, walked me through everything I needed to know...and they did so with a great attitude. Peter was hilarious and, within minutes, I felt like I had known him for years. He even handed me my first framed picture of my new house! They both take great pride in their profession and it shows. I highly recommend this company - especially Peter and Julie! - Katie K. August 6, 2018 Hawkeye was excellent. They offered a Sunday inspection since our timing was tight, and Mark was awesome! Funny guy and very thorough. And a fair price. We had a great experience. - Alison S. July 27, 2018 Dan Fox did en excellent job. He came late on a Friday to do our inspection, and was extremely thorough. He explained everything in detail, and the report we received is now our checklist of projects to tackle when we move in to the house. The service was far superior to what we've experienced in the past with other inspectors. We would highly recommend.- Satisfied Waltham Residents July 3, 2018 "100% would recommend Hawkeye Inspectors! Mike, our inspector was awesome! He was there right on time, immediately made my parents and me feel secure in his introduction, knowledge, explanations, feedback, asked if we had questions every step of the way, and was just a great guy!" - Anne Stout June 26, 2018 I want to personally thank you for the professionalism that your company offers. Mark Childs was my recent home inspector. Mark was very well organized and prepared. He made understanding the inspection process simple and very comforting. I have now decided to take a leap and get my home inspection license so that I may have the opportunity to calm someone's nerves about buying a house just like Mark did for my family. I truly can not say enough about him and the company. No longer strangers - when someone asks for a referral I will tell them to go see my "friends" at Hawkeye Home Inspections. -Marrcus Henry June 13, 2018 "Kurt was patient and unflappable. I really appreciated his willingness to meet us the very next day as we had a very tight closing turnaround. - Anastasia April 13, 2018 Everything went really smoothly. Dan Fox did our inspection and was very thorough and knowledgeable. I shadowed Dan on the inspection and learned a lot about the house. Things to be concerned about, non-issues and where all the shutoffs were. Very open to questions and easy to talk with. The whole process was great from initial schedule to receiving a detailed report the night of the inspection. I'd use Hawkeye and Dan again in a heart beat and would recommend to family and friends. - Mark Carlson April 10, 2018 Hi! Dan was great. Super professional and personable. He had already covered a ton of ground before our scheduled start time. He was extremely thorough and provided clear explanations about everything. This is the 3rd time I've used a home inspector and he was far above any of my prior experiences. His thorough report - turned around hours after the inspection - was very impressive. Thank you for an excellent experience.Liz G. March 19, 2018 Hi Peter, My husband and I were very happy with Dan, he did a great job. I'm so glad our realtor recommended your company. We will definitely be recommending to our friends! - Best, Meghan W. March 2, 2018 It was very reassuring to have Patrick once more provide such a detailed description of everything as we went through the inspection. His written report was just as important in helping me make a decision about the purchase of the property. Very professional and knowledgeable are just to words to describe him. Thank you, - Jenny March 1, 2018 "Also, we were both very impressed with the professionalism and courteousness of Hawkeye and Dan. We will personally refer them at any opportunity and encourage you to keep them right at the top of your list. " - Anonymous February 13, 2018 We want to thank Kurt for going above and beyond to make the home inspection process enjoyable for us. As first time home buyers we were relying heavily on Kurt's knowledge and expertise to make sure we were comfortable with the property. His thoroughness and in depth feedback ensured that we left with a comprehensive understanding of every part of the house. Kurt was extremely professional and patient throughout the whole inspection while mixing in some humor to make it fun. He answered all of our questions and even brought cookies and snacks! I would highly recommend Kurt in the future. - Thank you again, Corey & Ashley February 13, 2018 Thanks to Dan Fox at Hawkeye inspectors. He did a wonderful job at finding all the things I missed. Even a trained home inspector like myself (non-practicing) was not good enough to find all the little things Dan helped me to uncover with my home. Dan spent a whopping 4 hours here at my home and I couldn't be happier with the quality job he did. Going far beyond what I expected and the little things he found will help me tighten up my home and ready it for sale. Thanks Dan for an amazing job. - Doug Livolsi February 13, 2018 Mr. Menton was nothing but excellent. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Also, he was very patient and kind to repeat and use language that I was able to understand when I was having difficulty comprehending what the problem was or just simply having difficulty with terms that I'm not used to. The final report was very consistent and included more detail about all the issues and safety concerns that had been explained as the inspection was in progress. Seeing the detailed photographs and explanation of various terms was very useful for my understanding of the issues, and my decision about the purchase of this property. Again, I'm very satisfied with Mr. Menton's job and very thankful for his wonderful report. Sincerely, -- Jenny February 9, 2018 For Patrick Menton: 10 out of 10 where ten is best. Thank you. - The Benner's January 8, 2018 Peter - We could not have asked for a better inspector or experience than we had with you and John. You were truly an answered prayer. Thorough, experienced, welcoming and so personable. Amidst all the new adventures and accompanying responsibilities of buying our first home, our time together was of inestimable value and served to increase our confidence and joy during this process of becoming homeowners. God bless and thank you so much. - Joe & Leigh Rosato December 26, 2017 Peter is an excellent home inspector and takes pride and great joy in performing his job. (He even confided that he'd prefer to stay and work then retreat to Florida this winter!) Peter was recently chosen by the buyer to inspect the house which took about two hours. After the inspection, Peter contacted me directly to alert the sellers to winterize the outside faucets in order to avoid freezing. As many of you know, burst pipes can be a major setback and jeopardize or delay the sale of the home. In my experience, burst pipes are a major burden that no seller wants to contend with. Thank you Peter for diverting a potential catastrophe and allowing me to in turn, alert the out of town Sellers! Happy Holidays! Nancy Capalucci Antonio, Keller Williams Realty nancyantonio@kw.com, 508-561-0865 November 21, 2017 I just want to thank Kurt Fleming for going above and beyond what was required. Since there was a delay in starting the inspection, Kurt was able to accommodate the situation and do a complete and exceptional job. He did not rush the inspection to stay on time but actually put in extra time, working methodically each room as he usually does. It was amazing to watch him work - investigating every little area. My husband and I learned so much from him. We definitely will recommend him to our family, friends, and co-workers and use him in the future. Thank you Kurt. Sincerely, Marianne November 7, 2017 Peter, It was a pleasure to meet you and John this past weekend, and I thank you both very much for your services. You made the home inspection enjoyable, and I learned a lot. I will be sure to recommend you to others. All my Best, Dennis Gibbons August 29, 2017 We could not be more pleased with Dan Fox. It is rare that a consumer has the good fortune of working with someone as professional as Dan. A great learning experience for us and a confidence that any major issues the house may have had would have been discovered by this pro. Thank you again. Richard & Brenda May 24, 2016 Mike was early to the appointment, professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. - Bryan