Marigold was 1 of 3 referred to us by our Realtor.... as we reviewed each website it was clear Marigold was the one to call.... but a solid website is just that a solid website.... the time Curtis Larson took with me initially to explain the options and schedule was very helpful. We wanted to explore the property and when we arrived, Marigold employees were at the property setting up the Radon and Well Test, we were greeted by Mark Rahja who stopped in to check on things. It was impressive to just know the preparations for our inspection were being done as they were explained to us earlier. The actual property inspection was scheduled for later as the Radon and Well tests needed time prior before results. Mark went through the entire property and then spent an incredible amount of time with me going through what he found. It was a great feeling to know what we are buying. Mark found things we did not see and since it is not Mark's forever home - he was able to look at things with less emotional eyes. Mark looked at things from a professional's point of view and that is what we needed and hoped for. Mark's report was thorough and even after writing the report Mark called me to go over a few things before he hit 'publish' to ensure I would totally understand what the report says. I had a few questions after the reports came in and my questions were immediately answered. Overall, I would highly recommend Marigold Home Inspections. We are going into this property as educated, aware based on the findings of Marigold and Mark Rahja and we are excited to soon call this home. Last thing is the septic certification yet based on the disclosure reports, the sellers indicate no issues, yet, while that is reassuring, we still want to get a professional's confirmation.... oh, I can almost feel the country air! Thank you, Mark and Marigold Home Inspections for getting us one step closer to our dream farm! read less8/30/2023Jeffrey Priest (Priest Law Firm)Bret is great. Very detailed. Covered everything.
