Curious, did you skip using a realtor to buy a house?

We used Richard Zyp from http://www.canadianresidential.com./ we found him to be very good. However, we haven't actually moved into the new house yet! (This week!!!!)

Bill Squair with Canadian Residential. We used him in June. bill@cris-se.com 780-203-4344 He's very thorough!

Charles Hampton is a St Albert resident who's an excellent inspector. http://www.cabintocastle.ca/

Don't use Canadian Residential Inspection Services. Used them and they missed the black mould in the house we bought. Awful experience and tons of money spent to clean up their lousy inspection.

Edgar Castillo from Canadian Residential. I got positive feedback from all my clients.

Finders Home Inspections. St. Albert based family business.

Colin Dvorak is great but busy and frankly all of them are. I like access inspections as well. Dennis OSullivan is another good option. 450-650

Steve and Zach from [Technologic Inspections](https://www.technologicinspections.ca/) are awesome! A great father-son duo. They charge around $520.

[Edgar Castillo](https://www.canadianresidential.com/inspector/Edgar_Castillo/) is incredibly thorough, great at guiding you through his findings and recommending any potential maintenance or concerns. Prices range depending on the house, but I’d expect to pay between 400 and 600 typically on an average house I’ve also heard great things about [A buyers choice home inspections](https://abuyerschoice.com/edmontonne/contact-us/brendan-bella/) but haven’t personally worked with them.

Yeginspections.com Steve is great

If there’s an unfinished basement, be sure to look into any water stains on the floor and try and investigate them. My back door wasn’t properly sealed so a driving rain would put water directly into my basement. I only put two and two together 3 years in and now the subfloor is rotted and I have to replace my back door. The home inspector we had looked at it and said “oh yeah, that’s from construction, don’t worry about it”.

Paramount. The dude's an actual engineer, not someone who took a course.

I had two inspections done for a house (first house I backed out on) and the guy did a great job. Very thorough, explained things well, shared other random housekeeping type tips while inspecting, and we all got free small flashlights lol. Price will depend on the size of your home. Mine were both about 1060 above grade, in Edmonton, $450 (discount for the second one though). https://m.facebook.com/pages/category/Home-Inspector/Brylie-Home-Inspections-404151469681828/ No website but FB account. He said they will drive out to lots of places even as far as Calgary for certain clients. His name is Wes.

Google Holmes inspection. Mike Holmes certifies inspectors to do more thorough inspections per his standards. Dunno if there are any in the are but that's where I'll start next time I need one.

Bill Squair at Canadian Residential is great. He was extremely thorough!

Whoever you use, be sure to check their customer ratings before you book. I've used homestars.com for this but there are other ratings sites, too

Charles Hampton at Cabin to Castle is the best! That's the guy you want.

We used Executive Home Inspections. Very thorough (including thermal imaging) and a very detailed report afterward. http://www.homeinspectionedmontonab.com/

I work for an insurance company and we use Precision locally owned and operated 780-267-8169 he does everything u were asking for.

R.E.I. Home Inspections (Stay Ahead of the Rest and Inspect with the Best!) - St Albert home inspector and the owner is President of the Home Inspectors Assoc. ACHI.

Phone # for REI is 780 720 4956

I'm going to agree with above recs for EXECUTIVE HOME INSPECTIONS Extremely thorough! We used them last year when we were buying. Saved us from making a huge mistake on the first property we offered on & found fixable problems with the home we purchased, allowing us to negotiate repairs in.

We recently used Edgar with Canadian Residential Inspection. He was on point and super rad. Like · 1 · Monday at 11:53 pm

Matt Cline, he is really good and reasonable price.

http://www.excelinspections.com/INSPECTIONS/index.html. Really good.

Anders Home Inspec he is my cousin

Dean De Benedetto .. All points Home inspections! You'd love him

Personally I have heard good things of Derek Walker from people. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade and teaches it at NAIT during the day. Here are his qualifications: http://www.acumeninspections.com/qualified-edmonton-home-inspector Here is his price list: http://www.acumeninspections.com/home-inspection-pricing

Didn't hire a home inspector but would recommend Farhana Nurani as RE lawyer and Jeff Moore from Invis as a broker

Your realtor should be providing these:) Frankly I really like Hamish Henderson for Lawyer but he is a one man shop so it can be tough at times for him. Inspectors I recommend Colin Dvorak, Bill Lucas as two really solid inspectors.

