Brian is very professional and personable. He provided us with a detailed and informative home inspection. His expertise gave us a real piece of mind during our home buying process.

Brian was so kind and helpful. Really went above and beyond with helping me feel comfortable with what an inspection is, and how it will help me in deciding on my new home. He was even available after the inspection for questions. I really would and will recommend him to anyone.

I chose the perfect person to come inspect my home, not only was Brian knowledgeable but he was very friendly, very respectful and understanding. He gave me all the in and outs on what to be aware of, plus any advice, tips on maintaining the property. He definitely takes his job serious and is somebody you would want to work with if you looking for a friendly, well explaining, very thorough, and knowledgeable inspector. Awesome working with you Brian.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian for the inspection of my condo, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! He arrived right on time and was incredibly thorough throughout the entire process. His attention to detail is impressive; he noticed even the smallest issues that I would have overlooked. Not only was he meticulous, but he also took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood the findings. Brian’s knowledge and professionalism truly set him apart. If you need a reliable inspector, look no further than Brian!

My wife and I just bought a home and we are first time homeowners. During the inspection, Brian took the time to explain to us not only what he found during the inspection, but also some of the basics of owning a home. He went above and beyond and also made a point to stay in touch afterwards. We had a great experience with Brian and Realistic Home Inspection Services and we would highly recommend!

Brian was very thorough with the inspection. Very fun gentleman to work with and definitely added on some light to the home buying process. Very glad I went with his services as there was not a spot he left out of his inspection. Tons of details I completely looked over that were added as safety concerns during his inspection report. Would 1000% go with him every time and recommend to all friends and family! Was very quick and easy to book with him. Scheduled an appointment and 10 minutes after I had received a phone call going over in depth planning of the date and what he would be doing once he arrived. No need to look for any other home inspector as long as he is in business!

Brian exceeded all expectations and was particularly helpful walking me through his inspection report out of state. His meticulous attention to detail and clear explanations about state and local requirements was hugely valuable. The report was comprehensive, easy to follow, and included actionable recommendations. I highly recommend Brian and Realistic Home Inspections and will use them in the future!

Brian did a great job on our home inspection. Being a first time home buyer he explained what he was doing during the inspection. I would highly recommend Brian for a home inspection. He did a very thorough job! He even accommodated my work schedule and rearranged his schedule to get my inspection in. Brian did a great job! Brian even allowed my Dad to ask what questions he had and answered them thoroughly! Brian was patient with us and all our questions which is much appreciated!! 10/10 would recommend Brian!

Brian was so amazing throughout our home buying process! He did our home inspection and was incredibly thorough. He spent at least 3 hours showing me exactly what he was looking at and explaining to me why it mattered. Brian showed me important things regarding the home’s maintenance and what things to watch out for in the future. He was so amazing to say the least! He was extremely patient with me constantly stopping to run after my toddler during the inspection. Brian seriously felt like another dad to me throughout this process. Not only did he help with the inspection, but he helped me find someone to do a proper inspection of the inside of our chimney. He had suggested radon testing and at the time we were unable to do it. We are so excited to be working with Brian again at either having him do some radon testing or getting a referral out.

I highly recommend Brian! I am so glad we went with him!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian from “Realistic Home Inspection Services” for my home inspection. He was very thorough and made sure to stop and give me explanations on his notes, and also informed me about some of the things he was looking for and how he conducted them leaving me with peace of mind.
Brian was also convenient with scheduling and was able to make a quick appointment for me given the colder winter conditions. With that he also gave me insight on some of his procedures if weather conditions made it difficult to see some areas, he was ready for a backup procedure to be sure he could get the best look at certain areas if weather conditions would limit access.
I would definitely recommend Realistic Home Inspections to others and would turn to them for future business.