S. May 18 2016 Hawkeye Inspectors were awesome from beginning to end. They booked my inspection with very short notice, and sent me friendly reminder emails regarding time and place. Peter was so great - he completely demystified a potentially scary process for me, a first time home buyer. He is professional yet very good humored, and answered all my "dumb" questions without making me feel dumb. I highly recommend them, and especially Peter - he's great! - Kristina S. May 12, 2016 Thank you for coming out today. Phil was knowledgable and professional. Made it a great experience. Thanks again. - John Guarnieri May 9, 2016 "Thank you for all of your help and making the inspection such an enjoyable experience. As a first time home buyer the whole process has been a stressful experience with a steep learning curve, but I couldn't have asked for a better inspector. Peter took the time to explain his inspection criteria in depth while he was conducting the inspection. As relatives reviewed the copy of his inspection report, they were astounded by the amount of detail and diligence that the inspection included. As an added perk, a custom inspection binder was provided which included a helpful home repair manual. To top it all off, Peter bought drinks and snacks for everyone present. I'll be referring him and Hawkeye to anyone I know in the home buying market." - Michael, Grafton, MA April 30, 2016 Mike is a fantastic inspector and is an absolute credit to your company. We would recommend him highly to anyone. - Regards, David Cook April 6, 2016 “So let's face it, kids...buying a house is probably one of the most stressful and biggest purchases you'll ever make in your life and nothing in life has intellectually or emotionally prepared you to have any sort of knowledge or ability to figure out if the house you're buying is a Shelley Long/Tom Hanks caliber money pit (totally just gave away my age there lol)...so you learn pretty quickly that it's all about finding resources and contacts you can trust to help guide you through these decisions...the first major one being the home inspection. =) I did my homework on home inspection companies in the area (I bought my house in Framingham) and based on the positive reviews, services offered, etc. decided Hawkeye was the right company for me. I saw words like thorough, friendly, detailed, knowledgeable, sense of humor and some other stuff like how detailed the reports were, etc. It also seemed to me that most of the negative reviews were based on unrealistic expectations and since overall the reviews were far better than any other inspectors I decided to go with Hawkeye. I called up and got an appointment within the next 1-2 days to have my home inspected by Danny. Danny was awesome! He was on time, super pleasant and fun, incredibly thorough, took the time to explain the whole process to me before getting started and helped reel in my enthusiasm or flippant comments (about some things not being a big deal to me) while the realtors were around. =) What can I say I'm very excitable/heart on my sleeve lol. Danny covered every corner, every outlet, every surface of my house (a single family house with 3 beds + study, roughly 1500-1600 sq. feet not including the small walk up attic, detached 1 car garage, large deck and full basement). On top of inspecting the house for any issues, Danny also walked me through some of the maintenance I would need to do as a homeowner (like did you know that your house has air filters you need to change depending on the heating system or how frequently you need to change them? or that you turn off the water that runs to your hose in winter? I didn't - until Danny told me lol) and prioritized the repairs for me and how long I had before I would need to make any repairs/updates. He also made himself available after the inspection to go over any questions I had once I got the report which came in real handy! Aside from how great Danny was - the report you receive is also awesome. You’ll get a hard copy of the report in a binder with color pictures and explanations of the damage, etc. as well as a digital copy. That was really great, but the best thing about this whole process was not just the peace of mind I felt about buying my house because of the condition, but actually being walked through a lot of the homeowner stuff so I realized it wasn't as daunting as I thought. And let's face it - if you've got someone pleasant with you, everything's a lot better so having a friendly, pleasant (and patient lol) person to do the inspection really helps. I would expect no less on the being thorough and knowledgeable part but some people consider the nice, friendly, pleasant stuff optional so having someone as personable and friendly as Danny to take the fear out of the process was a real win for me personally. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hawkeye and Danny again - no questions asked, no caveats, no hesitation. - Ece Akturk March 29, 2016 I'd like to mention what a pleasure it was to work with Mike. He was professional and courteous at all times. He patiently answered all of my questions. He took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and understood what he was doing, what he was looking at, and why it was important. He explained the free year of home repair advice and the value of Mass Save programs. Home buying can be really intimidating, but Mike made this part of the process reassuring and educational. Please pass along my compliments to him and his manager. Nice work!! - Alana March 9, 2016 You never told me how great your company is......namely, Mike Kilgallen!!!! He is the best inspector!!! Very efficient, informative,detailed, patient, we were very lucky to have him. Will definitely recommend him to all my friends!!! He provided a 5 star service and we love him!! - Sincerely, Teya King, MD Februrary 29, 2016 Mike was so thorough and meticulous in inspecting every inch of the home. He was also so informative and patient in explaining every issue and concern. We cannot praise Mike's work enough...and his customer service is truly unmatched! - Warmest regards, Joy September 21, 2015 We are so glad we went through Hawkeye for our home inspection! We are first time homebuyers and had a lot of questions. Peter answered all of our questions in detail and made us feel very comfortable during the home inspection! We walked away from the process being more knowledgeable about our future home and being homeowners. Peter even provided us with a framed picture of our new home - which we loved! We would recommend the services of Hawkeye to any of our friends and family in the process of purchasing a new home. Thank you Hawkeye! Jessica F. May 14, 2015 Anthony did a very thorough job and was very professional and personable at the same time. He stopped anytime I had a question and took the time make sure I understood everything. He never made the process feel rushed. I was impressed and reassured throughout. Craig R. May 6, 2015 I used Hawkeye for a home inspection last month. Anthony Mazzola was the assigned inspector. As first time home buyers we were novices on the different aspects of an inspection. Anthony did an outstanding job by explaining in detail every point on the inspection checklist. He did this during the inspection process, so we got to learn a lot about the home and its maintenance. It gave us confidence on the deal we were getting into. He was very patient in answering all our questions sometimes even going into technical details. As a bonus, he brought in snacks, water and soda which was a pleasant surprise. They turned in the report in 2 days and overall we were extremely satisfied with the experience. Hawkeye takes efforts to keep you posted on home tips which I find useful as a first time home buyer. I would definitely recommend Hawkeye if you have a home inspection need. Ashok W. March 10, 2015 The inspection went very well , thank you. That Anthony is amazing! I was very impressed with his thoroughness, his knowledge, and his winning manner! I look forward to the report. Sincerely, Janice Phillipps February 26, 2015 Anthony Mazzola couldn't have been more professional, thorough and courteous. Anthony really took the time to make sure I understood everything, asked follow-up questions, pointed out and educated me on potential problems and fixes down the road. Above