Testimonials

Each time my clients choose Tim Hance of All Islands Home Inspections I have confidence knowing they are getting the most comprehensive, detailed inspection available. Tim brings many skills to the table; one that stands out for me is his ability to communicate respectfully and professionally with both buyers and sellers. He is timely and produces a detailed report that is exceptional. I recommend Tim to my buyers; I also refer him to sellers for a pre-listing inspection/report.

Gwyneth BurrillWindermere Real Estate

Tim carried out a thorough, professional inspection and provided a superb written report with photos of all points that needed repairs or improvements. A careful walk-through gave us a solid understanding of how the house functions. And his help didn’t stop there; shortly after the second-day walk-through and review he sent us information on how to make several improvements to the property.

Tim’s report was extremely thorough & comprehensive. His findings were presented in an organized, easy to understand manner, with clearly defined recommendations. Most importantly, Tim’s availability to answer our questions was invaluable in our decision to proceed with this purchase. We would highly recommend Tim and will certainly use him again in the future.

Tim of All Islands Home Inspections is a pleasure to work with. He is prompt, courteous and service oriented, a true professional. I will continue to place Tim’s service at the top of my list.

Tim, we simply cannot express how pleased we are with your home inspection. We have never experienced such thorough and complete service before. The personal time you spent explaining each detail of the report was very reassuring. We move into our new home with an in depth understanding of its idiosyncrasies and inner workings. More importantly, we have a sense of safety that we cannot place a value on. Thank you!

Evan & Valerie BuxbaumOrcas Island, WA

I have used Tim Hance at All Islands Home Inspections on two real estate transactions in the past year and found his inspections to be thorough and well documented. He responded quickly to all phone calls and completed the inspections in a timely manner, even on property on a non-ferry served island. I found him energetic, competent and the buyers were impressed with his presentation. I would not hesitate to recommend All Islands Home Inspections in the future.

Tim, thank you so much for the great job on our home inspection. You are the perfect person to be a Home Inspector, because you have personally done contracting not just overseeing but actually doing the remodeling yourself. You know what to look for, what is important and what is not. We have never had a home inspection that comes close to the service you offered us. The report was very well organized, extremely thorough, and you never tired of my endless questions. You offer a terrific service, if we ever purchase a home again in the area, you will be our inspector.

Jo Ann & John ScogginAlta, WY

I have been involved with real estate on Orcas Island for 21 years. I am delighted to find that your work ethics and thoroughness exceeds past experiences with inspectors, as well as surpassing my expectations. I have had both personal and professional experience with your work and have never had to think about how my clients will be treated, or have to second guess the report that you deliver on schedule. I also know you will give recommendations that will save the owner/client money in the long run. I do not hesitate to recommend your services.

Teri WilliamsT. Williams Realty

Thank you again for your home inspection of our second property, which you did in our absence. We hired you on a tip from our real estate agent. We were extremely satisfied with your performance. You told us on the phone that the inspection would take 2 to 3 hours. We have parted from the house some 6 hours later at no extra charge. You patiently explained and answered every question we had. You crawled to all out of sight places, walked on steep roof, removed furniture and stored items of renters to see it all. You took dozens of close up photos. Your amazingly thorough report was over 30 pages long. Unfortunately seller, days before closing escrow, decided to be foreclosed on. We had to hire you again, in our absence, for our second choice of vacation home on Orcas Island. You performed that inspection on your own, just with keys borrowed from listing agent. We now have both the electronic and hard copy!

Let us tell you, you have not cut any corners. This second inspection of our pro… Read more

Wow, I cannot recommend All Islands Home Inspections enough. As a first time home buyer, moving across the country, and... trying to do so in a short time frame, I was set up to have a rough time making sure everything was as I expected it to be.

Even better, I had the inspection the following day, allowing me to make an informed decision on the purchase of the home. Unfortunately, we backed out of the contract, but it was Tim who gave us the information we needed to avoid a money pit.
