Mr. Chris Brown did an exceptional job. I was purchasing a home and was advised to use Home Pro by the manager of my mortgage department at Community First Credit Union. I am happy I did! Mr. Brown did a very, very good job. He looked at the house from every angle, left no stone unturned. I will always use Home Pro for future needs and will recommend everyone I know to do the same!

My client loved Chris' thorough exam...I appreciate him taking his time with her. Thanks a bunch! Rating: 5 (March 2008)
- Deanna Burrough, Keller Williams Realty

My customer has told me several times how happy he was with the 5 Star Inspection™ that Chris Brown performed for him. The house was recently renovated and appeared to be in great shape, but Chris' thorough inspection uncovered some serious issues that we were able to address with the seller prior to closing. Thanks Chris! Rating: 5 (March 2008)

- Mary Jane McKissick, Homeowner

Chris, thanks to YOU for a superb inspection. We're getting the pool looked at today. I know I said this several times, but I REALLY appreciate your thoroughness, your expertise and your ability to communicate not only what the notable issues are, but how best to handle them once we own the home. Thanks also for being patient while I asked some non-inspection questions about things we might want to change or remodel (light box in kitchen, powder room, etc.). It was a pleasure to work with a true "home pro!" Nice license plate too - you've earned that one! (April 2007)
- Erin and Allen Shirley, Homeowners

We received your report in the mail and we must tell you in all our years of transferring around the US and buying homes, never has a company given such a fantastic detailed report. Your company has gone above and beyond any prospective buyers dream. Our hats off to you for an outstanding job! I wrote to our Realtor, Anita Cooper and told her what a fantastic job you did and thanked her for recommending you. Anita and her team are on the same level of competence and professionalism as your company, you make a great team. We feel very lucky to have worked with both of you. (June 2006)
- Mike and Joan Grillaert, Homeowners

Thanks for everything you did to help me buy my home. You have to be one of the top inspectors in Florida! (February 2006)
- Richie Smith, Homeowner

We had Chris for the initial two inspections (on our new construction home). Chris was detailed and thorough and my builder's agent was impressed at how detailed his comments were. Thank you, Chris for putting us at ease and seeing us through the first two stages.
- CJ, Homeowner

I'm so glad I called HomePro. My realtor suggested Chris and he was very informative. Usually they don't explain things in detail to women. But, I can't think of enough great things to say! Thanks Chris.
- Lisa Johns, Homeowner

Chris - I have had such a wonderful experience working with you and HomePro, I just wanted to thank you...you're brilliant!
- Anne Key, Homeowner

Thank you again... I really appreciate your efforts in working with me and [the homeowner]. In our line of work we come across all types of folks. Some have proven themselves to be very difficult.

Your represent yourself and your company very well!
- Kendra Allsup, Prudential Network Realty

Chris - Thank you very much for taking the time to call me back and talk about our home cracks. I appreciated your advice and your willingness to let us impose on your expertise on occasion. If you're ever in the area and would like to see the "after" of one of your inspected homes, please feel free to drop by…

Very informative and thorough. I especially enjoyed the little extra touches from the popped popcorn to test the microwave to the instant color printouts received at the inspection. Thanks again. Rating: 5 (April 2008)

Chris Brown was very professional and helpful. He appeared to really know home construction and conducted a very thorough inspection. I was pleased with the scope and format of the final report and the speed at which it was issued. Should I need a home inspection in the future, I would definitely contract for Mr. Brown's services and recommend him to other home buyers. Rating: 5 Stars (December 2009)

We had Chris inspect our house 10 years ago and remembered what a great job he did. When we bought our new house I "googled" him and was happy to see he was still working with HomePro. We asked him to inspect our new house and he did a great job! Rating: 5 Stars (January 2009)

This company and inspector were highly recommended to me from a friend that used them. I was very impressed and for someone who is a first time home buyer and was by myself, Chris explained everything and answered all my questions. Thank You Home Pro and Thank You Chris! Rating: 5 Stars (December 2008)
- Stefanie Leehan, Homeowner

I recently purchased a house and after soliciting estimates for an inspection, I selected HomePro and was assigned inspector Chris Brown. Although there were numerous hurdles and road blocks along the way, the professionalism of Mr. Brown and the quality of the inspection (and re-inspection) was outstanding. The addition of the infrared scan and warranty made HomePro a spectacular value. Thank you for providing a quality product with no hassles. I must also add that Amie was also very helpful in setting up the inspections and providing the proper forms. (November 2008)

- Durell Smith, Homeowner

Chris always does an excellent job, especially with the old homes in the historic neighborhoods. Recommend to absolutely everyone. Rating: 5 Stars (October 2008)
- Vickie Douglas, Watson Realty Corp.

Chris was extremely informative and personable and he did a very thorough inspection. He inspected a home that I recently bought as a short sale and was in serious need of rehabbing. My first inclination was to not have the inspection because it looked as if pretty much everything had to be repaired anyway. Instinct prevailed and I had the inspection done anyway. It has literally saved me thousands of dollars as it turned out the home wasn't in near as bad a shape as I had thought (roof, flooring, wiring, plumbing). Thanks for your service. I will definitely be using you guys on my next purchase/sale. Rating: 5 (September 2008)
- Dave C., Homeowner/Investor

Could not believe how quick he was able to go and perform service and then the same night gave me the inspection report. Will always use HomePro! Rating: 5 (September 2008)
- Margaret Hoyle, Homeowner

Chris did a thorough and excellent job as always. This was a short sale that had been vacant for quite a while. My customer is as satisfied as I am. Rating: 5 (August 2008)

Chris was very thorough and took time to explain what he was finding during the inspection process. He also provided a good summary of findings at the end. His work made it very easy for me to comprise a list of repairs that the home owner would need to address before closing. Rating: 5 (May 2008)
- Dan Merkan, Homeowner

When I called to make this appointment it was suggested that we use Chris because of his knowledge and experience with old homes. This proved to be of great benefit. THANKS! Rating: 5 (May 2008)

Mr. Brown was on time and ready to begin the inspection. He did a very thorough job and made his findings very understandable. The report is invaluable. This is a company that promises excellence and delivers it--on time! Rating: 5 (May 2008)
- Paula Davis, Homeowner

Chris has doing all my inspections for several years and I always know my buyers are getting the best! Rating: 5 (April 2008)
- Carl J. Geyer, Vanguard GMAC Real Estate

Very extensive, professional and courteous. Chris took the time to show me in, on under, and around my house. I only wish we had used your service before we purchased our house 2-1/2 years ago because I'm sure the wood rot Chris discovered under the main bath and other areas of the house would have necessitated the previous owners to correct the problems instead of me having to make the repairs now. My spouse and I have learned an expensive lesson when it comes to choosing the right home inspection service. We had to come out of pocket to make the necessary repairs because the insurance company would not cover long term wood rot only immediate water damage. Thank you again Chris for your outstanding dedication to your trade. Rating: 5 (April 2008)
