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.

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!

As a first-time condo buyer, I was nervous about the inspection process. From the moment Mark at The Home Coach sent me his first email, I knew I was in good hands. He was always quick to reply via email and provided me with useful information about what to expect throughout the inspection process. He was punctual on the day of the inspection and maintained a high degree of courteousness and professionalism during our 1.5 hours together. I appreciated his attention to detail and his ability to explain things to me in ways I could understand. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Mark was absolutely amazing! I learned so much from him, and still call/refer to his report when I have questions. Worth the extra money. Don't go cheap - You get what you pay for! Will use again, will recommend! A+

Mark, The Home Coach, is great! I recommend him to all of my home buying clients. He provides advice and feedback without 'scaring' the home buyer yet tells them what they need to know going forward. Thank you Mark for your wonderful service.

Mark at "the Home Coach", thank you!! Professional, thorough, knowledgable and incredibly personable. We can't thank you enough for doing our home inspection, and on a Friday of the long week-end to boot. We loved that you answered all of our questions with honesty and integrity. We learnt a lot. Anyone out there who requires a home inspection...The Home Coach is the place. Thank you so much Mark.

Mark at "The Home Coach" did an outstanding job! Not only is he extremely knowlegable and thorough but he is willing to explain everything at whatever level of comfort you are at (from newbies like me and my wife to the experienced and handy father-in-law). I HIGHLY recommend The Home Coach for anyone looking to inspect or assess a property. You will not be disappointed. A+++