Working with Brian was great! I called to schedule our inspection and I got it scheduled very quickly. Brian is VERY good at explaining things. I’m first time homebuyer so a lot of this is new for me. I did not feel awkward or dumb asking Brain any questions. He was ready to answer in a way that made sense. Honestly, I didn't need to ask too many questions because he was on top of it and addressed all of the major and minor details. I can't complain about their pricing, either. I will definitely be using Brian in the future for any inspection needs and I will be recommending him to anyone we know!

Repeat customer here!
I worked with Brian for my home inspection in 2018 when purchasing my first home, and recently had him inspect my second home as well.
I truly appreciate Brian’s thorough approach—he carefully inspects every detail and clearly explains his findings. He’s always ready to answer any questions, which really helps alleviate any concerns throughout the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but having Brian's expert eye on the property gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Brian’s services!

We (my fiancé and myself) recently had an inspection done on our future first home and we could not be happier with the services Brian provided. Not only was he thorough and knowledgeable but he was extremely helpful in providing much needed education throughout the entire inspection. He took the time and was meticulous with his inspection as well with his explanations. As first time home owners/buyers that level of care and detail is greatly appreciated and highly regarded. Not only would I use his services again but I would gladly recommend Realistic Home Inspection Services to anyone in need.

I recently had Brian conduct a home inspection, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable.

Brian took the time to explain every aspect of the inspection process and answered all my questions in detail, making sure I understood any issues with the property. The inspection report was clear, detailed, and easy to follow, with clear photos and explanations. It gave me peace of mind about my potential purchase and helped me make informed decisions.

I was particularly impressed with how he was proactive in pointing out both major and minor issues that I wouldn’t have noticed myself. This attention to detail was invaluable.

I highly recommend Brian to anyone needing a professional and reliable home inspector. It was an excellent experience, and I’m confident I made the right choice with his help!

Brian recently completed our home inspection despite the foot of snow and cold winter conditions. His work was professional and done with great care and attention to detail; additionally, he went above and beyond to speak with us before and after the inspection to make sure any of our questions or concerns were addressed. We would not hesitate to hire Brian again and recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.

As a first time home buyer, my wife and I looked around for a home inspector and we eventually came across Brian. What assumptions of home inspectors I had were quickly dashed when Brian and I first spoke on the phone. A willingness to teach and educate, and to reach across the way to make sure you understood what he was saying stood out to me.

What makes me a lifelong customer of his is during the day of the inspection, as we went around to check the home he would tell me what he saw, what's typical in a home based on the time it was built, the history behind it, what the common problem/failures are and how to address them, in addition to also offering referrals to other vendors should I need (i.e., HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.).

All in all, if you want someone who's constantly going above and beyond in their job, someone who cares about what they do, then you've found your guy. Brian has definitely earned a lifetime customer in me.

From the moment I first spoke with Brian, his professionalism and attention to detail were evident. He meticulously examined every aspect of the property, leaving no stone unturned. His extensive knowledge and experience were apparent as he explained his findings in a clear and understandable manner.

What sets Brian apart is his genuine commitment to his clients. He patiently answered all my questions and provided valuable advice on how to address the issues he found. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the entire process stress-free and educational.

In a field where trust and reliability are paramount, Brian Derewicz stands out as a true professional. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch home inspector. Brian's expertise, dedication, and exceptional customer service make him the best in the business. Five stars!

Brian is AMAZING! If you're a first time home buyer and looking for an inspection guy to work with, I'd say Brian is your guy. We had the opportunity to work with him from a referral by our agent and we were not disappointed at all. He was attentive, friendly, detail and thorough. We were very pleased with how he took his time to go through each inspection and explained to us his findings. He was patient with us by explaining things we did not understand. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much Brian for everything you did to make our first time home buyer inspection experience go smoothly.

