         --Barbara Carr, Calvin & Barbara Carr Real Estate Team - Your “Diamond” Service Real Estate Connection in the North Okanagan.

I and my team of Kelowna Real Estate professionals are often asked by our clients to recommend a home inspection company.  As Realtors we are discouraged from recommending any specific company.  However, Pillar and Post is one name we always give our clients for Okanagan Real Estate inspections.

We are pleased to say that we can always count on a professional home inspection, with excellent reporting and explanation of the results, any time any of Pillar to Post’s inspectors is involved.  Our clients have been, without exception, impressed with the quality of the inspection and professionalism of the individual home inspector whenever they have used Pillar to Post.  It is nice to know we can always count on a job well done whenever Pillar to Post is involved.  This helps us deliver the type of exceptional customer service we promise our clients.

I have been the victim of 2 previous drive-by home inspections. You know the ones - "seems to", "should", "might", "maybe", "appears to" and the bonus "no guarantees" and the ever popular "not liable". I was expecting more of the same from Pillar to Post. Imagine my surprise when I met David Kilby at the house I wanted to buy. He appreciated right away that I was an apprenticing tool-babe. He was prepared to take as long as it took to explain issues with me - not one condescending word or heavy sigh. What I really liked about the material provided were suggestions for improvements, accompanied by pictures of the areas I might want to tackle. I like the idiot-proof home maintenance guide and the list of approved contractors in my area. Last but certainly not least, I enjoyed spending time with David. He's knowledgeable, personable and has a great sense of humour. He also invited me to contact him any time should I have further questions. In conclusion, extremely good value for the money spent - a definite "10".

To David Kilby who did three houses for us. Not sure if you will remember us David, Dennis and Terry, our last house you did was on Rutland road. You did wonderful work and when you said this house was in great shape in your over all report you were right. We are still enjoying every day that we wake up in it and hopefully will be here for a very long time. Anyway, thank you for your great work, your great sense of humour and being there when we needed you.

         --Dennis and Terry