all else, he knew what he was doing. I will certainly use and refer Hawkeye Home Inspections to anybody I know. Please feel free to pass this along to the owner, supervisor or Anthony himself. Sincerely, Stephen Roberts The inspection went well. Anthony was knowledgable, professional, and very nice. Thank you, Faith W. February 19, 2015 Bryan was excellent I will recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector. He is knowledge able and very thorough. It was a pleasure to work with him. Thank you. Mike Staffiere December 10, 2014 Peter has a keen eye for detail and offered a wealth of information throughout the course of the inspection. He was a pleasure to work with offering snacks, as well as a framed picture of our new home. The cost of the inspection more than paid for itself, as we were able to negotiate $1,500 off our offer price using pictures from the inspection report as support. In addition, a 10% off coupon provided to Lowe's saved us $100 on a new washer and dryer. Alex H. November 13, 2014 Thanks for sending me a copy of the invoice receipt. I just have to PRAISE Peter Ottowitz for his skillset in performing this inspection. I was 100% sure I was getting a gem of a deal, but his thoroughness and willingness to crawl into every nook and cranny (including places I would never dream of going) just saved me from making a terrible purchasing decision. As a result, I have withdrawn my offer to buy this particular house. The foundation is literally caving in underneath the house, the chimney needs significant repairs, a lot of the ‘upgraded’ electrical work was poorly or incompletely done and the list goes on and on. In short, he saved me thousands of dollars in repair work that I would not have been able to afford. Aside from that, he has a great sense of humor, explains things in a way a non-professional can understand and even brings water and snacks for his clients. Love it! I cannot express how grateful I am that he was the one to perform this inspection. Hopefully, I'll find another house and you can bet I will call and ask for Peter to do that inspection too! Regards, Pat A. July 31, 2014 My cousin highly recommended Hawkeye Home Inspections. They had the pleasure of working with Nick. My husband and I worked with Peter and he was very kind and patient with all our questions (my father-in-law included!) and was very thorough in going through our new home. His professionalism mixed with a terrific sense of humor was great! Thank you Peter! Best, Laura & Jeff Chelmsford, MA July 31, 2014 " Peter was extremely thorough in both of our inspections. He helped us avoid a bad decision in the first one, and in the second we were able to negotiate $4k toward closing costs based on inspection results. " Dave C. & Erin W. May 21, 2014 Hello! I just wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone at Hawkeye Home Inspections. Every interaction has been professional, courteous, and informative. As for the actual inspection, Peter was an absolute delight to work with throughout the entire home inspection process. He was extremely thorough in his work, and clear in his explanations. He answered every question, and never made us feel like he wanted to just get through the process. The actual report is organized and easy to read. Plus, the summary was emailed to us the very next morning. Peter provided a variety of snacks and drinks, a helpful binder to store all of the paperwork and reports, and a lovely framed photo of the house as a keepsake. How cool and thoughtful! I never want to buy another house (wow, this is a stressful process), but if I did, I would call Hawkeye right away. I will be recommending this company to all of my friends and family! Thanks for such a great experience! Valerie Sharpe April 29, 2014 Peter, We are very happy with the thorough, professional and proficient service provided by Hawkeye Home Inspections. As we reported to Angie's List, Nick Palmer explained everything he did as he conducted the inspection and answered all of our questions. We are impressed with the beautifully organized and presented report and especially appreciate the wealth of information included on how to operate and maintain our new home. Marc F. & Nancy S. April 13, 2014 Peter, I just wanted to thank you for the great work. I have completed my buying requests per your recommendations and was able to do things easily since we were working in electronic form. Your report and dialog during the inspection was very thorough and informative. I have been reading the book as well and it has helped my understanding of construction tremendously. Best, Chris from Watertown, MA April 4, 2014 “Peter, I am so impressed by your marketing and by your follow-up. You do a fine job. My feedback is that Bryan did an awesome job, as always. You guys are the best! It was a great home inspection, very informative. You have a very calm way about presenting the facts the way they are. I don’t think there is anything you can improve. Thank you for doing such great work. You guys rock! I hope we work together again soon.” Ursula FluryNashoba Real Estate, Inc. (Formerly Ursula Graf Real Estate) PO Box 377, Groton, MA 01450 o: 978.449.4499 m: 978.697.1519 e: ursula@nashobarealestate.com w: nashobarealestate.com March 27, 2014 This is one of the best experiences I've ever had. The best money you spend on real estate starts with a home inspection. It's the most important part of the process. Nick arrived 15 minutes early and took the time to explain all my paperwork and assured me to ask as many questions as I needed to. He took the time to explain his process. He even brought snacks and drinks – a very unique touch. Nick went over the entire condo, basement, attic and outside of the house slowly and very well. He had a great sense of humor and was very professional. I didn't feel comfortable climbing a latter into the attic, so Nick and my realtor went up for a good 20 minutes and then came down and explained all of their findings. This process took about three and a half hours. I did not feel rushed once. Nick gave me a great binder with all the information I needed for the home. He gave me peace of mind by showing me the minor repairs needed on the condo before signing the P&S. Nick gave me so many tips and hints. I learned a lot! He even got out of his car after we completed the inspection and asked what my realtor and I were looking at from across the street (chimney/roof). He wanted to make sure we didn't have additional questions. Do not search for a home inspector. Call Hawkeye. They're worth every penny!!!! I will always refer these guys. Thanks Nick and Hawkeye!!!! Vanessa T. March 3, 2014 Thank you Peter. I just want to say what a pleasure it was working with you. You were so professional and thorough that it really put my mind to ease as we move forward. Thank you. David T., Cambridge, MA January 21, 2014 Hi Peter, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and Nick for the amazing service and attention you have provided to me. I received Peter’s voicemail a few days ago but I was so busy with everything going on and I didn’t have a chance to call him back. Nick provided an exceptional inspection. I left feeling like I had a really good sense of the problem areas in the home and places that needed attention. He was very informative, polite, and thorough. The house was not easy to inspect due to the tenants overwhelming amount of clutter. But Nick was patient and did what he could. And, despite the clutter, was very thorough. Susana was so kind and reassuring when she returned my initial phone call. I felt comfortable right off the bat, and I am so happy I chose Hawkeye in the end (just like she promised I would be). I am really impressed with the follow up from Peter as well. When does the company’s owner ever call a client? That is a true testament to your businesses high level of customer service. Overall I am extremely happy with doing business with Hawkeye, and will certainly recommend your company to anyone I know looking for a home inspector. Thank you all! Sincerely, Adriana A. January 15, 2014 Peter was very thorough in our review of the property. He was well prepared and very knowledgeable in every aspect of the inspection. I was emailed a detailed report complete with pictures the same day as the inspection was done. I recommend going with Hawkeye. Jonathan Hansen December 18, 