We 100% recommend Realistic home Inspection. Brian went above and beyond expectations for us—he is passionate about his work, highly knowledgeable, incredibly informative, and very thorough. He answered all our questions and concerns throughout the inspection process, and made sure we really understood what he was inspecting and reporting on. A home purchase is a big financial investment, and his detailed and thorough inspection of the property was well worth it, to ensured we knew everything about the house and its current condition. Not only that, but the detailed and well-organized inspection report gave us the right info we needed to work with the sellers on getting some needed repairs done before closing—couldn’t have asked for those repairs without a strong inspection report! We’d recommend this business to any home buyer wanting to ensure they’re making a good purchase, and to any seller wanting to make sure their house is ready to go for the market!

Brian was terriffic to work with. In a time when people make you chase them to take your money, he is the exact opposite. Brian spent 45 minutes on the phone with me before we even contracted his services explaining the process as this was my first home purchase. He was very thorough, and explained everything in detail. He went above and beyond to inspect every inch of the home. The inspection report he provided gave us peace of mind and there was no question we received what we paid for. Brian has mastered his craft, and it shows. If you're looking for a down to earth, hard working inspector that won't miss a thing, look no further.

From start to finish Brian demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise that truly set my mind at ease during the home buying process. He was incredibly thorough in his examination and took the time to explain his findings in detail. Not only did he answer all of my questions but also provided valuable insights regarding the condition of the home.

As a local landlord, having a trustworthy home inspector in your corner is worth its weight in gold and Brian is simply the best of the best!

Not only is he personable, detail oriented, and incredibly knowledgeable, he’s also an enthusiastic teacher with excellent communication skills. And as if that’s not enough, he is also generous with his time and talents. So much so that he met me on a chilly Saturday morning recently at a home he inspected for me six years ago recently so that we could walk through a maze of a roofing quote together.

Having been on both sides of Brian’s inspections – both as buyer and seller – I cannot recommend his services highly enough! Highly, highly recommend.

As a local Real Estate Broker in the greater Milwaukee Area- it is very important to have a home inspector on your side that knows his stuff! Realistic Home Inspections is a communicative and timely business who delivers nothing but a plethora of information regardless of the age or condition of a home. It is crucial (especially with working with out-of-state investors) to get an accurate roadmap on a property so they which direction to take with what they are buying. Realistic Home Inspections is the type of genuine business that picks up the phone and shows up for you on time. I would give them 10 stars if I could!!

Brian is incredible. This was our first time buying a house and he went above and beyond to make us feel safe and familiar with our new home. Everything was explained in detail and there was not a single tile, bannister, or pipe left un-inspected. When we had further complications with our house, he came back out and assisted, truly above and beyond! I would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and kind inspector.

There is nothing short of amazement I have for Brian and his services. He called me on the weekend to set up the appointment, almost within an hour of requesting it! He listened to my description of the house and helped filled in the blanks when I didn't know all the information. He was respectful of the property, asked all the right questions, and educated me above and beyond a regular home inspection. Brain wanted to make sure that my family had all the details about the home we want to buy and love. His years, nay, decades of experience shine through by being able to explain everything I needed to know in way I could understand. That is so tough to find! I recommend Brain for your next home inspection!

I am a first time homebuyer and I’m so glad I had Brian come and do the home inspection. He is very professional and has great attention to detail. He treated me like I was someone that he truly cared about and wanted the best for. He was very patient explaining everything to me and made sure I understood any issues and that I knew how to fix them. He also prioritized issues for me so that I didn’t have to and followed up with me to make sure things were going well. He has been an accessible resource when I thought of questions even a month after the inspection. This was money well spent, 10/10 recommend!

From initial conversation to delivery of the inspection report, we have been thrilled with our experience with Brian from Realistic Home Inspection. Brian is incredibly personable, willing to answer any and all questions. His work is very thorough; he provided a detailed inspection report complete with drone photos that was both informative and educational. The property we are purchasing is unique, and his experience in both residential and commercial construction and masonry proved incredibly helpful as he talked us through some of the maintenance that will be required over time. We're so glad we trusted our home inspection to Brian and highly recommend Realistic Home Inspection.

