The bullet: Green Mountain Property Inspections makes your property purchase its priority, both in…read moreaction and in education.
The long version: I have dealt with numerous property inspectors, both as a customer and as an attorney counseling my clients, in decades of practice. Many offer detailed inspection reports, others offer convenient service and timely performance, and others still offer to guide the prospective buyer through the property to educate them. Few offer to do all of these while also communicating effectively and clearly. Lucian Benway of Green Mountain Property Inspections is one of these rare inspectors.
Lucian's inspection process is equal to those of inspectors with decades of experience: Start with the critical infrastructure (heating, electrical, etc.), directly inspect the interior and exterior of the entire property, or (as with rooftops) with a drone, and outline any concerns along the way with the customer. Lucian takes copious notes, photographs, and video, all of which he uses to great effect when he tenders his final report. This report is more than a summary of the property, it is an itemized guide for repairs and improvements in both the short and long term; Lucian understands that a property purchase may require tolerating some issues, but you may still wish to address them in the future.
Beyond his competence and communication, Lucian is a professional: On a recent transaction Lucian gracefully handled a last minute cancellation due to missteps by the listing agent. He could have complained about the disruption to his schedule, and he could have billed the client for the cancelled inspection, Instead, he waived any fee and committed to a new inspection date with no issue.
For all of this, I refer my real estate clients to Lucian without reservation or hesitation, and you should, too.
