One company said nobody would be able to do it, another said no way, and a third was willing but wanted to charge a bunch of extra after-hours fees. Before getting all those responses, I’d already booked Duane from A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections. The inspector for our area was unavailable at the time we needed, but said he’d try to organise a colleague. Not long after, Duane called me back and locked it in. We" > — Jonathan (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "Excellent experience with Duane. He worked around our tight timeline and provided a very detailed report. Duanes testing was way more thorough than the one provided by the seller and saved me from buying a leaky home which would have cost me a huge amount of dollars to repair. I'm about to use him again on a new property and would have no hesitation to recommend Duane." > — Jade (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "Solid dude took time to talk to me a few weeks after the report was completed when I needed some advice. Used by some really good Real Estate agent for safe and sanitary highly reports recommended." > — Rob (5.0, via NoCowboys) ## Trades Builder ## See their work _The trader's own portfolio — galleries and visual-work profiles they publish (real work to view, not a self-claim):_ - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/abuyerschoicenz) ## Independent verification _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MTT is showing 661 public reviews on this profile.
