EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
At Branch Property Investigations, our award-winning reputation is based on years of collective experience in the building and remodeling industries. Buyers, sellers, agents, and legal entities count on us to provide fair and unbiased inspections when it means most.
I believe Tom and Branch Property Investigations are the best in the business. Very comprehensive without going beyond their scope. Took the proper time and was not in a rush to get done. Thanks! Information helped us make our decision on the property.
Tom put this first time home buyer’s heart at ease when he walked me through my soon to be new home. My plans were up in the air as I waited for the final inspection to see if my dreams were actually coming true. After his careful and thorough inspection, we discovered a fault with the home that ended up saving me $9,500 off the purchase price! Tom took the time to walk us through everything he found around the home and did not sugar coat anything. He was realistic in what needed to be attended to right away and what to keep an eye on in the future. He answered every question I had, making my final decision that much easier. Cannot recommend him and his team enough, if you are looking for an inspection you can trust, look no further!
The team at Brand Property is incredibly thorough, responsive, and kind. Starting with Eleisia who made magic happen to get a walkthrough scheduled on short notice in this sellers market. She answered all our questions within hours, including after hours when needed. We did a walkthrough with Mark and it felt like he was completely invested in the outcome. He explained everything he was doing, looking at, finding in plain english. He didn’t rush and he finished in the time we had. All in all, we feel incredibly good submitting an offer and putting earnest money down on a popular house in a competitive market. Now that we know the pre-offer walkthrough exists, we will definitely continue to bring Brand Property Investigations in before making any future offer.
I booked with Branch Property Investigations when the recommend inspectors from other organizations did not have availability. Daniel was personable, efficient, and thorough. The process from beginning to end could not have gone more smoothly. If you are looking for a solid alternative during this busy season I would highly recommend their services.
Tom was a pleasure to work with and an incredibly honest, direct, thorough, and kind inspector! So wonderful to be able to trust a professional in the mold industry with no reservations. Eleisia was so warm, helpful, and professional as well! Tom was wonderful at catering to our inspection needs and helping us come up with a financially doable plan. It is very clear that his motive is to help people find the mold source (if there is one) without taking advantage of them even when they are extremely vulnerable. Again, to be able to trust someone implicitly in this industry is a beautiful thing! Thank you, Tom and Eleisia!
“I would highly recommend working with this group! The inspection walk-thru was very thorough. My inspector worked diligently and efficiently, was very responsive to my calls, and took the time to walk through every item on the list, along with his suggestion to fix it. I can tell he is passionate about the work and was looking out for my best interest. We walked away with an inspection report that was phenomenal — it was extremely detailed with photos of everything and a couple videos. It even included who we may want to contact for each project. This group was beyond my expectations. Amazing. Professional. Reliable. I will absolutely use them again if I ever need another home inspection!”
“The inspector did a great job with my buyer’s inspection. He was very thorough & explained everything clearly. He answered all questions my buyer had – including some additional questions that came up a few days later, which he responded to very quickly. Really helped my first time buyer understand why & how some issues were more important than others, & helped to ease his mind that for some things, just simple maintenance would suffice. I highly recommend Branch Property Investigations (& I greatly appreciate that they also perform Radon testing!)”
“Tom was AWESOME. So thorough. We really felt like we know exactly what we’re getting after our home inspection. He went over everything we may need to fix in the future; and how to go about getting it done. We really felt strongly that we hired the best inspector out there! I will be recommending to everyone I know.”
“We’ve had three properties inspected by Tom, so obviously, we’re very satisfied with the truly great job done by this company! If you want a thorough, no corners-cut inspection done for a fair price, look no further. Many things were included in the inspections that we wouldn’t have even thought of checking, but we feel much safer, knowing exactly what needs to be done, once we relocate. Thanks for three, top-of-the-line inspections!”
“Branch Property Investigations was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The online tool for scheduling works smoothly & I even received prompt follow up from the office even thought it was the weekend. The inspection of the house we were looking at was top quality. I felt confident in the report, appreciated being walked through all categories & findings, and love how they rate the kind of risk/repair needed. The inspector (Tom in my case) went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with the results. Thank you!”
“This is my 2nd home inspection in the past month, as I had backed out of a previous house with a different inspector. Comparing the two inspectors (previous guy vs. this one) is like comparing night and day – I realized the importance of having a friendly and articulate inspector!”
“I’ve had two house inspections done by Tom, & I must say I couldn’t be happier. Both times we chose to do the virtual walk-through, which was extremely thorough, and convenient. Tom does a great job finding, documenting, & explaining every detail of the home. I am extremely confident in making decisions based on his inspections. He is always on-time & was very accommodating to our timeframes. Overall Tom gave us everything we needed in our inspections, and was very personable while doing it. His pragmatic & customer-focused approach had us confident in both our decision to walk away and subsequently to buy… and that’s the most important thing I can tell you.”
“Tom was wonderful to work with. He was so thorough with his inspection & walked us through each item with genuine kindness and care – making sure we understood. He answered our many questions with so much patience & attentiveness. We appreciated how we could do our inspection report discussion over Zoom. We would highly recommend him to anyone! Also wanted to compliment Eleisia who was so on top of things and called to make sure an adjustment we needed to make was OK before doing it!”
“First time home buyer here & I’m so glad I went with Tom & Branch Investigations. He performed our home inspection & radon testing. He walked us through everything, making sure we understood the implications & priorities for home maintenance & repair. He was on time, professional, & very thorough. His business development manager, Eleisia, was also superb – very communicative and helped keep things moving along. I would absolutely use this company again.”
“Very helpful! Answered all my questions, was very thorough, provided great resources, gave a detailed report, and very professional and supportive. Definitely recommend them!”
“Tom’s inspection was outstanding. He uncovered several things that needed repair that we would never have known without the inspection. Also, his online report is nicely organized and individual items are easy to find.”
“Incredibly professional approach, observations, and advice. While I hope this is our forever home, we would definitely work with you in the future & will recommend you to anyone we know in the market!”
“I was calling around to multiple inspection companies, hoping someone could get it done same day. No one was able to do it, but with how friendly the person I spoke to on the phone was, I wasn’t calling anyone else! And the inspection went very well. They educated me throughout the process & gave me a lot of valuable information about my new home. I will be recommending this company to anyone who needs an inspection!”
Thorough, Professional, and Incredibly Helpful! Tom did an outstanding job inspecting the home we’re buying. He was detailed, professional, and didn’t miss a thing. The report he provided was clear and easy to understand, including photos, laying out everything—from minor items to immediate concerns. We really appreciated how he explained things during the inspection and took time to answer all our questions. Highly recommend him if you want true peace of mind before buying a home!
