So very thorough and professional, it was a pleasure watching Raul at work!
- D.S., Revelstoke BC, January 2019
Raul was quick to both respond and setup an inspection time for us. He answered all of our questions prior to the inspection and his report was almost immediate while extremely detailed with accompanying photos and very thorough. Once we received and read the report, Raul called us and explained major issues and answered any questions we had. He took his time to ensure we had all of our questions answered and he covered every aspect possible so we felt confident to close the deal on our house.

- K.S., Salmon Arm BC, December 2016
Raul provided friendly and timely service. The inspection was thorough and informative.
- B.S., December 2016
Not living in the area we relied on our Real Estate Broker to recommend a company they felt comfortable with to complete a home inspection before purchasing our home. Clarion Home Inspection Services and specifically Raul Poole did an excellent job in communicating and providing details throughout the inspection process, creating a comfort level that the overall condition of the home was properly inspected. Well done!
- R.C., November 2016
We found the inspection report to be very thorough with advice on small things that could be acted upon to improve the quality of the home. Meeting with Raul on site at the end of the inspection was very helpful in understanding the written report. I would suggest that prospective home buyers meet on site with Raul if possible, his explanations of what he sees as a possible problem in future are much easier to understand if actually viewing what to look for.
- B.E., October 2016
Thanks so much Raul for your thorough and comprehensive inspection and report, and for answering all our questions with patience and clarity. We have no hesitation in providing a recommendation of your company. Thanks again for your attention to detail.
- M.A., August 2016
Thank you for being so thorough with our inspection. Crawling into and under places that others may have not gone. All of the photographs were a huge help as well. Not only did you point out things that weren't right but gave ideas on how to remedy the problems. Your quote was cheaper then others. Your experience and knowledge in the home inspection field became very evident early in our meeting. We have had other inspectors walk around and take looks from afar but you got right into everything and for this we thank you so much!!!!!
- A.E., Revelstoke BC, July 2016
Very comprehensive! Information is detailed, easy to understand, and in plain English; ( no highly technical terms).
- G.P., July 2016
Thanks Raul! Clarion provides excellent service and a very thorough, detailed report complete with photos to illustrate the few problem areas of our prospective log home purchase. The service and feedback is worth every dollar spent, absolutely first class.

- T.M., Kingfisher BC, April 2016
Raul you are, without exception, the most thorough and personable home inspector I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Because I am relocating from another Province and couldn't personally attend the inspection, Raul ensured that I had all the information I needed to give me confidence I needed to proceed with the purchase and gave me ample opportunity to ask questions and communicated his findings in a very forthcoming and professional manner. I highly recommend Raul and Clarion Home Inspections for any of your home inspection needs. Client satisfaction seems to be his first priority.
