- Chris Ranallo, Realtor, Chris Ranallo Real Estate Team
I was very pleased with the inspection process of my home. Andrew was flexible with scheduling and also extremely professional and thorough. During the inspection, Andrew quickly displayed his knowledge of all aspects of the home; including minor and major concerns. He even took the time to explain some simple repairs that I could do once I was in my new home. I really appreciated the thoroughness and time that Andrew took to provide those details. He even returned to the house a 2nd time to inspect an area of the house that was not exposed the first time he was there. That was going above and beyond and in today's world, those work principals are priceless!

We were very impressed with how smoothly the whole process was from scheduling to the inspection. He had our report to us within 2 hours of our inspection. Would definitely use Andrew again if we move.

As a first time home owner I had no idea what to expect. I was very pleased with the way Andrew explained in plain terms what he was seeing and what his recommendations were. He helped calm my nerves and put me at ease. This was a very good experience!

My wife and I have moved 3 times in the last 8 yrs. This last inspection was the first time using Bode Home Inspections. With me being in Med school and my wife in law enforcement, we are both pretty particular about things. We were very impressed by Andrew's attention to detail and the time taken to explore every corner of the home. This was our best inspection by far!
