Dear Jim & Susan, I just want to express my appreciation to you both for supporting my business via doing the excellent job you do for my clients. You are always accessible. You say what you do and do what you say! You are with a very professional approach, on-time for appointments, always do a very thorough job, very knowledable concerning codes, safety, recall and "grandfathered" issues, as well as always with good recommendations for corrective actions. Your communications are timely, personable and understandable and your reports & documentation always thorough and informative. The two of you make an excellent team with Jim working in the field while Susan takes care of the phone and office. I look forward to an excellent continuing relationship with you!

Mr. Giuffre, Thank you for performing the inspection and providing the comprehensive inspection report. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you. Sincerely,
- Mary G. Frere, Buyer
Dear Jim: Thank you very much for the inspection and report. It appears to be quite thorough and complete and I really appreciate that. It will be helpful to me in my endeavor to purchase this home. Again, my sincere thanks. Sincerely,
- Don Ludlow, M.D., Buyer
Jim, Thank you very much for your help. All the best.
- Troy Wight, Buyer
Thanks for your inspection report. Very thorough and professional.
- Mark Cramer, Buyer
Jim: Thanks for the prompt delivery of the inspection report and the thoroughness of the report as well.
- Al Veverka, Buyer
Jim, Thank you for the thorough and professional inspection and report.
- Tom Dyott, Buyer
Excellent service. They help me look good. I would give Jim Guiffre and his wife, Susan, more than 5 stars for service. When I call them to schedule an inspection, I have always gotten same-day or next-day service. They also get the report to me before midnight on the day of the inspection. NPI is the only company I know that does that.
Their efficiency is crucial because time is of the essence with home inspections. Jim and Susan are committed to doing the inspection and getting the report to the agent and buyer in a timely fashion.
I have been using Jim for about 4 years. I use him almost exclusively now. I do give buyers the opportunity to call other inspectors, but I suggest that they call Jim first. My clients are usually so pleased with him that they do not call others.
Both Jim and Susan go above and beyond the call of duty. The reports are thorough and, if I have any questions, Jim will come back and look at it. He calls buyers back to discuss any issues they have as well. I also have seen him calm down sellers and make them feel more at ease.
Ultimately, a buyer's experience with the home inspector reflects back on the broker. Jim and Susan go way beyond satisfactory in their area of expertise. They help me look good at what I do.
- Anna Marie Kozel, Broker
A home inspection is an essential element of a successful real estate transaction. Jim and Susan Giuffre are a team. She is the initial contact for buyer/seller client. Quick response and follow-up and gives the client a comfort level of professionalism. Jim has the necessary tools to document his findings. He understands that the inspection process and conclusions can be stressful especially for a nervous buyer, but he will take the extra time to explain the defective items instead of just sending them a 30 page report and frightening the client needlessly. Even though time is valuable to everyone, he has spent additional time with a few of my buyers that had limited or new home ownership experience. They were able to make informed decisions with confidence.
-Vicki Brumbles, Realtor

- Laney Funderburk, Buyer
Jim - thank you for this comprehensive report. We have reviewed it in detail along with the summary section. All matters are clear and straight forward.

Thanks to you and Susan for your timely and professional service.
- Dr. Rick Whitfield, Buyer

- Nathan and Melody King, Buyers
Faye and I want to thank you again for being so thorough in your inspection. While never in doubt, you certainly lived up to the accolades that Anna Marie and Al have given you. We very much appreciate the thoroughness and professionalism you displayed in your work. And it was a very nice touch to provide us with the discount coupon at Ace Hardware. That will come in handy. We are so looking forward to moving into this new home and your inspection proved it out to be a gem. Very few problems and no deal breakers or significant ones that can't be fixed. So thank you again
- Rick Arvonio, Buyer
Wow, wow, what an inspection. Thank you for conducting my new home builders warranty inspection. I heard you were good and boy are you very thorough, I had to see it to believe it. You were at my home for hours and you left no stone unturned. You have given my wife and I piece of mind as to the condition of our home before the builders warranty is over. We now have a punch list for the builder to fix items before his warranty is up. I still look at the inspection report and marvel at the pictures and thoroughness of it. I have recommended you to another new home owner and I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know that would need an inspection. Thank you.
- Art Wilband, Homeowner Builders Warranty Inspection
Thank you very much, I have printed our report, which is very impressive and will read it all through when my fingers thaw out today! Very thorough!.......
- Ruth Cronk, Carolina Shores, Buyer
Thank you Jim; I appreciate your outstanding customer service. The reason I went with your company is that your office was very polite and professional over the phone. I own a furniture business that ships all over the country and I know good customer service when I hear it! Thanks again.
- Richard Sexton, Buyer
Thanks, Jim! I did a quick look-thru of the report and I'm happy to say that there aren't too many items that appear to need work. Thanks so much for your help. I have enjoyed talking to Susan on the phone.
- Vicki Robenson, Realtor
You are very kind. Thank you! Your company has been very responsive and helpful during this process. Your thoroughness and professionalism gave Tom and I peace of mind during this long distance negotiation. Perhaps our paths will cross in the future as we spend time in Sunset Beach. Thanks, again!
- Beth Hill, Buyer
Hi, Jim, Thank you! I did close on my house. Centex corrected almost all of the items that you had found needed work. Thank you so much for doing the inspection. I feel confident that the house is sound and well-built. Having you check everything was a big relief to me!
I told Dee Roe, my Realtor, how happy I was with the job you did. I'm sure she will continue to refer people to you in the future. If anyone asks for a reference, I would be glad to provide one for you. I'm enjoying it....but still unpacking!
- Chris Faust, Homebuyer
Jim, thanks again for the thorough inspection and the loaner dust mask on the under-house crawl. It was great to meet you today. Regards,

If you ever need any references, please have them contact me!!!!

Jim was so nice and patient with my questions. He explained everything so I could understand the good points of the home and some things that would need to be fixed.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying a home. Thank you so much.
