Home Inspections By Russell Davis

If you’re new to Unilocal or just found this business after a Google Search — then be happy. Why? I’m honest to a fault and I am taking to write this lengthy, sincere, and as it happened review which includes faults and all plus the great stuff. HIRD is a NACA INSPECTOR. Well, NACA certified inspector and is an Inspector separate from NACA.
First, I don’t give 5 stars for just showing up. I was brought up to earn what I get and take care of the things I am blessed to have. So, HIRD gets 5 stars because Mr. Davis is the Inspector that showed up and handled business in a (1) professional, (2) prompt, (3) Courteous, (4) Full Disclosure type manner, (5) and got the reports done expeditiously! Can’t ask for much more not even free. Why? I wouldn’t trust him if he was free. Hey~ I’m happy to pay for what I want. I simply want good service.
Disclaimer: For established Unilocaler’s or my followers — you know how I can be so I hope this goes pretty par for the course compared to all other reviews that I have written. What do I mean? If I get to gushy — tap me on the shoulder so I can stop.
What worked:
Inspection or Inspections in Charlotte should be mandatory for closing but they’re not.
1) He didn’t give me the whole «spill» on what a great investment an inspection is or could be… BUT hey! maybe you’ll want that. Not I said the cat. lol
2) He arrived well ahead of me and I was 30 minutes early.
3) He parked out of the way and was tidy + courteous about not making tracks with his shoes and taking pictures that didn’t include people.
4) Personable: as I had several contractors and sub-​contractors stop in… he greeted and interacted professionally courteous and they all hit it off.
5) My report was done and emailed before I got across town and back.
What can improve:
a) Card processing at some point. He his picked up Square and Intuit but I’m hoping Paypal may be added at some point. Yep, I like double invoicing which is what Paypal affords and other Paypal benefits matter too.
Payment:
1) Cash or check. But hey at least this way he doesn’t have to incur a bunch of fees yet I know for some people this can be a bummer especially when you are accustomed to swiping for everything. Look, I’ve got friends that have never bought checks. I actually prefer them for certain bigger purchases like this. It’s not expensive but the service is invaluable and I like to document with as much as possible.
2) He offers a deal to NACA loanee’s (that’s people who are closing with NACA). Outside of NACA his price is about 15%-22% less than the market average. That’s a good thing because trust me, the cheapest; nor is the most expensive always the best. He is right in the middle.
