Usually I am not a person to write reviews on YELP. But in Active home inspections case couldn't hold off myself with out writing any reviews about Robert and his exceptional help !! I have a rental pt in Santafe and live in other state.Recently we had some carpet installation scheduled this week.After installation team came, they removed the carpet little bit and in the middle they stopped the work after 10 min of job due to some inspection questions raised.With out the report being submitted they cannot proceed with carpet installation. Being in other state it made me so difficult as renters also having difficult. I went in yelp and searched all reviews and called Robert about my situation his help was exceptional and made my work done in a day and with the home inspection report also . Cannot tell enough thanks to him about his all help . Staying in other state and taking care of rental pt belongs to me in other state was not easy especially when it comes to these inspections. Robert made it as easy as I could think off . Thanks Robert !! I could recommend to anyone !! read more

Robert Willis (ActiveHome Inspections) did a terrific job with a recent inspection of a home we are currently purchasing. He and his assistant Francisco Huerta conducted a thorough inspection and we were able to have the sellers correct an issue as a result of his inspection. He also came back and re-inspected the issue once it was corrected. While I cannot speak to other inspectors in the area, I do agree with the post by Web Of K, in that inspectors may be aligned with real estate agencies and realtors. In my case the sellers agent did everything she could to persuade us to select one of the inspectors her real estate office was recommending, rather than ActiveHome. She even went so far as to delay the inspection on the day it was scheduled, and take one last desperate chance to get us to change our mind. This occurred while Robert was at the site ready to conduct the inspection. Very unprofessional of the agent and more than likely unethical. Luckily we stuck with Active Home and were glad we did. read more

We recently had a difficult closing and ActiveHome Inspections saved us a bundle of money and future headaches, if we would have hired another inspector recommended by our broker. Mr. Willis is professional, trained as an architect and conscientious. He found several defects that were not discussed in the disclosure documents. There was a serious defect with the mechanical system that could have potentially caused carbon monoxide poisoning. I believe no one else would have found this flaw because the contractor we hired concurred with Mr. Willis' report, fixed the problem and his services were deducted from the final purchase price. Therefore, an inspector can make the difference, save you money and give you peace of mind with your most important decision and, ActiveHome Inspections is the difference that I'm recommending. Most sincerely, Kathleen read more

Robert Willis (Active Home Inspections) is 5 stars all the way around. Don't waste your time with other Home Inspector Companies that don't even take the time to call you back. Robert was the only one that called us back. He is very dependable, honest, helpful and has integrity. He takes his time with you, knows what he's doing, and is professional. His company offers very detailed reports at very reasonable rates. He has a vast knowledge of building and architecture skills. Robert is a gem in our Northern New Mexico community because he works on behalf of his customers, he is unbiased and calls things as he sees them. We are extremely pleased with his services and would use his services again, and we will not hesitate to recommend his services to others. Thank you Robert and Active Home Inspections for being there when we needed you. Jerry R. read more

I have purchased and sold several houses. Competent inspections are a must. Robert conducted two inspections for me over the past few months. He is, by far, the most competent and thorough inspector I have worked with. In the case of his first inspection for me, I was 99% sure I wanted a particular cabin, until Robert provided a very extensive inspection that identified about 40 problems. Some of these problems were insurmountable and I did not complete the purchase. Robert kept me from making a very big mistake. His second inspection was also very thorough, even though it is a new house! I cannot imagine any problem escaping Robert's attention. I strongly recommend ActiveHome Inspections without qualification. read more

Robert and his team performed asbestos abatement services at an older home I purchased. He came and inspected the property promptly, identified the problem areas and tested. He sent copies of the lab tests and explained the results clearly, including the required clean up and removal process. All the the work was completed quickly and cleanly. Re-testing assured the property was clear and safe. The best part of the entire process was Robert and his folks did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they would do it, and were finished on time. No extra charges, no extra time. The work was excellent. I recommend them highly. - Cynthia W. read more

ActiveHome did a fabulous job inspecting the home we are about to purchase (thanks to them!). Once hired, Robert and his team were inspecting in a matter of days. That was extremely helpful as we were under certain time constraints due to the Seller's requirements. Not only was the report detailed and understandable, Robert was always available to discuss certain issues that were found and to help explain those issues to the Sellers. He worked diligently with us and our broker and made us feel confident that the house was in very good order. I would recommend him highly to anyone purchasing a house in Santa Fe. read more

The only trusted home inspector in Santa Fe. Be very wary of housing inspectors in Santa Fe as they are tightly aligned with SF real estate agencies and realtors. Robert is one of the few, if not only, independent housing inspector in the area. He performed a wonderful housing inspection and revealed potentially serious issues with the home that were not disclosed by the seller. Needless to say, Robert's background as an architect in the area equips him with a unique understanding of how homes in this area were built, deteriorate, and were remodeled. Highly recommend his services. read more

Robert is great. He fit us into his schedule with just a few days notice, and did a thorough job with the inspection. We received the report promptly, and it was comprehensive and easy to read. Robert also called to follow up and go over it, made sure he answered any questions we had, and gave us thoughtful advice on how to approach repairs. Also important: he seems to really love what he does and he's a heck of a nice guy, so we really enjoyed working with him. read more

I appreciate Robert's extensive knowledge of the various types of building and construction methods we see in Santa Fe. It's great to work with someone who understands radon and radon mitigation techniques that are effective in this unique market and who can pass that often confusing information on to home buyers, making my job as a radon mitigation professional much easier. Keep up the good work! Paul Smith, Owner Radon Pro of New Mexico, LLC read more

We did not know what to expect and took a risk in using Robert, as we based our decision on a brief phone interview. That gamble paid off: Not only was he extremely professional and thorough, he was mindful of our time pressures re the inspection dates, and he went the extra mile to make sure all the details were complete. It was a great experience -- by far the most straightforward aspect to our home purchase. Definitely recommend. read more
