"Our trust in RIA began when we were on the other side of the inspection.  We were selling a home we rehabbed and the buyer chose RIA to do the inspection.  We received quite a list of items that our general contractor had poorly done or overlooked.  We decided to get rid of that GC and hired RIA to do all the inspections for our purchases.  Thus far, we figure RIA has saved us $6 million on deals that were far worse than they originally appeared.  Now, we will not buy a home or any other property without RIA giving us their analysis first."

Ray McBride, CEO

"We highly recommend The Residential Inspector of America.  When we are purchasing a property we are looking at the overall value.  RIA gives us a consensus necessary to make our purchases.  Other inspectors we used felt it was their duty to point out every minor detail, sometimes missing the major scope of the property.  Before each investment, RIA inspects the property, and then we make our improvements before reselling it.  We are confident the buyer of our property will only find the minor details we decided not to address.  Never has the buyer of our properties found something RIA did not detect.  We also had the opportunity to terminate a purchase when RIA found unacceptable conditions we did not see ourselves.  RIA's unbiased findings provide us with the necessary tools we need to make successful decisions."

"At Foundations Investment Group, we pride ourselves on delivering quality, renovated homes to our buyers with the utmost integrity.  One of the ways we ensure this is by using a home inspection service that reflects the same qualities our company holds true.  The inspection service we turn to time and time again is The Residential Inspector of America.

On several occasions, The Residential Inspector of America has prevented our company from pursuing houses with major structural issues, saving Foundations Investment Group thousands of dollars in the process.  Many investors skip this important step and ultimately hurt themselves in the end.

The benefit of an inspection far outweighs the cost, and knowing that The Residential Inspector of America is on our side, puts our minds at ease.  Foundations Investment Group would not turn to anyone else."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with RIA in regards to the purchase of a second home in the Atlanta area.  From the beginning, the professional way that I was treated by everyone that I talked with was above and beyond my expectations and it was the most complete and thorough inspection report that I have ever seen.  This was very important to my wife and I, since we live over six hundred miles away from the property and your firm in Georgia."

"I've been working with the Residential Inspector of America for over 5 years.  The group consists of engineers, architects, contractors and the most knowledgeable group I've had the pleasure of working with in the 9 years I've been in real estate.  They provide great information on codes and how the homes measure up.  They provide an on site inspection report with photos of any concerns.  They are available to explain the report and any issues.  When calling into the office the staff is professional and follows up with us and the client providing the inspection in an email form as well.  We highly recommend this group for your inspection needs."

"Our team always recommends Residential Inspector of America for home inspections.  They are our inspector of choice and are very professional, thorough and knowledgeable.  They have helped many of our clients protect themselves and the value of the homes that they have purchased and sold!  Thanks for the great relationship!"

"I have been selling real estate 8 years in different locations around metro Atlanta from list prices of $100,000 to $1 million.  During that time, all of my clients who have used RIA (which were almost all of them) were very satisfied with the manner in which the inspectors conduct their business.  They always appreciate their thoroughness, knowledge, professionalism, easy to read, on-site computerized reports and most importantly, the time the inspectors take to explain what something is and how it works or should work.

I have appreciated RIA's inspectors' genuine concern for my buyers without alarming their emotional side when costly items have been found.  Also, the inspectors I have had are always willing to give suggestions on what items COULD be more costly than others when the buyers and I were at a total loss.  Also, when lists have been long, they have emphasized that ALL items CAN BE FIXED!  Thus, I have never had a contract come to an end due to the inspection from RIA and yet, felt my buyers knew all the repairs needed and knew exactly what they were purchasing when RIA finished their inspection."
