The Murphy Home Inspector who inspected the home we are considering buying provided a detailed report to us that provides a helpful guide as we consider the problems and issues we will need to address if we purchase the home. The documentation was easy to follow and the report included pictures to illustrate and help us locate the underlying problem or issue.

As a Realtor in the Portland area I've had the opportunity to work with many home inspectors. Murphy Home Inspection are my preferred inspectors to work with because no matter the home, they get the job done with extreme thoroughness, professionalism, and a non-alarmist attitude. A large portion of my clients continue to be first time home buyers. With my recommendation, so many of my clients have worked with Ian Watson and they have been very pleased. I love working with Ian because of his no-bs, easy to understand manner, and the way he calmly explains the homes issues in a way any buyer can understand. Even though many of these issues can be complex and technical, my clients tell me that Ian's manner and explanations made them feel comfortable that they understood the health and condition of their home.If you're looking for a home inspector that is thorough, honest, and works with integrity - I recommend scheduling with Ian!
