I would agree, Fran is good. I would also have him do a pre purchase inspection, outside paint, etc. Get the small things fixed before closing.

Myself I picked up on at least 12 warranty issues that were fixed within the first year. If it weren't for TOTV I wouldn't have bothered. Just my two cents.

I agree, most of the time they find minor issues (cracks, etc.), but for peace of mind on larger issues (electrical, lack of insulation, structural most folks get an inspection. From what I hear/read, Frank is very good, and takes his time. With the inspector we had, he found a few minor issues and when he completed the inspection I asked him to add the 10 items I personally found that he didn't have listed.

OP, I think the money was worth it, Frank found a few items that I would have probably missed until AFTER the warranty period was up, and at least 2 of the items would have covered the cost of the inspection.