[Brandon Hans](https://barrpicard.com/lawyers/brandon-k-hans) at Barr Picard Law has done all of my real estate transactions and I have been very happy with him.

I used https://sprucegrove.abuyerschoice.com/ last year (they serve west edmonton and St. Albert as well (and maybe other areas of Edm?) and Colin was great. I can also call him anytime for the entire time I live in the home if I'm having issues and he will come look at it at no charge and let me know what he thinks the problem is and what I need to do to fix it and will recommend professionals he thinks will do a good job Haven't had to use that service yet but it is nice knowing I can use it :) Him and his partner that day were thorough, professional, personable and efficient. They answered all of my questions, showed me every minor issue (like where the caulking on the kitchen backsplash has a tiny area that needs to be re-filled) and the report they provided with pics has been very handy so far (like when I forgot where they said the water shut off is lol). I also get recall reports on my appliances every few months via email :) I'd recommend them :)

Home inspections: yeginspections.ca Steve is great and his reviews speak for himself.

My mortgage broker was awesome. https://www.jamescatterall.ca

Your realtor should have this for you. Colin Dvorak

Access Home Inspection Services (Ask for Dejan [pronounced Dean]) 780-952-3152 www.accesshomeinspection.ca They specialize in first time home buyers. Very comprehensive report and reasonably priced. They offer FLIR imaging as standard They helped me to walk away from a money-pit and I will continue to use them as I shop for a home.

I used Fortified Home Inspections. My lttle 900 sq ft house took us a very thorough 4 hours to do. Cost about $400.

We used Pillar to Post, they were around $400 (in 2010) and gave us the report that same day!

I can recommend someone *not* to work with: Cabins to Castle Inspection. They missed that out electrical line was connected too low to the house. Tomorrow we are scheduled to get it fixed for ~1500$.

We had a great experience with Randy Murray from [A Closer Look Inspections](http://www.acloserlookinspections.ca/). Our realtor suggested him. I believe he charged us $500\+tax. He spent a good two hours walking us through everything following his inspection, and the process felt pretty thorough.

Nick with RGC Inspections. Super nice guy, very informative and prepared a nice little report for us with every detail, both times that we've used him.

Safe & Sound Inspections

I went with Brent at JBR Inspections on my realtor's recommendation. He spent 3 hours at the house, did a very thorough job and advised how to fix things, gave honest opinions \(I got an inspection done on a house prior to the one I purchased and as soon as we reached the basement he said the foundation was basically a crumbling sponge, we cut the inspection short and only charged me for the time he took up to that point\). Cost about $425 for 1160 sq ft \(they have some rates on their website as well\). He was also very flexible with times. I initially was going to go with Pillar to Post on a friend's rec, but their appt times sucked for my schedule and they cost more.

did the op hire a useless realtor? How much more work are you doing for this realtor?

I have one. His name is Geoff Latham (he's the president of the Home Inspectors Association of Alberta) good guy. RealEstateInspections@shaw.ca

Yes - Rod Dube` with Parkland Home Inspections.

Marlene Pinchbeck has done my real estate work for 10 years never an issue

Ian Rae with AmeriSpec!!! Awesome guy, very knowledgeable for a home inspector And Dennis Denis for a lawyer, he is by far the cheapest.

John Kenney is our go-to. That man doesn't miss anything. A lawyer definitely isn't about cost - it's spring so they're all fairly busy. It may depend on availability!

Ian Rae for sure! We dealt with Kenney Law, and he is great, we use him for everything. My sister used Dennis Denis and had issues with paperwork and ended up costing her $5000 to get it fixed (taxes and other paperwork issues)

we used Ian Rae. good inspection, just slow at getting the paper work in and we used Marleen Pinchbeck for lawyer,cheaper than the rest.

I used Coulter & Power in Edmonton. They were $700 cheaper than any lawyer in town. 780-420-0049 I used John Coulter. Was great to deal with.
