Carol, I got the DVD yesterday and we watched it last night. Let me say that it was well worth it. It was actually better than being AT the inspection. The level of detail was extraordinary and I had NONE of the distractions that I had when I was actually on the island and in the house. The DVD helps you to focus on the issues brought to light by the inspectors. As for the inspectors themselves, Chris and Scott were a dynamic team, and it is apparent to me that very little gets by either one of then. The inspection was crucial in this case as it appears the sale hinges on it. Right now, it is not looking good as the sellers have declined to make any repairs but have instead offered a $500 credit. I would not consider going with another inspection firm. You guys are really, really good, and the DVD makes that abundantly clear. As part of the marketing, you may wish to emphasize that the DVD allows you to focus on the issues that arise in the inspection as well as, or even better than if you were actually there. Please tell Chris not to walk so close to the edge of the roof. I may need him for another inspection some day. Thanks for bearing with me as I go through typical haole hysteria during the buying process.

Aloha! It's great that you can provide us with both a pdf and a call after the inspection. After all, you become the looking glass for customers like us across the big Pacific, and the dvd would be the next best thing to being there.
Thanks so much! Sonia Ell, California
I own several rental properties on the Mainland and therefore have had multiple interactions with Mainland property inspection companies. Until now my service with inspection companies have been good until I met CAROL and used ISLAND INSPECTION SERVICES. CAROL was more than accommodating with all of my many needs and requests. I am very detailed oriented and was able to matched with their home inspector (ERIC JOHNSON) whom I knew in high school. I appreciated the fact that she personally knew my Realtor - a local. CAROL truly embodies the Island's ALOHA spirit. I highly recommend ISLAND INSPECTION SERVICES to everyone!

"An important process in real estate transactions is the inspection process. This is where individuals can learn the true condition of the property. I have worked with Chris on numerous occasions both when he was the owner of a building repair company and as an inspector. His experience goes beyond just inspecting buildings but also in the construction, maintenance and repair of a wide variety of building structures. He has spent many hours with my clients, and has helped them gain a better understanding of their potential investment properties. Island Inspection Services has reports that are very through and easy to understand, and I highly recommend their services to any new or experienced real estate buyer."
Kelley Moran, Owner Hilo brokers
Just a short note of MAHALO for your thorough and professional inspection for me of the Kahua-Huina strip mall in Kaunakakai, Molokai. Your comprehensive inspection report is and will be a great assistance to me in the correction and prevention of maintenance items.
Sincerely, Karl Sauer
"The purchase of real estate is most often the biggest investment a person makes in their lifetime. This asset needs to be guarded right from the start. As a Real Estate Professional, I strongly encourage all my clients to conduct a thorough inspection during their due diligence period of the purchase contract. Chris thoroughly knows his business. In addition he is punctual, reliable, and honest. There are some things best left for the experts. Chris Rither of Island Inspection Services is one. Thank you Chris for serving our community."
Adele Eggel Broker-in-Charge, Hilo Clark Realty Corporation"Without the services of Island Inspection I would not have been able to complete the purchase of my Hilo oceanfront home. I live five thousand miles from Hilo and without Chris's help and guidance I would not have been able to complete the purchase. Chris was very professional and thorough throughout the inspection process and his final report to me was exceptional. I would highly recommend anyone considering purchasing a new home in Hawaii have Island Inspection complete an inspection prior to closing escrow. The inspection fee will be the best money you will spend."
John & Karen Holton North Carolina"Fast, inexpensive and complete. I highly Recommend Island Inspection Services for all our clients both on the Hilo or Kona Side!"
Catherine B. Nonaka R.S., Property Network LTD"When I had my potential new home inspected in the Puna District on the Big Island, Chris spent hours with me going over every aspect of the house and it's components. He did an amazingly thorough job from roof to foundation and gave me a good understanding of the catchment system and electrical systems. I was left with a deep understanding of the home, it's problems, trouble spots, and it's positive features, and in the end was given a thorough written report to refer to. I found Chris to be knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy and would highly recommend him."
Gary Morgret, Graphic Designer Boston Properties"Island Inspection Services was a valuable asset to us in being fully informed about our new home purchase. Chris was thorough and accurate on every level. I would highly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a new home have Island Inspection Services do an inspection prior to closing escrow."
Steven Pavao, Director Hilo Boys & Girls Club"The report we received from Island Inspections was through and professional. It provided us with a complete write up, photographs, material list and a breakdown of the cost, so we could make wise and accurate decisions on rebuilding our large wrap around deck, stair and rail systems. It saved us a lot of time and prevented unnecessary headaches."
