Customer Testimonials

Shannon C., Durham:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for completing our home inspection. I appreciate your patience in spending time to explain what you were looking for during the process in a way that made sense to me. You made it a much more valuable experience than I expected, and I feel like a more informed homeowner as a result. I have already recommended you to colleagues asking for reputable inspectors and/or contractors in the area. Thanks again!

Sumeet S., Durham:

I was very pleased with the quality of work done by Advocate Inspections and Bruce Ramsey.  He was extremely professional.  Bruce spent time walking through the home and explaining not only the flaws made by the builder, but also pointing out all required maintenance work, his recommendations, and going over some of the building code.  I was working with a tight deadline, and Bruce was able to meet my needs without sacrificing any quality in his work.  He found several major safety issues with the home that the builder is now addressing.  I strongly recommend Advocate Inspections, and will surely use this company in the future.

Brett B., Raleigh:

Advocate Inspections is simply put one of the most thorough and knowledgeable home inspection companies I have ever dealt with.  Bruce Ramsey was extremely easy to work with, and he was great at explaining the details of what he saw very well.  At no point did I feel as though I wasn't being provided with a detailed and accurate explanation.  He took the time to make sure the home inspection was complete, and he provided a prompt and exhaustive report complete with categorical breakdowns and recommended steps of action.  Bruce gained a customer for life with us and I will be sure to pass his name on to anyone in need of a home inspection.

Matt B., Apex:

Thank you for your thorough inspection report.  We were thrilled to receive such a detailed report so quickly. Your use of photos to show mentioned items is fantastic!  We will definitely recommend you to friends and family that may be moving to the area soon.

Maryellen L., Briarcreek:

Just wanted to let you know the warranty meeting went well.  The reviewer was familiar with your work and thought it to be thorough and well organized.  She had reviewed another of yours just last week so was familiar with the format.  I appreciate time and effort for preparing this report.  I would recommend you to anyone seeking a home inspection.

Becky D., Cary:

Bruce was very detailed in his inspection, and checked items more thoroughly than required.  Not only did he locate key items that required repair, but offered helpful insight on numerous building elements and future home maintenance.  The report was sent to us the next morning, and was critical in doing our final punch list walk-through with the builder.  Would highly recommend and use again!

Mike S., Cary:

We are very satisfied with the home inspection that Bruce Ramsey (Advocate Inspections) performed on a home that we were looking to buy.  Bruce was very thorough and took the time to explain to us how each of the home systems worked and any issues he observed.

Tony R., Cary:

I have owned many homes and have had several different types of inspections but not one as thorough as the one Bruce has done.  He took the time to walk each and every corner of the exterior/interior of my home and answer each of my questions as any true professional would.  I would highly recommend him to anyone and would be eager to recommend him to my neighbors.

L.R., Cary:

Bruce did a great job on the home inspection finding multiple issues overlooked by our original purchase inspection.  He had the report to us in the same day with the problems clearly identified.

Bernadette Lee Schroder, REALTOR:

I enjoyed meeting you as well....you were the topic of conversation last night at dinner.  I shared with Bob your approach/technique, and all the good information you made available to my clients and me.  I would certainly feel comfortable referring you to clients and colleagues...keep in touch.

Alan S., Garner:

Bruce was not only very professional; he also shared a great deal of knowledge with me. I now understand many of the things that I need to deal with not only in the home that we are buying, which he inspected, but also in the home that we are trying to sell.  The overall experience was great.  I will definitely recommend Advocate Inspections to everyone that I meet.

Donald and Brenda R., Holly Springs:

Your inspection was professional, timely and you took time to answer all our concerns. The report was well explained and included some color photos.  We were very pleased with your service.

Jordan P., Wake Forest:

Thank you so much for all of your help.  Your expertise and professionalism is unmatched. We really appreciate how flexible you were with scheduling as well.  It was very comforting accompanying you on the inspection and getting a first-hand look at the operation of the home as well as any issues that you discovered.  You certainly have an excellent eye for detail!  Thanks again!

Katia K., Durham:

Advocate Inspections did an outstanding job inspecting a 1940's house I'm thinking about purchasing.  The many items that needed attention were clearly pointed out during the inspection and thorough explanations were given as to why certain items were more critical to fix than others.  We asked many questions, and all of them were answered with ease and friendliness.  During the inspection we took many notes but realized a day later when we received the inspection report that we did not need to do so: the inspection report sent by Advocate Inspections was thorough, detailed, and meticulously put together.  I would not hesitate in the slightest to recommend Advocate Inspections for any home inspection I would need in the future.

Kris B., Cary:

Thank you, Bruce.  Your inspection process was thorough, informative and well documented.  Thank you for your diligence and professionalism.  We will be referring you to anyone who asks!

Leonard P., Cary:

Thank you.  I was very impressed with the home inspection report.  Your inspection was very complete and I know the exact condition of the house.  The report was professional and the pictures were very helpful.  I'm not real good with testimonials but everything I said above is true.  You can quote me.

Tabatha B., Cary:

Bruce Ramsey is knowledgeable, versatile, reliable and pleasant to work with.  His report is complete easy to read and with photos.  I would recommend Bruce to anyone who needs their home inspected.  Thanks.

Joann Some, ABR, QSC, Broker, REALTOR:

My buyer and I had a wonderful experience with Advocate Inspections. Bruce is very easy to work with and very professional.  He is flexible and shows up ahead of time.  He is knowledgeable in all areas, and as an extra bonus, he walked myself and the buyer through the inspection as he was performing it.  Not only did he explain everything in terminology that anyone can understand, but he pointed out what needed repairs and what didn't, and explained why.  He sent the report in less than 24 hours; it was thorough and easy to read, including useful pictures.  I will definitely use Advocate Inspections again, and highly recommend them to anyone.

Brooke Ridout, Realtor®, Broker:

As the buyer's agent it is very easy to get wrapped up in the buyers emotions towards the inspection, which is why I hire Bruce Ramsey.  From the first inspection, which was a referral from a client, I knew he would be great!  He had his camera ready, his contracts drawn up, with a big smile that said, "This is going to be an educational experience and I will be the one that teaches you everything you need to know about how the house SHOULD work".   New home buyers are the first to question what is wrong with the home but Bruce made it very simple; "I am going to tell you what is working properly, not working properly, some reasons why that normally happens, or if you need to get a licensed contractor to come and look at it, okay?" -This is great because their first instinct is to shudder and think "this house is falling apart, we aren't buying it!"  It is so important to have an inspector that is going to make the buyer's feel comfortable and explain how and why things work, even as the agent, it is very informative and each time is a learning experience.  He is on time, professional, and so friendly!  He is my favorite inspector and I really have not looked anywhere else.  Two Thumbs Up for Bruce Ramsey of Advocate Inspections!
