Oakland Home Inspections LLC

Funny how a bunch of his family members (all the Saari reviews) have left 5 star reviews. He must have needed to bump up his average rating. Also, in regard to his response, the BBB did nothing of the sort. He specifically told myself and my husband that he saw nothing wrong with our house and if he were the buyer, he would buy it. He tells lies in an attempt to respond to any negative review he receives. We paid $600 for a home and septic inspection in April 2013 and was given the all clear by Mike of Oakland Home Inspections. We closed on home in mid-June 2013. We moved in mid-July because we spent several weeks painting and prepping the home. By the beginning of August we were having septic issues and contacted the Twp and County (and have verification/documentation of such). We tried to contact Oakland Home Inspections but played phone tag for awhile. In the mean time we had the septic cleaned at which time we were told that the field was bad (have documentation of this as well). Since then we have had the septic cleaned an additional 2 times and are currently working with the County and various companies trying to get a reasonable quote. We finally reached out to the Inspector (Mike from Oakland Home Inspection) via email because clearly telephone wasn't working. He told us that the inspection was just an opinion and sorry but too bad. We responded to his email via email stating that if the inspection had been done accurately we would have NOT purchased this home and that we wanted to work with him to reach an agreement that would work for all parties involved. He responded again saying we were harassing him and that we need to stop contacting him and that ANYONE and I quote "including the paperboy" could do an inspection because it's just an opinion and there are no rules in Oakland County, Michigan to govern inspectors. Clearly there is an issue here if "professional" people can spout any old thing off, take fees for said "service" and not be held accountable for their so-called work. I'd stay VERY far away from this inspector. We bought a property with $30,000 worth of damage based on a home inspection that came back good, but was clearly not.

Oakland inspected our home and found a couple things that were easily replaced. That ended up saving us money before we sold our place and we probably got more money because of it. They were there promptly and were professionals. Marcus is an easy guy to talk to and seems to enjoy what he does. That's refreshing when dealing with people in the trades. I highly recommend them.

Wow! I highly recommend Oakland Home Inspections for first time home buyers. Not only are the very knowledgeable, but they give you advice on everything. I mean everything, it was extremely helpful and I came out of the inspection with tons of tips and advice. I definitely would not feel as confident, as I do now, buying this home if i didn't get a great inspection. GREAT JOB OAKLAND HOME INSPECTIONS!!

Marcus inspected our home and did a very thorough and professional job. He was there when he said he would be, and obviously took his time looking the house over. He and his dad seem to enjoy their trade. Thanks guys.

This place is trash. The owner is unprofessional, made derogatory remarks to my clients because they were a biracial couple. DO NOT USE THEM unless you wanted to be insulted with derogatory remarks
