- L.S., Point Pleasant Boro NJ, June 2017
This was my first time buying a home, and I had very little knowledge of it. Don took the time to explain a lot of things to me in regards to the house, and what to worry/not worry about. The inspection went well and twice he asked if I had any questions. Both times he was patient with me and explained everything making sure I understood exactly what he was saying. I would recommend him and your company to everyone. He took the time to discuss which walls were load bearing, why they were, and how to deal with them. Then I received his report WAY sooner than I thought. And it was extreamly detailed. Making note of everything. A huge thank you again!
- K.R., Brick NJ, June 2017
Talk about thorough!! As a first time home buyer, I was made aware of every possible thing in the house. A 2-hour inspection followed with a detailed analysis with pictures emailed to me. I feel prepared and confident knowing what will need to be addressed now and down the road. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. It is worth the money you pay to have a proper inspection. I highly recommend Don!

- F.E., Staten Island NY, April 2013
Don Oakes conducted his inspection with efficiency, an eye on details of importance while maintaining an ease of communication. As a real estate professional, the manners of the inspector to convey the condition of a home honestly without understating or overstating things is an important part of this process to all involved. Moreover, if a home happens to be in above average or good shape - despite some expected normal defects - it is also of great comfort and assurance to a Buyer and Seller to state the case. Don Oakes is a professional with an approachable, positive attitude. From one professional to another, that is appreciated...Jim Casaburi, RE/MAX Award Realtors, Brick, NJ
- J.C., March 2013
