In this day and age of multiple fly by night businesses the best thing you can do is ask for references when you contemplate hiring someone!
REI and Co has done thousands of inspections and we can provide you with references on our work, our report system, our helpfulness throughout the inspection process and also with follow up.
Dont be afraid to ask for a few references from anyone you are thinking about hiring. It will give you piece of mind!

Mike Holmes is coming to Home Inspections!
One of the best pieces of information I received this past week was that Mike Holmes has started a Home Inspection Company in Ontario and will be starting a Home Inspection TV Show in April to alert the public to not only getting a home inspection BUT getting a good home inspector to do it!
I think that Mike Holmes new TV show will alert the public to the ramifications of NOT getting a home inspection done when they buy a new or used home. This should help us in the home inspection industry but better than that it will help the general public!
I have always said for such a small price you can have piece of mind that your home you are planning on buying is safe! Mike Holmes will show what happens when you dont get a home inspection done OR you get a uneducated inspector to do it!
Here are REI & Co we are Holmes on Holmes supporters and are excited that Mike will guide our prospective clients so they understand why they should call us!

No reason to NOT get an inspection in this market!
Gone are the days where people were fighting over properties. Gone are the days when multiple offers were a norm.
Gone are the days when people could not expect to get a house if they put "subject to inspection"
In this market buyers have the upper hand. They can put "subject to inspection" and make sure they are getting a great property!
There are over 9000 listings on MLS this month so the market is flooded with properties, so make sure that you are making a good call on the property you select.
With one call to us we can come quickly to see the house - there is NO need to put a long time period on your offer. Call us while you write the offer and we can come within the next 24-48 hours and take care of the inspection for you.
Take advantage of this market cause in months to come prices could go up again and the amount of listings could decline again - if you are buying NOW then get an inspection done.
Our prices start at $340 for a single family home in Edmonton or surrounding area - $340 is a small amt of money to pay to know that the home you picked has no major issues that could cause you money down the road!
We look forward to seeing you on your inspection!

Watch the expert!
If you ever needed a reason to get a home inspection all you have to do is turn on Holmes on Holmes and he will show you some true examples. Mike Holmes motto of "Make it Right" holds true with REI. We truely want to make sure that if there are issues with your "new home to be", that you know to "Make it Right"....without an inspection you will never know until it is too late.
A true example of this was in the last few weeks with basements flooding on homes people had just moved in to. They didn't get inspections and thus had not had the grading looked at or the sump pump checked....we had a lot of calls from people wanting us to come out and help after the fact.
Remember for such a small amount of money we can give you true peace of mind when purchasing your next home.

Time Constraints not an issue!
Well this past week has shown how we can work at the call of a buyer. We had numerous inspections where we had to come within 2-3 hours and we did it! We showed that we are up to those last minute home inspections that seem to be showing up on offers constantly. We can get the job done and have the report to you that same day! Remarkable!
We definitely like to have some notice but it definitely is not necessary - especially if it means protecting the buyer but getting them the house they want (with the knowledge in hand that it is A OK to buy).
So for those that need us at a drop of a hat - call us! we shall fit you in!

Real Estate Showcase - March 21 2007
This past Wednesday we attended the Real Estate Showcase which is put on each year for realtors, by the Edmonton Real Estate Board. It was REI's first year doing this and we found it to be very beneficial.
We managed to meet a lot of realtors - some knew of us and some had never heard of us even though we have been around so long.
A lot of realtors were repeating our thoughts in regards to homes that are being sold without conditions on. They definitely thought that it was time to change things as a lot of their clients may end up finding issues with their homes once they move in and then it would be too late for recourse.
It was good to hear that realtors were in agreement and wanted their clients to get a home inspection for their own peace of mind....
With the weather getting better we hope for more homes on the market and thus not so much competition for each home - therefore allowing people time to decide on their purchase AND allowing them time to get a home inspection!!!
