As a San Francisco realtor for the past 32 years I have reviewed and attended hundreds of inspections. In today's world where so much gets lost in translation, I use and recommend JOC often because their reports are easy to read and have photos that refer to the "issues" which is so important as most buyers are not "construction" savvy. Additionally if I have buyers that I am representing on a property, even if I was not the one to pay for the inspection (seller did), the inspector is always available to have a 10-15 minute conversation to clarify questions a buyer has. To me, that is above and beyond. I don't want to say too many great things about them because I want them to be available when I need them ;). read more

My client scheduled and paid for the inspection appointment. The inspector & owner Jason was a no show. When I reached out to the office they said they're only able to help with scheduling and ultimately they were not able to reach him. He eventually texted me saying he thought it would be okay to sneak in a different appointment during my slot. And then he never responded again. I asked for a refund and a cancellation and the "office" said they only do scheduling as that is all they are contracted to do. The inspector did not respond to my request to issue a refund. My client will have to take up with the credit card company to reverse this fraudulent charge. If you dont want to pay for an inspection only to have the inspector not show up even though he took your money and confirmed the time- start with someone else. read more

I was under contract for a house and needed an inspection quickly while still in my very short contingency period. I got a recommendation for JOC Property Inspections from a friend-of-a-friend. They fit me into their calendar on short notice, even though the property was technically outside their usual service area (East Bay). Ben from JOC showed up early, and was professional, thorough, and efficient. He got the report out to me and my agent the same day as the inspection. read more

As a first time home buyer, Blaine was wonderful to work with. Not only are his reports easy to read with pictures and clear and plain language, the report also highlighted things that need to be done, should be done, and could be done. Very knowledgeable, thorough, and detailed. Also, so polite and patient with my many questions during the property inspection! May I never need another property inspection, but if I do, I am definitely working with JOC Property Inspections ! read more

professional, completed the job on-time friendly courteous would hire him again in a second

I've worked with Blaine on two inspections as a buyer. He is very professional, thorough, and his reports are clear and easy to read. Grateful to have had his support on a major decision. read more

Been using Jason and his team since the very beginning. He and his guys are very attentive and care about giving you good information. Their written reports are fantastic and easy to navigate - he color codes the issues so you know what needs immediate attention and what might be something to watch. SF houses are all older for the most part so one thing I really appreciate about Jason and his team is that they put the findings into context for SF. They are able to drone over steep and inaccessible roof areas that other inspectors will leave out of reports. I think they go the extra to make a complete report. I am a listing agent and a buyer's agent, I trust his reports and my clients prefer their format to other inspector's reports, they are much easier to read. Two thumbs up on these guys. read more

Jason is knowledgeable, easy to schedule and a nice guy to work with. His reports are easy to read too.

Jason just did an inspection for us in San Francisco. Jason is incredibly professional and a joy to work with. His report is astonishingly thorough and comprehensive. The layout and format are beautiful and easy to read. agree with a previous reviewer that this report is going to be our user manual for the house in the years to come. Jason is also very knowledgeable about all aspect of the house. Not just what needs fixing but also what we could do to avoid future repairs; what particular building detail is beneficial to the house' longevity that we should retain. We learned a lot from Jason during the inspection and also from his report. It is a treat to work with someone who loves their job so much. Jason and JOC were also very responsive throughout the before and after of the inspection. Highly recommend! read more

Cannot recommend this place enough as a homeowner. I've had multiple interactions with JOC and one thing that sets them apart is just the pure enthusiasm for inspecting and understanding homes (almost think they'd enjoy doing this stuff even without the job). I'm frankly surprised they don't have even more reviews! I worked with Blaine on several properties and he truly loves picking homes apart. There's a couple things that I believe that make JOC great: 1. They are easy to book and flexible. Their scheduler is quite responsive and they can work with you to make your timelines work. 2. They are detailed. Blaine spends the extra time to really reach deep into each home as much as he can. This means crawling into small attics, getting on the roof, etc. 3. Their reports are fast and detailed. They can work with you to get your report ASAP. The reports have detailed pictures and comments on what needs to be fixed. read more

Jason and Blaine are well respected inspectors in the real estate industry. I trust them to prepare complete inspections on time and with a good customer facing manner. They break down complicated things well for consumers. Additionally they use a drone to get on roofs or tricky spaces. I have been an agent for 19 years and have attended hundreds of inspections. I think they are top notch. read more

Jason of JOC Property Inspections inspected the condo we purchased. He produced a very thorough report, and also took the time to walk through the entire report with us and help us better understand everything. His insights gave us the ability to prioritize repairs to the home. He was helpful, responsive, and professional in all respects. Would highly recommend! read more

Our JOC inspection before buying our house in October was professional and thorough! I could tell they knew what they were talking about, and appreciated him taking the time to explain things to me as he walked through to look at things. Definitely worthwhile to get this peace of mind, knowing that our investment into a home wasn't looking like a lemon. Would recommend. read more

Outstanding reports and quality service every single time! Qualified and thorough examinations that are carefully explained and easy to understand. Great photos too! I rely on Jason to provide prospective buyers what they need to know about a property and how to plan for and prioritize what is most needed. read more

I have been using Jason since he began doing inspections in SF. I continue to recommend him to my esteemed colleagues. His reports are easy to read and understand and include pictures to explain items of concern. My buyers have found this format comfortable to follow and helpful for their understanding of issues with a potential purchase. He is reasonable and approachable. He is so accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Lisa C. read more

JOC is the best! Very professional and courteous. I like the clean, easy to read format of their reports. Carrie Goodman | Realtor

Jason did our inspection on a home in San Francisco we recently purchased. His reports are amazing - so clear on what the main concerns vs things to watch which was super helpful as a first time home owner. He even spent time to walk us through the house with the report after we closed so we could better understand our home. Closest thing to a user manual for our new house we could get! Lovely to work with. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Jason is a fantastic home inspector, and my go-to. He has great personal and communication skills, and somehow still has decent availability (and the booking process is pretty simple, too). There are never any surprises or mix-ups when working with Jason. He always shows up, is always on time, and delivers easy-to-read, thorough reports within a couple of days. He's also really good if you want him to walk through with clients (buyers or sellers), and does an excellent job explaining his findings. Love the ability to pay online as well - a very easy process! read more

As a real estate agent, property inspections are a big part of the sales process. Jason provides a very comprehensive and easy to read report . He makes himself available for questions, is timely, dependable and knowledgeable. He has become my top choice for home inspections. I highly recommend Jason and his team at JOC Inspections! read more

Jason O'Connor with JOC Property Inspections has been inspecting my listings for several years and I am very happy with his thorough, careful examination of everything in the home. It's really important to have a comprehensive inspection in order to avoid complaints after the sale and I feel better and can sleep well at night knowing that the buyer will always be well informed about their purchase if the sale is supported by a JOC inspection report. Jason takes a lot of photos that clearly display the areas of concern and he is smart about getting access, figuring out ways to get into an attic or onto a roof where other inspectors might have given up. When sellers are present for these inspections, he is calm and respectful and when buyers are present, he has answered everyone's questions in a straightforward way - not patronizing or rushed - so that everyone gets the information they need to make the best decision for them. He has been available to follow up if there were questions about a specific part of the home after doing the report and he has always been punctual and reliable. Strongly recommend! read more