If there were six stars, I'd give Brian all six! Needing a new home inspector, I went Google searching for local inspectors in the area with a good reputation. The comments on Google gave me confidence Brian was worth trying and his services were worth every penny! The level of professionalism from even my first phone call that I 'might' be calling him if our home offer was accepted, to the actual inspection day, was superb. Brian talks to you, not at you, educates you while he's inspecting a home, leaves ample time for questions, leaves no section of the home unturned. He is extremely prompt with responses, courteous, adds some humor to the overall process with stories from the past, but overall, he prides himself on doing right by the potential homebuyer. Brian truly cares about people and his work - and it shows. If there was a Mike Holmes of Port Washington, Brian is it. Give him a call and you will not be disappointed. I will be using Brian for any inspection services going forward. Couldn't be happier.

Brian is the kind of home inspector that you want in your corner. Please, look no more and book Brian to inspect your home. Brian is genuine, honest, reliable, affordable, professional and most importantly punctual. Brian arrived early to our inspection, was extremely thorough throughout the entire process. To top it off, Brian was readily available at all hours of the day to respond to my follow up questions that I had. Brian will treat you like his own family member and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you again for all that you have done and continue to do!

You are in good hands with Brian! He cares a lot about his work and is is passionate about helping people learn about the knitty gritty of home ownership. He is professional and cares about building relationships with his customers. It's not JUST a business transaction to him. He is very responsive and communicates well. He made it very clear that we could ask questions during the inspection if we didn't understand something, and left the door open to future questions if they come up. He is detail oriented and explains EVERYTHING. You will come out of your home inspection with him feeling more knowledgable about seasonal home maintenance and a confident idea of what future home projects you may need to plan and budget for in the future.

Brian is as good as it gets for a home inspector. He is knowledgeable, thorough, kind, fun to be around, patient with questions, and willing to teach you. We are so thankful that our realtor referred him to us as first time homebuyers. I would highly recommend Brian's services to anyone looking to purchase a home, experienced or not. Not only is he top notch with his inspection and report, but he stays involved with the profession on a broader level and is a great connection to have overall.

Brian from Realistic Home Inspection Services was a great inspector and provided an educational experience as well as a reassuring examination of the house. We were lucky enough to not have many major issues with our house, but due to its age Brian took the time to explain what issues could have existed, or what he was really looking for with each thing he checked. He was open about his experiences with many similar homes and provided remediations that are 100% by the book, as well as the common place things people do if they do not have the expendable income to be replacing asbestos.

Travis Kalmuck
May 20, 2023

This the second time we have worked with Brian, with this being our first time getting a home inspection. We were very pleased with how thorough he was inspecting the house and his willingness to have us present and walk us through everything in real time. His report was very detailed and explained everything we needed to know in order to feel comfortable moving in. We will absolutely recommend him and would use him again in the future.

If you’re looking for a home inspector who not only is extremely passionate and thorough about his craft but also explains your home in a way you can relate to and retain? Call Brian. Nothing but peace of mind before, during, and after our inspection.

Francois Mortier
Feb 11, 2023

Brian was great!!! He always responded to me - even on a Sunday at 8 pm. He responded immediately and the inspection was scheduled within a few days. He showed up on time (was early, actually) and had his camera stick out looking at the roof. He answered all of my questions, and more. In an industry rumored to be beholden to banks or realtors, he was absolutely independent in his evaluation and recommendations. Highly recommended.

Laura Thornton

Brian Derewicz was knowledgeable, responsive, and punctual. He explained his role, and took me through the house, step by step, explaining how the systems worked, what was something to be concerned about, what was not, and recommended an excellent contractor, Accurate. Brian delivered on his promise of getting the report done the same day. His report was 72 pages plus video!!! I would describe him as meticulous, not an alarmist, and prepared (he did research the night before on permits pulled for prior jobs). He is a consummate professional. He even followed up after he'd completed his work: he well exceeded my expectations.

