No Mr. Occhino, I am neither a real estate agent nor a person who is angry that your inspection…read moreturned up problems in their home. A disgruntled person who lost money due to one of your reports would be a convenient explanation for my review of you. That is not the case here. I wrote my review as a public service to others. By the way, if this negative review of you should be ignored because the person writing it is not a verifiable client of yours, who is to say the people with names like Regular J. and Mh M were your actual clients writing honest reviews? One reviewer said you gave them names of contractors to contact which seems unethical if you are the one telling them they need to fix something. It is obvious from your response you were not an English teacher. Your "poor me" tirade is littered with misspellings and run-on sentences. Also, it is "due diligence," not "due-diligent" and the phrase is not hyphenated. Since you are so fond of seminars, perhaps you should take a couple on grammar and punctuation so the reports you generate will be readable. There are no nefarious reasons for the review I gave and your attempt to try to tie it to phantom people out there who lost money and have an axe to grind is laughable. If you feel I was wrong in the way I evaluated your lack of skills, you were certainly free to correct the record with your response. You did not even attempt to refute what I said about your paper thin credentials. Instead, you rambled on about people's rights and then you just reiterated what I had said about the importance of hiring a qualified inspector when purchasing a house. Being a licensed inspector does not automatically make you a qualified inspector. There is a very distinct difference. There are many good inspectors out there that know their stuff. You are just not one of them. You obtained a license to be an inspector by listening to online seminars and it is really a shame that both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island set such a low bar for issuing home inspector licenses to people like you. It allows you and others to hold yourselves out to the public as experts, qualified to render opinions about all the important systems of a home. You just do not have the kind of experience you should have under your belt to be giving people such vital advice. You might be a very convincing and affable person but you are essentially a hack. When people hire a home inspector before making a home purchase, they should be getting opinions from real professionals who have a history in the building industry. They should not be getting half baked advice from a former math teacher who may have tinkered around his own house for years applying band aids to his pipes and electrical wires and who now thinks he's an expert. Simply put, you should be required to have years of experience in the building industry before you are issued a building inspector's license. It would be prudent for MA and RI to beef up their requirements for home inspectors so people like Mr. Occhino are not allowed to take a couple of online seminars, pass a test, pay a fee, put up a fancy website touting their skills, and hold themselves out to the public as experts in everything from building integrity to plumbing and electrical wiring when they have never worked in that field. They also get to charge exorbitant fees that are not commensurate with their knowledge. In this case, you certainly do not get what you pay for. Anyone who thinks an online seminar can replace years of hands-on experience in the building industry is a fool. Mr. Occhino's decades spent in the high school math department falls far short of the requirements needed for professions like pipe engineer, master builders, electricians, and plumbers. Even general construction workers most likely have more knowledge than Guy Occhino because they are actually building the houses Occhino is supposedly qualified to inspect. Anyone deciding to buy a house or to not buy a house based on Mr. Occhino's advice should think twice. Or better yet, just hire a home inspector with the right credentials to truly inspect and evaluate your property. You are not going to class to listen to a former high school teacher educating you about a thermostat, you are buying a house. Dispense with Mr. Occhino's 4 or 5 hours of fluff and nonsense and hire an inspector who can determine whether or not the house you are about to buy is a sound investment.

As first time homebuyers that have spent a year looking for an antique home we have experienced a…read morelot of ups and downs. Our experience with Tom and April was one of the major ups! They were on the scene within a few days of our offer being accepted on a home built in 1815. We were a little nervous and did not know what to expect. Tom's experience, know-how and ability to communicate and educate left us with a confident feeling that we were doing the right thing. He explained everything so that we could know what needed attention first and what was not a 'huge deal'. He was extremely thorough and seemed like he had seen everything before, whether as an inspector or a builder himself. With everything in this world having an exorbitant cost right now, this was an absolute value in all respects, we spent 3 hours on site with them before they started shooting videos and taking pics of items in the report. Our realtor found us a true gem in Tom and April, Sound Home Inspections comes with the highest of recommendations.

Essentially that it should look like a finished ceiling so my daughter reached back out to him to ask if he could be more specific about the ceiling material and could he put it in the report then he called her and she was in a meeting using her phone and asked me if I could call him which I did and I explained that you know no thanks for the super quick report thanks for really coming bye thanks for being super nice but you didn't mention about the ceiling material which is what I asked specifically from your father and he said that he wasn't qualified to do that and I thought that was pretty disappointing because that's what I was paying somebody to do since I'm not qualified either.
