Peace of Mind A detailed and thorough home inspection by a qualified, objective professional dispels buyer's anxiety, especially for those who have little experience in the construction industry. It's money well-invested and gives the buyer an honest, unbiased report before they purchase. To know what you're buying before you own will give you peace of mind during this difficult process. |

KENNEDY SAVILLE
Franchise Owner Kennedy Saville chose a career in home inspection after having purchased a home without a home inspection condition that left him feeling vulnerable as he wondered what he would soon learn about his new home, that a professional home inspection might have caught. Kennedy says, “I enjoy helping people learn about the property they are buying so they feel more prepared for ownership of the home.” He advises homebuyers on home maintenance tips and teaches first-time homeowners the basics, to get them off to a great start.
Kennedy has lived on Vancouver Island since 2000. He spent 7+ years in the framing industry maintaining property and equipment and was a general property manager giving him a great deal of experience on the issues properties develop in the unique condition on Vancouver Island. Kennedy has completed Canadian Residential’s in-depth training program and says he loves the variety of people he meets on the job which allow him to continue to deepen his roots in the community. Kennedy was trained under veteran Home Inspector Neil Pickard while taking over Neil’s very busy home inspection business when he retired. If you are in need of a home inspection, Kennedy is a great choice, his personable yet professional manner puts his clients at ease during an otherwise stressful time and his inspection report review ensures clients to know what they are buying Before they own it. |
