"I must say that I was very impressed with you and Tony, and the process you used.  Also, while you were very thorough in pointing out the problems to the Bozek's, you gave them a rational and balanced review that didn't scare them. I've seen home inspectors unnecessarily scare buyers in the past.  Well done!
P.S. nice report too."

"Mr. Brown inspected my home in July of 2001.  I currently live in the home and have had no surprises come up since I have lived here...While Mr. Brown was inspecting my home it was evident that he had tremendous knowledge of proper building practices.  Mr. Brown did find a few deficiencies that, while not imperative to be repaired, needed to be closely monitored.  Mr. Brown also came highly recommended by a Realtor/close friend whose judgment I greatly respect.  Not only would I not hesitate to utilize his services in the future but I will require it if I ever need a home inspection in the Metro DC area."
Aleksandar Vujic, Home Owner

"An excellent synopsis! Thanks so much!"

"I have known Hollis for 4 years and he has completed Home Inspections for my Buyers on upwards of 50 properties. During our busy years I saw Hollis almost every week and thus I know his skill, acumen, knowledge and people skills. I have worked with other inspectors and Hollis is the best. He is extremely capable, extremely proficient and extremely decent. My clients respect his technical knowledge, his work ethic and his excellent debriefings. Equally Hollis is instructive and clear with new homebuilders and sellers. He is exactly the kind of inspector who should be teaching other professionals."
Gloria Rose Ott, Realtor

"Madeline and I have been realtors for 4 years and have used Hollis and ThoroSpec as our primary inspector for our transactions. We have Hollis' professionalism to be top shelf in every aspect of the home inspection process.  His inspection process, includes a detailed meeting with the purchaser/seller along with clear concise documentation...We have had many inspections done by Hollis and he is always prompt, courteous and represents our team very well."
Larry Whitehead, Realtor

"I have worked with Hollis for more than a decade and have been consistently impressed with his dedication to detail, entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to do what it takes to get a promised job done.  I always found that when Hollis said he would do something, I could rely on him.  I have no doubt that any assignments provided to his firm will be performed at the highest level."
Fred Ugast, HomeTech Information Systems, Inc.

"I've worked with Hollis for almost 10 years now and found him to be honest, dependable and incredibly accurate in all of his inspections. He has completed at least 50 inspections for my clients in the past and I recommend him to all of my clients now.  His reports are detailed and accurate and useful for explaining the shortcomings of a property when negotiating with sellers and their agents.  Lastly, most buyers are nervous that the inspector will just "rubber stamp" any home they buy and say it's just fine. Hollis won't pull punches. If there's a problem he'll spell it out in a calm and thoughtful way. This is very important with such a big purchase.  I can recommend him without any hesitation at all."  Joseph Himali, Broker

"There are several reasons that I like to call upon Hollis Brown when I'm recommending a home inspector for my clients. He's very flexible with his schedule so we can always work something out. He delivers his reports immediately. But most importantly, I know that my clients are in good hands, which, of course, is the most important thing.  His inspection is thorough and complete.  I never worry that he's missed something. Just as important as the results of the inspection, in some cases more important, is the education Hollis gives the clients.  The clients need to know what they're buying, how it works, how to care for it.  Hollis provides this in a clear, organized and understandable manner during the inspection and as he presents the report. This is essential for young first time homebuyers, but is valuable for every homebuyer.  And then he makes himself available by phone for follow-up in case questions come up.  I've never had a client be less than pleased with Hollis' service.  As a matter of fact, on three occasions, I have called Hollis in a panic because another inspector has left my client with an uneasy feeling.  He has always been able to answer their questions and give the client the information necessary to make informed decisions.  You'll enjoy working with him."