2013 Thank you so much, Peter! I am very impressed by your service and the detail in this report!!! You have been more than helpful. We were hesitant to purchase an older home, but I feel more at ease after speaking with you and hearing your thoughts and advice. I appreciate it!! Best, Maureen December 2, 2013 Peter was very thorough with the inspection, checking every part of the house inside and out. I am confident I won't have any issues with my previous concerns before he looked at them. Jess Plante November 30, 2013 We were so pleased with the whole inspection. Peter was very thorough and knowledgeable. We felt confident purchasing our home. Karen Hayes & Joe Sawisch November 16, 2013 Peter did a great job. He was professional, did a detailed and careful inspection. His thorough report helped us negotiate several improvements that were important and improved what we purchased. Drs. Amy & Steve Gerson November 3, 2013 Dear Peter, It was a great experience to have Bryan Wilcox as our home inspector. He was recommended to us by one of our friends and we were pleased by his job. Without any doubts, we will recommend your company for thorough house inspections. Thank you again. Andrey Layer September 16, 2013 "Peter was excellent to work with. He took the time to explain exactly what we needed to know when buying our first house. He worded everything so that I completely understood. He welcomed questions and did a thorough, expert job." Molly McCarthy September 13, 2013 "Top notch! They were the only inspection company I've used that sent me the results in a .pdf file with annotated photographs. I would not hesitate a second to call on them again. They seem to take pride in being friendly, personal, and attentive. " Nathan Hughes September 10, 2013 "I had a great experience. The report was easy to read and understand. I was able to negotiate and save $2500 based on the report. Thank you for a great experience." Katelyn Murphy September 10, 2013 "Thanks for the great work and follow up! Nick's inspection work was an asset to us, because it made making decisions regarding inspection follow-up easy from long distance. I would certainly recommend your company to others." Thanks, Joel and Dawn September 6, 2013 Thank you very much! We enjoyed working with your team and will definitely recommend anyone we know in the future. Thanks again, Jacqueline September 5, 2013 Peter, We had Nick Palmer as our inspector and I would just like to say that he was fantastic to work with. As a first time homebuyer my husband and I know little to nothing about home ownership and Nick took the time to explain every small little detail to us so that we understood and felt comfortable. The entire 4-hour process was great and extremely helpful to us. I would highly recommend Hawkeye, especially Nick to anyone looking for a home inspector! Many thanks, Daniela & Adam Maher August 20, 2013 Dear Mr. Ottowitz, My wife and I would like to thank you for sending Nick out to inspect (what we hope will soon be) our new home. Nick did an incredibly thorough yet efficient job going over the entire property. He was more than willing to spend the time it took for my wife and I to be entirely comfortable that we had a great understanding of the house. I’ll add that this happened on a Friday afternoon, when most folks are probably thinking more about weekend plans than about finishing strong! I know a thing or two about home-building, and yet I learned a great deal today. Nick’s professionalism meant that pointing out potential and real causes for concern never came across as pedantic; simply real concern from someone who cares about homes and their occupants deeply. In what has been a rollercoaster of a time for us, we’ve walked away from this inspection feeling more strongly than ever that this is the home we’ve always wanted. For that we’d like to thank Nick and Hawkeye for a job very well done. Cheers! Neil and Meredith Dooney August 6, 2013 Hawkeye provided excellent service. Ours was an older home that had been added on to over the years. The inspector explained each and every system to us, showed us where the main utility shut-offs were, and identified things that needed repairs so we knew what we were getting into; very important when you have become emotionally attached to a home. Thanks Hawkeye. Mark & Amber Westboro, MA July 7, 2013 Hawkeye was terrific! Professional, prompt, thorough and allowed my wife and I to feel enormous confidence both in the service we were receiving and the home we were purchasing. We would strongly recommend them to anyone! Rick and JoAnne Kilpatrick June 13, 2013 Hi Peter, Thank you. We’ve sent a list of repairs to the seller, and she has agreed to all, so we’re good to go. Thanks again, to you (Peter) and Andrew. You were both fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, thorough…and fun. You guys really made me comfortable, and actually made the process enjoyable. I’ll be happy to recommend you whenever I get the chance. Best, Rich Franklin, MA May 22, 2013 Peter Ottowitz and Hawkeye Home performed the most thorough, professional and enjoyable house inspection that I have ever done. In addition to the detailed report including multiple photos, they also gave me a binder filled with information that is sure to become my home ownership bible. To top it off, they provided refreshments! Truly superior service all around. Elizabeth Green May 17, 2013 Repeat customer and would highly recommend. Knows his business. Ron & Carol Blanchette from Burlington May 16, 2013 Very pleased with the service, Peter took the time to answer all our questions and walk us through every inch of the home. I also appreciated that we got a binder to keep everything organized and tips for home repairs. Jonathan & Sharon I loved working with Peter. He came highly recommended and he didn't disappoint. I walked away knowing so much more about the house. It really set my expectations as to what I'll need to check on over the years! Jennifer Exceptional service --- extremely thorough --- highly recommend Hawkeye to anyone requiring a home inspection --- Peter is the pro's pro and a great guy too! David Henry & Janet Taylor May 7, 2013 Peter was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable. We haven't had time to take advantage of any coupons yet. He was very thorough. Nancy and Bob Very pleased with how thorough our home inspection was done. Ernie and Karen Both the report and Peter were great. He found a number of things that were overlooked by a different inspector 9 months previous. Tom and Abby May 1, 2013 Thank you so much, Peter! Sara had raved about you tremendously and you still even exceeded my expectations with how wonderful you were. Best, Jen April 28, 2013 Hi Bryan, I just wanted to let you know that you were so spot-on in calling our attention to the water main, which was old and in your opinion probably full of rust. As a result, we asked the sellers for $1K cash back at close, to which they agreed. This week--fortunately before our closing date--the water main between the street and the house burst, and everything had to be replaced. The sellers are still the owners for another two weeks so they picked up the cost of that, but had it happened after we moved in, thanks to your warning, we would have had some financial cushion against the repair. So I just wanted to say thanks again for your thoroughness! Regards, Regina H. March 25, 2013 Peter, Bryan did a great job on the inspection. I look forward to working with your company in the near future. Steve Savarese March 21, 2013 We were beyond satisfaction with the inspection conducted by Bryan and want to make sure Hawkeye knows it. He was very polite, kind and patient with us during the process and by allowing us to follow him during his inspection, he was able to describe what he found and the implications. Bryan was a delight to work with and we will surely recommend Hawkeye as well as Bryan to our friends and family for any future inspections. Thanks, PB Tam March 21, 2013 Hi Peter - Thank you for your follow-up. It's great to know we can still use you as a resource and will definitely keep that in mind. We're moving into our home next weekend, and we're very excited! Thanks again for providing us with a great service and for all the helpful tips etc. sent post inspection. Best, Paula & Sean March 16, 2013 Thanks so much--Bryan was great to