Brian Cogley

My spouse and I became interested in purchasing a home that had a general home inspection report by Brian Cogley included in the disclosures along with other specific inspection reports done by other companies. Our relator told us that Brian is one of the best in the business and that she refers her clients to him – so we didn’t need to get our own general home inspection. I called Brian to discuss the somewhat extensive work that remained to be done. I was concerned about it especially as a first time home buyer. He was so clear and helped me to prioritize what needed to be done right away and what could wait. With this information we were able to formulate an offer strategy and demonstrate our seriousness and care for the house to the seller. Our offer was accepted and with Brian’s guidance we feel prepared to make well-​informed and prioritized improvements to our new home.

My husband and I wanted to know what kind of work we were signing ourselves up for when buying our first home, so we felt that getting a pre-​inspection was essential. Our relator recommended Brian, and he was outstanding. We both liked him as a person; he was honest, thorough, and educated us as he went along. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone, and advise anyone to be present for the inspection so you don’t miss the opportunity to learn from him!

Brian did the home inspection for the 1906 fixer-​upper that I inconveniently fell in love with, and he did an *excellent* job. He was thorough, clear, and explained the wide variety of repair issues comprehensibly, without dumbing it down, and gave me a sense of how to properly weight each one. Especially after having seen another inspector’s report for an earlier bidder, I feel really lucky to have gotten someone as thorough and competent as he was. A fixer-​upper is an undertaking, but one which, after his work, I feel more confident will not be an endless cavalcade of Surprise! Highly recommended.

Brian was thorough and professional throughout our inspection and really put us at ease. He said he evaluates each home as though he was the buyer, which was especially comforting to us as first-​time home buyers. His report was timely and informative. I highly recommend him!

I just did a home inspection with Brian yesterday. My clients were there, and they are first time home buyers. They had lots of questions that were both specific and far ranging. Brian did an excellent job of giving them well reasoned and accurate answers. Brian is very professional, and he knows his job very well. He was able to communicate to my clients what they should be concerned with, and what was not a big deal. He was really able to put my clients at ease with the property. He did not White wash anything, and he did not over dramatize anything.
I and my clients were very happy with his inspection, and I am glad my clients hired Brian.
