Mark is a professional in every sense of the word. He arrived early and immediately began assessing what we could. His knowledge is VAST to say the least, not only did he come with everything he needed and more to inspect the home he did provided updates as he went from different sections of the house. He informed on what needed to be addressed and also what was good to know. Would rate higher than 5 stars if I could. Will hands down use Mark again in the future.

Working with Mark was a great experience. Being from Switzerland, I leaned a lot on how homes are built in Canada, especially when in comes to differences in specific details. I could easily tell that Mark has a lot of experience and an exceptional work ethics. When I arrived on time for the inspection, he was already sitting on the roof and had done most of the work that he could do without entering the house. I immediately felt in good hands. I especially like that even a month after inspection, I can still get back to him with questions and he still remembers all relevant details from the inspection. He provided a lot of useful information that will help us when we move into our new home next month. Thanks Mark for an outstanding job!

The Home Coach was excellent! He did a very thorough investigation and was very knowledgeable and he made things very easy to understand! He was helpful and courteous! We learned a great deal about the home inspection process and given some really good feedback and advice that we can use in future! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home inspector!

I’ve worked with Mark on two occasions and have found his input invaluable. The first time was on a potential home purchase, that during the course of the home inspection turned out to have many code issues, and questionable renovations. Needless to say, after learning this I went with a different property that was given the green light by Mark, and was extremely happy with the quality of the home I purchased. I recently purchased another much older home in the highly competitive GTA market, and as a result did not have a Home Inspection prior to purchase. I now regret this decision. Water and mold was discovered in the finished basement less than 24 hours after possession. This warranted an emergency call to the Home Coach to help assess the problem and figure out next steps to solve it. Having been involved in multiple bidding wars in the GTA, I understand the temptation to waive a home inspection, but after this frustrating and costly experience I recommend seeking professional help to ensure the largest investment you’ll make as a buyer is a good one. Thanks for your help Mark!

Mark Ellison was a very trustworthy and thorough home inspector who also was able to attend us right away despite the busy schedule. We are first time home buyers so we had a lot of questions for him but he took the time to answer all of them and the report that he delivered was thorough and well rounded. We are very pleased with his professional and excellent work. Worth to mention that his company is also integrated with a number of services that will monitor your appliances for recalls and warranty changes, etc. Highly recommend

Home Coach did an amazing job doing our inspection. My mom and I just purchased our first condo together and we were initially a little worried there may be issues in the condo since it is an older building. Mark did a thorough job doing our inspection and gave us some great advice. We both felt more comfortable moving in after the inspection. Home Coach is just not there to do business, they mean well for their customers! I will recommend Home Coach to my family and friends!

We purchased our home without an inspection and chose to do one, six months post purchase. I called and Mark was immediately accommodating. He took note of our concerns and went through the house with a fine tooth comb! Mark was forthcoming and gave us the recommendations we needed. He was incredibly thorough and so easy to speak with. When he was done, he sat down with us and went through all our questions and never once did we feel we were taking up his time. He made every effort to make us feel satisfied. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone buying a home or doing a post purchase inspection. Thanks so much Mark!

We were interested in purchasing an older home and we decided to do a pre-inspection. We gave the home coach a call and we received exceptional and professional service. He taught us a lot about homes and gave us an amazing rate. We would recommend him as a home inspector.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Very, friendly, knowledge and professional. Very patient in explaining things to first time home buyers. He came recommended by our realtor Cynthia Ostos, wouldn't hesitate to recommending him ourselves. Thanks again Mark!

We were interested in purchasing an older home, but were worried about the unknowns or getting hit with a big expense shortly after moving in. We got referred to Mark at The House Coach, and he was so thorough with his inspection, that it really put us at ease. He took the time to explain to us in detail what he was documenting, and answer all of our questions and concerns on the spot. A very bright and detailed individual, and really glad we had the pleasure of working with him. He had also recently helped my parents with their home inspection, and my dad had nothing but good things to say about Mark. Thanks again Mark! Keep up the excellent work.

Mark is very knowledgeable when expecting a home, he took the time to explain everything he was seeing . We got in contact with him though our realtor when we were trying to bid on our first home unfortunately we did not win the house. I will be contacting mark the next time we bid on a house again. Thanks again Alim

To sum up in 2 words, informative and thorough. Very thorough! Mark was a pleasure to work with from the beginning of his process. I love his work ethic and professionalism. He's very easy to talk to and definitely knows his craft. I'd recommend Mark at The Home Coach for any and all of your home inspection needs.

I had a few concerns about the property we were about to sell so I decided to have a home inspector come by to advise on any critical work that may need to be done before selling. Mark was the first home inspector I called. He was very friendly and helpful. It was obvious he had a lot of knowledge, but also very willing to help. After speaking with him, I booked an appointment right away and didn't bother calling anyone else for quotes to compare. When I met with Mark, he was very diligent and thorough. The home inspection itself was a great learning experience. Mark also offered his advice if I needed it throughout the selling process. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a home inspection! He listens to your needs and delivers accordingly. He also offered ways to save money in getting the work done and referred people that could help at a low cost. He definitely went the extra mile!

This was the first time I worked with The Home Coach for a home inspection and I found the experience to be very good. Mark was able to make us understand exactly what he was looking for and explaining the details as we inspected the whole home together. We will definitely use him for our next home. And we will refer the home coach to everyone who needs a home inspector who cares. Thanks Mark.

Being a first time home buyer, I admittedly did not know much about the whole inspection process. Mark was amazing in walking us through the process and answering all of our questions. He was able to really break down some of the technical jargon and help us understand all aspects of the house inside and out. He followed up with his report a few hours later that included a ton of detail and pictures to assist in the explanations. I am very grateful to have had Mark as my home inspector, he did an amazing job, is extremely knowledgeable, and has great customer service!

Mark and The Home Coach services are great! We used Mark for two home inspections and we were thoroughly impressed. He knows his stuff, he is very thorough, detailed oriented and approachable. You will definitely learn a few things from Mark and he will ensure your home is assessed properly for your peace of mind. Thanks Mark.