work with. We will happily recommend Hawkeye Inspections to anyone. Regina H. Woburn March 15, 2013 Had my future home inspected by Hawkeye and the inspection had gone above and beyond what I had expected. Hawkeye was recommended by my fiance's brother. Before his home purchase, he had Bryan from Hawkeye inspect the home. This home was a little of a "fixer upper", but after the inspection, he had a very good idea of what to expect. He now has been in the house for a bit over three years, and he has told me there were no surprises that Bryan hadn't pointed out. A couple weeks ago had my future home in northern Mass inspected by Peter, and I could not be more pleased with the inspection. I would highly recommend Hawkeye! Charles Nelson March 5, 2013 I thought it was a very professional and thorough inspection.You provided me lots of useful information like the supplemental guides and follow up emails containing additional assistance for buying the home. It was more than I expected from a home inspection. Karl Evans February 22, 2013 Peter is fantastic! The best home inspection service ever! Peter goes through everything with you and gives you a detailed, easy to read binder about your house when you are done, the best!!! Exceptional professional knowledge and service:) Marianne and Will February 19, 2013 Hi Peter, It was a pleasure working with you! I will definitely be referring my friends and family to you for their home inspections! Your professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge base was very impressive. We felt very comfortable with your assessment of our home. Thank you again! Allison and Nick B. February 7, 2013 We would highly recommend Hawkeye. It was a real pleasure working with Peter. As first time homebuyers, it was important for us to finish the inspection with confidence that the home we wanted was truly the right one for us and that was just what happened. The inspection was thorough and the follow-up report is a fantastic resource for now & the future. Thank you, Paula & Sean January 23, 2013 Report was incredibly helpful. Detailed & extensive. Experience was pleasant. Would recommend. Amanda & Paul Shrewsbury, MA January 13, 2013 My experience with Hawkeye Home Inspection was phenomenal. From the start of the inspection, I was included in every detail of the inspection — every concern or observation was articulated directly to me by the inspector in a manner that I could understand. At the end, I was provided a professional report that was extremely helpful in evaluating any home improvement that needed to handled prior to closing.

Peter Ottowitz was our inspector. He was very thorough, professional, and surprisingly entertaining - even showed up with cold waters, cookies, and chocolates. When an inspector is rifling through the home of your dreams, it can be nerve-racking as you hope they do not find anything majorly wrong with the property. But Peter was excellent in many ways - bringing humor and comfort into the inspection was a nice touch. After using one of the "larger corporations" for my last home inspection, I realize now just how thorough Peter was with our inspection. I would certainly use Hawkeye Home Inspections and recommend them to anyone buying a new home. Jay & Gina Newton January 1, 2013 Great thorough job! We are saving a significant amount of $$$ thanks to Peter. Gio and Florencia November 14, 2012 Unbelievably thorough and complete. Plus the snacks and sense of humor made the experience wonderful!! Eric and Angel, Arlington, MA November 5, 2012 Peter was awesome! He is obviously very experienced but he was also extremely personable and we really felt like we could trust his knowledge and expertise. If all your inspectors are like Peter, we would highly recommend Hawkeye to all our friends. J. Shen October 25, 2012 Please extend my sincere thank you to Bryan again .. he was terrific and I feel very comfortable now knowing so much about my proposed property. Doreen M. Thank you, Peter! We really enjoyed the home inspection, which was a happy surprise. We appreciated your sense of humor and the incredible amount of vital information you've provided. Gratefully, Laura October 24, 2012 Hi Peter, Thank you for your time yesterday. It was a pleasure working with you. We sincerely appreciate your professional inspection and candid advice. Thank you, Colin & Chrissi October 16, 2012 I really enjoyed meeting with Peter to discuss problems my house might have. Cheri W. October 15, 2012 I've had 3 home inspections over the past 4 months, all with different companies and Hawkeye was by far the best. Peter was very knowledgeable in all all aspects of the house as well as issuing a comprehensive report with pictures and all. He made the inspection a pleasure to deal with and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks a lot! -Mike- Milton, MA October 14, 2012 I had a fantastic experience with Peter from Hawkeye Home Inspections. I felt I learned so much about my new house. As a young single girl buying a property, I appreciated that he spoke to me as an equal and took the time to show me everything. Prior to getting to the house, I was dreading a 2.5 hour inspection. Once I got there it flew by and I was sad when it was over. I would highly recommend Peter and Hawkeye Home Inspections. -Kate September 24, 2012 “Thank you very much. We had a great experience with Hawkeye. We were purchasing an old house, so it was important that whomever we hired had experience with dealing with these types of homes. Our inspector, Peter, was very thorough in his inspection and knowledgeable about old homes. The diet coke, cookies, and chocolate were a nice touch as the sugar helped keep people (not that Peter needed any of it) focused, as we all know that inspections can take a while. Peter did an exceptional job explaining certain technical items in layman terms, so that we could understand what the potential short-term and long-term issues would be if we were to move forward with purchasing the house. Furthermore, he provided information on how to remedy certain issues before they would become much more costly. We will recommend Hawkeye and Peter in the future to friends that are looking for an inspection.” Best regards, Dana and Sangita September 10, 2012 "Excellent job. This was on a one year old property that we bought new. The inspection turned up some issues which the builder needs to address under the terms of the warranty. A bargain at the price!" Joan and Roland Morin September 10, 2012 "Very thorough and professional. Peter's sense of humor and his eye for detail made this a pleasant and productive experience." Manish and Roopali August 28, 2012 Hi Peter, Thanks so much for sending this (the Lowe's coupon) along. You have been wonderful to work with. I have a question for you: do you write all those motivators yourself? (Yes, we do.) I really enjoy them. I am also happy to refer you to anyone who is looking for your services and will do so every chance I get. Have a great day, Linda July 31, 2012 As a couple of Brits buying a first home in the USA it was great to be reassured by Peter's professionalism and humor. David and Debbie Smith July 29, 2012 Hello Peter, Thank you for the thorough report, you truly are an expert in what you do! We will reference this report for years to come as it provides us a fantastic breakdown of the inner and outer workings of the house. This is exactly what Susan needed to feel that she has control of every aspect of our new home. You have made the entire experience that much more pleasurable and fun. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you again! Mike & Susan of Hingham, MA June 18, 2012 I was referred to Peter Ottowitz of Hawkeye Home Inspection by my one of my co-workers and her husband who gave them rave reviews. When I scheduled an appointment with the company, I thought that I was going to have a "standard, run of the mill, home inspection" and didn't understand quite what my co-worker was so excited about. Peter was a delight to work with! He was refreshingly thorough, funny, and down to earth. Peter checked crawlspaces and areas of concern that I didn't even know existed and documented his findings with multiple reports (which included photographs) of follow-up items. Because of Peter, I truly feel like I am an educated home buyer. Peter was even so kind as to give me a framed picture of the house at the close of the inspection - my first one of the property. I cannot thank him enough! I have already referred him to several people and will continue to do so in the future. Marissa Holden, MA May 30, 2012 Hi Peter, Thank you so much for the summary report and additional emails! We really appreciate all of your help. Jean-Manuel and I were very impressed with your binder and insights. Regards, Christina and Jean-Manuel May 23, 2012 Thanks Peter. It was good to meet you. I really enjoyed your style and thoroughness. Tom May 7, 2012 Thanks a lot Peter for the outstanding job you and the apprentice did. Hakim April 24, 2012 We hired Peter to do our home inspection and he was the most thorough and meticulous home inspector we have ever used. Peter was very friendly and also welcoming to questions/concerns from our "know-it-all but extremely loving parents!" The detailed professionalism provided by Hawkeye gave us great comfort to move forward and purchase the house of our dreams. Thank you! -Jeff & Autumn! March 8, 2012 Hi Peter, You will definitely hear from me in the future, I enjoyed your wit and humor to relax these first time buyers but more than anything I liked your professionalism and comprehensive notebook for their record keeping as well as a thorough home inspection. Thank you again, Judi Leonard Keller Williams Realty 214 Quincy Ave. Braintree, MA 02184 February 17, 2012 Hi Peter, I am sending my sincerest thanks for making our recent home inspection so pleasant. With my husband still deployed, it was a daunting process for me to take on solo, but I immediately knew we were in good hands. Your thorough reporting made it easy for my husband to feel he saw exactly what you saw, even being so far away. I also love the framed house photo and thank you card--they are such personal and wonderful touches! You were fantastic to work with and I will certainly recommend Hawkeye to anyone in need of superb home inspection services. Thank you for making the process enjoyable! Sincerely, Nicole & Ben February 2, 2012 Peter! I am impressed! Would definitely recommend you. Liked your side kick too. You did a superb job! All the way down to the chocolates and follow-thru! Thanks, Therese Oliver Oliver Realty Associates Keller Williams Boston NW 978-369-5775 January 16, 2012 Peter, It was a pleasure meeting you and your apprentice at 20 Angelica Drive!

Bill Greenlaw November 14, 2011 Hey Peter, Thank you Peter! You totally know how to delight your customers! Please tell me where you’d like me to post a reference – if you have a facebook page or something like that? I’m not a “regular” for offering testimonials – but your service blew me away! Thanks for making a rather mundane task so interesting and fun! Sue LaChance November 8, 2011 Peter, I highly recommend you guys to everyone. Bryan has done an outstanding job on the last two inspections that he has done for me. His rapport with clients is to be admired. Regards, Ted Sullivan Prudential Prime Properties 2 South Bolton St. Marlborough, MA. 01752 508-341-3144 September 30, 2011 I just thought I would write to let you know how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your weekly motivators – they are awesome and RIGHT ON!!!

Be assured I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for an inspection. Best regards, Becky August 8, 2011 Thank you so much for your help. The home inspection went well. I learned a lot from Peter. He is such a funny guy, full of knowledge on home inspection. I wish that he could be my neighbor. Thank you again for all of your help. I might call e-mail for advice or suggestion in the future. Regards, Jennifer July 21, 2011 Peter, Thank you very much for your time and assistance today. It was truly a great experience. Steve Smutz July 8, 2011 Peter, The scope and quality of your services has far exceeded my expectations! Many thanks for accommodating our inspection, it is greatly appreciated. Your extensive feedback both during the inspection and in the materials provided thereafter has reinforced our decision to purchase the home. We have the P&S next week. Thanks again! Regards, Mike Balko July 2, 2011 I just wanted you to know that I purchased the home you inspected yesterday. Closing got delayed. You did an excellent job and I appreciate your work and the product (binder) you provided. David A. Collins June 6, 2011 I just wanted to let you know that we received our home inspection addendum. Our home inspector, Bryan Wilcox, answered all of our questions thoroughly and helped ease some of our fears in purchasing a 140 year old house. We would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a home inspection. Thanks again. Eric Linsner June 3, 2011 Hi Peter, I just wanted to take a second to let you know how impressed we were with Bryan Wilcox. He really turned a rather mundane process into a very informative positive experience. He really goes out of his way to make sure you understand every little aspect of the inspection and encouraged us to contact him at any time if we had any questions. This home is our first in what we hope to be a long line of investment properties and we look forward to working with all of you in the future. By the way, Susana was a great help in getting us going on the process. You have a wonderful team! Elizabeth Broskie June 1, 2011 Hi Peter, I wanted to thank you for working on the home inspection for me yesterday. It's clear you not only know your job, but also your business. You provided a nuanced evaluation of the condition of the home, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and provided helpful suggestions, all while putting me at ease with your friendly manner. The report and other materials in the binder are very helpful now, and I know will continue to be a reference for me in the years to come. I have the photo of the house on my desk at work to show off to people, and of course the chocolate didn't hurt either! You made what could have been a stressful process into a relaxed conversation as we explored my new home, and I greatly appreciate that. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone I know who is in the process of buying a house. Thank you again, Vickie May 15, 2011 Peter was exceptionally helpful during the process. He took the time to answer many general questions relating to the inspection of the home structure and equipment which I appreciated very much. His advice contributed to an overall better awareness as I move forward with buying this property. Kind Regards, Susan Boynton April 12, 2011 Just wanted to say what an excellent job Bryan did. He was on time, thorough, organized, good-natured, knowledgeable, and clear in his explanations. I had great confidence in him. He likes his work and does it well. I would recommend him to experienced and novice buyers. Elizabeth Eidlitz March 16, 2011 Dear Peter, My husband and I were so grateful to have your company and you as our home inspector. We appreciate the time you spent with us explaining every aspect of the home and inspection. Owning a home is a new experience to us and after meeting with you we feel much more educated and prepared for this new milestone in our life. Thank you again for your professionalism and informative inspection. We will definitely recommend your company to others in the future. Sincerely, Alyssa and Keith Lawrence February 18, 2011 This inspector(Peter Ottowitz) is the best around. My buyers are always satisfied with the results. The materials that he provides buyers are impressive. I highly recommend him. Best, Rosemary Sullivan, J.D. December 20, 2010 Peter, Thank you for meeting with us on Sunday and doing our Home Inspection. Tom was impressed with how thorough you were and we will recommend you in the future to others. Nancy Williams December 6, 2010 Peter did a fantastic home inspection for my clients who bought a beautiful home in Northbridge. He is always very thorough and has such a great personality. Peter makes a point of answering any and all questions from the buyer and his follow-up after the home inspection is just as impressive. I would (and do) recommend Peter to any of my clients without hesitation. Joyce Waterhouse Realty Executives Tri County 2009 Agent of the Year 508-345-2104 www.joycewaterhouserealtor.com December 5, 2010 “It was impressed with the level of professionalism and thoroughness that the Hawkeye representative displayed.

Carol Symonds June 1, 2010 I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with Peter as our inspector. He did a great job. We thought he was thorough and was more than willing to take the time to answer all of our questions. We would be happy to recommend him to anyone we know needing a home inspection. Thanks, Stacey May 24, 2010 Bryan was extremely professional and courteous. He was already at the property when we arrived and had been inspecting the exterior. What really pleased me about the inspection itself was how thorough he was. He didn't just focus on the bigger issues. He also pointed out small things that we could correct ourselves. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand without "dumbing it down". Overall, Bryan was a pleasure to work with. Peter Behravesh May 5, 2010 Hi Peter, Thanks for all of your help and knowledge with everything. Though we've only worked with a few home inspectors, you are definitely the best. We love our report complete with pictures, and will not hesitate to recommend you to others. Thanks again. Annemarie Hi, We would like to extend our appreciation for all the support you and your team has provided over the past few weeks in educating and advising us through our first home buying experience. We would recommend your team in a heartbeat. Thanks Lakshmi & Rama Peter, Thanks for all your hard work! I will, without a doubt, be recommending you to friends during their purchase process. Thanks! Mark Hi Peter: Jerry and I want to thank you so much for helping us understand what items are priority in fixing areas in and out side our home.

Thank you, Jerry and Deanna Peter – Thanks for, as always, taking such good care of my clients. You really are the best! I’m delighted to recommend you for my clients buying homes - you are thorough and thoughtful with your analysis of the properties. I’m also happy to be able to say I hired you to do an energy audit on my own home – the information was really valuable and I look forward to making the changes you and Bryan recommended. Oh, and it was actually a bonus that you found that weird chimney flashing leak – I may not have known about it until I had issues that would have been more difficult to address! Lauren T.

I greatly, greatly appreciate all of your help, knowledge, and patience with my and my family's extensive questions and poking and prodding during your extensive guided inspection of the house. Everything from the phone conversations I had with your business manager to your arriving early at the site, to your bringing water and cookies to keep us all happy - this was all wonderful. There was just a story in the paper about 'choosing the right home inspector,' and I'm glad I choose Hawkeye as the right one for me. :) I'm sure you have a million clients, but if I'd be happy to be a reference for anyone who wants to know more about your service. Thanks again, and Happy Holidays! Corey Cheng Hi Peter, Thank you for the great job you did with our home inspection. Janet did right in recommending you, and you were as prompt and thorough as she described. We appreciate not only your patience in answering all of our questions, and the detailed report with color photos supporting your findings, but also the extra guides to home maintenance you included which will help us keep our new home in tip top shape. You made the necessary chore of home inspection a pleasant experience, and we will be quick to recommend you and your company to others in need of a concise and professional home inspection. Take good care, Dave Parisi & Judi Monroe PS -- Thanks again for the apples and the pens! "The inspector Bryan Wilcox did a PERFECT job. He is experienced, professional, detailed, and patient. It was also helpful that he took pictures for every single place that needed my attention. He went over all the problems with me a second time by reviewing the pictures on site after the inspection was done. The pictures were given to me with a detailed report. Even my RE agent, who had worked with numerous inspectors, said to me after the inspection that he is "excellent, and very thorough". I HIGHLY recommend Bryan Wilcox, with Hawkeye Home Inspection (AKA All State Home Inspections). " Feedback from Service Magic customer Peter was phenomenal. As first time home buyers Stacey and I are learning a lot of things all at once. Peter was incredibly thorough and detailed while doing the home inspection and encouraged questions each step of the way. Not only did he answer each and every question asked, he went out of his way to explain what could be a potential problem and what course of action we may want to take. All of this was explained in laymen terms so we had a clear and complete mutual understanding. Did I mention he did all of this on a Saturday? In Hull? And he brought us cookies! We couldn't have asked more from Peter and it was truly a pleasure to meet him. Thanks again, Tim I really like Peter. I will only recommend an inspector I've worked with and I believe will provide my client with the best service. There is a reason he's always busy! Julie Duncan, RE/MAX Agent We had our home inspection last week with Peter Ottowitz. We cannot say enough positive things about the process and about Peter. The inspection was thorough and informative. Peter was such a pleasure to work with. He's a pro all the way! And the binder that we received the day of the inspection is such a great resource. I highly recommend Hawkeye and Peter in particular! Many thanks, Beverly and Max Klau Dear Peter and Bryan, Thank you so much for your work with us last weekend on our home inspection. Bryan was thorough, prompt (early, actually!), courteous and personable. We enjoyed the experience and we feel like we now know our new home very well. We would definitely recommend Hawkeye. In fact, we already have. Another family-friend just had an offer accepted and we suggested they call you. Best, Alison My experience was entirely positive. Bryan was professional, thorough, and truly gave me the impression that he was interested in my full satisfaction with the inspection. My realtor, also pointed out that this was the best home inspection she has ever seen. Thank you and keep up the amazing work! Tomas Dear Peter, We are thoroughly satisfied with the home inspection services you provided. Your professionalism and attention to detail was truly appreciated. We now feel confident about buying the property and know that we will not have any "surprises" when we move in. In addition, your cheerful personality made this process enjoyable and much less stressful! The reports were thorough, easy to follow, and were received in a very timely fashion! Thank you so much! Gabriela and Tony Hi Peter - It was a pleasure meeting you as well! You were so great - being a first time home buyer is exciting but also nerve wracking & a bit scary but you made the inspection process so comfortable and easy. I truly appreciate you sharing your expertise & time with us today - you uncovered some very important information for us to consider in order to move forward... I can see why you come so highly recommended :-) Take care! - Montana Peter, Our home inspection was our first and even though it took a while, Bryan was very thorough, polite, and informative. He answered all of our questions and told us things to keep an eye on and replace. We were very comfortable with him, and I would definitely recommend you guys to anyone. Thanks for everything. Seth Hi Peter, We wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with the inspection and your professionalism. The report was great. The the information with the corresponding pictures are very helpful. The inspection and report were very thorough and detailed. Thank you for all your assistance. Patrick Dear Peter, I was completely satisfied with the home inspection. I felt you did a thorough and very detailed inspection, top to bottom. I also enjoyed meeting you and appreciate all the advice you gave me. Bernadine Peter, It was a pleasure meeting and working with you on the inspection of our future home. This is my third home purchase and each one has been larger and older. The chance for unforeseen issues has grown each time. I am confident that with the knowledge and level of professionalism you bring to the job that I will not experience any surprises. You came prepared, were punctual, if you consider 45 minutes early as punctual and spent a casual afternoon making sure every question I had was answered and documented in the most professional looking brochure prepared just for our home. The digital photos of every safety, security, and construction issue will be helpful as I work on this next project home. I will most definitely be passing your card around and if you ever need a referral yourself please feel free to use myself. Best Regards, Rob Saulnier Dear Peter, It was my pleasure to work with you. You are so awesome and enjoyable to talk to and work with. You are one of the nicest people that I have ever met. Hope we will see you again! Thank you very much for your report. Take care, Tina Dear Peter, Just wanted to let you know how impressed we are with the report. The pictures are so helpful, so helpful. Even Loraine commented on this being one of the best home inspection reports she has seen. Apparently the digital camera has not made its way into other reports so kudos to you. We are meeting with the electrician today at 9am so we will see what he says for prices etc. Thanks again, Carla DeLellis Peter, Thanks for your patience today during the interruptions. You were a joy to work with. It would be my pleasure to recommend you to anybody requiring inspection services in the future. Thanks again, John H. Diefenbach Hi Peter, I'm Matt's fiancée, the buyer on 288 Sugar Road. Matt sent along your report, and I just wanted to thank you for being so thorough! That report is really impressive, and I appreciate you taking the time to send it to us so quickly... Thanks! Erica I have a high regard for the professionalism that Peter Ottowitz has given to my Buyer Clients during the home inspection process. Buyers feel that they have been treated with honesty, received a thorough feedback of their prospective purchase in regard to home systems, upkeep, preventive maintenance, and future expectations. Peter informs rather than alarms, highlights safety issues and puts other "issues" into their proper perspective. Clients are appreciative of the 2 reports created by Peter; one being a narrative and the second complete with photographs taken on site during the inspection. As a Buyer's Agent, I feel that I can negotiate on behalf of my client in an informed and knowledgable fashion after a home inspection with Peter Ottowitz. I would give Peter my highest recommendation!!! Kind regards, Judy Yauckoes Thanks Peter. I can see why Joanne recommended you. Please let me know if the final report that you email to me bounces back to you. My account should be able to handle it. Cheers, Nori Kawahata Noriyuki H Kawahata Hi Peter, Thank you very much for sending this narrative along to me. Tammy and I really appreciated you and your son's work. Your attention to detail and organization are very impressive and we thank you for inspecting the house. We will definitely pass your name along if friends or family are looking to have an inspection. Regards, Scott Borowick Thanks again, Peter! Your inspection was very helpful and it was a pleasure working with you. If you ever need a business reference, please feel free to add me to the top of your list. Matt Greany Hi Peter, Thanks very kindly for your nice note and thorough inspection of our home earlier this week. It was a pleasure meeting you. Suzanne has a knack for surrounding herself with nice people--you're no exception. In the course of writing your report, please let me know if I can answer any questions or clarify any ambiguities about our "palatial estate" on 24 Mohawk Rd! Take care, have fun and enjoy the rest of 2005. Best regards, Mark Gerstel Dear Peter, Thank you so much for coming-out to inspect our prospective new home! It was a pleasure to meet you. While I didn't get to follow along with the inspection, the incredibly detailed reports you have supplied us both in hard copy and via email have more than explained all of the housing issues. We are extremely satisfied with your outstanding work and will make sure to recommend you whenever possible. Thanks again and we will let you know about the final outcome of the sale! Sincerely, Susan Alto Hi Peter, Thank you very much. Your analysis was outstanding. All of my friends were very impressed with the inspection document you sent me and I gave them your name/number in case they need one in the future. I have a quick question. You mentioned in your report that the front faucet didn't work. I asked the owner about that and they said " front faucet has been permanently disabled because of frozen pipes in the past". Do you know roughly how much it would cost to fix something like that? This is also the same wall in which the electric outlet was not working (in the garage). Maybe the two are correlated? Thanks for your time and help. Regards, Eddie Lee Peter, Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job- we now have so much valuable info. about the house. We also ended up getting some $$ from Stan to help pay for a new water heater, thanks to you!! :) We got your card in the mail today (I have been to Peru and loved the picture!)- we will definitely be recommending you to everyone we know. Take care, Korey and Ed Barkley Thank you Peter. I got the card you mailed me! It was a pleasure working with you as well! I will absolutely refer you to anyone I know buying a house! Thanks Again! Bethany My wife and I were very pleased with how Peter handled himself throughout the home inspection. He was there 1 hour before the scheduled appointment to review the property and take pictures. During the inspection he explained every detail to us that was a concern. He is one Home inspector that you know by meeting him that loves his job and puts 100% dedication into work for you.