Brian at Realistic Home Inspection has been nothing short of amazing. His knowledge and tenacity is second to none. He explained everything he was doing and why. Being a first time homebuyer, I had plenty of questions. He answered every, single one. He genuinely cares about his job and the potential home buyers he’s working for. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a thorough, caring and knowledgeable home inspection.

Goes above and beyond for the home buyer. Does a thorough job and takes the time to explain what he sees and answers any and all questions with great detail. Highly highly recommend.

Had Brian as an inspector this last week and all I can say is best in the business. A home inspector that is there for the buyer and not for the quick paycheck. Very thorough and detailed inspection. Brian is very knowledgeable and will guide you so you have a safe and well maintained home. Wouldn't have anyone else do an inspection for me ever again. He's the best.

This is the second time we've used Brian to inspect our building. Because we are so far away he is our eyes and we feel very secure that if there are any issues we need to know about Brian will spot them when he does his inspection. He's a great communicator, thorough, timely and a joy to know.

I am a local Real Estate Agent with Redefined Realty. I met Brian for the first time last week at a Home Inspection for my Buyer. I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Being a former Mason, Brian definitely knows the industry and is great at educating buyers. I really liked is approach as he explains things very well and is not an alarmist. I was so impressed with him, that I added him to my Preferred Home Inspector list. Hopefully we can work together again!

As a first time home buyer, there's a lot to know and it can be quite intimidating. Brian makes this process as seamless as possible. He explains everything about the house in great detail, takes his time to make sure everything is checked thoroughly, and you can see how much he cares about his clients and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend going to the inspection with Brian, this alone is worth every penny (he's an entertaining guy too). Please do yourself a favor and book your next inspection with Brian! Some of the best money I've ever spent!

Bob was great. He came early and stayed late to our inspection. Was very thorough as it was our first time buying a home, and educated us on everything. Would highly recommend!

Brian was very kind, professional, and knowledgeable. The amount i learned from him was way more than i expected and gave me a deeper understanding of not just the house I'm buying, but house in general. I highly recommend him for your next home inspection.

Brian was very friendly, knowledgeable and took time to explain everything. He walked with us around and inside the house and pointed out and advised about just about everything. Would highly recommend.

We reached out to Brian on a recommendation from a friend and are so glad we did! We decided to do a home inspection on our own house to help understand if there were any glaring issues we weren't aware of and to help us focus potential home improvement projects. Brian is extremely thorough and professional, he was super responsive and did an amazingly detailed look at the house (he spent about 4 hours) and walked us through all the details we needed in terms we understood. I can't recommend him highly enough and know we will use him for any home inspection needs in the future.

Brian provides more than just a routine inspection. He goes the extra mile to provide a suggested plan to provide your home for long term existence. His attention to detail while explaining simple maintence requirements is priceless.
His provided service is well worth the value.

Amazing experience. New to the state. Brian pulled out all stops making sure I fully understood all aspects of running/maintaining a home. Professional and truly dedicated to his customers. Answered every question in great detail. Followed up to make sure we had good contact services. A great experience. I chose him based on his great reviews and I’m adding to the list. A+++

He was able to professionally to educate us on the signs of wear and tear, and inform us of tactics to prevent issues down the road.

Brian was thorough, detailed, and professional inspecting our commercial property & we felt very confident going in to our closing knowing Brian left no stone unturned. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Realistic Home Inspection any higher. As a first time home buyer, Brian walked me through every step of the process, filed very detailed reports, and gave me tips throughout the inspection. But most importantly, he made himself available to me after the inspection was complete for any additional questions and was quick, responsive, and helpful again when I reached out. Will most definitely be recommending to any one who asks.

Thank you Brian for once more giving us your excellent services,
Brian gave us the details what he was going to do, then after his inspection and report we found more than our expectation, He explains the concerns with Very detailed and thorough manner along with pictures and evidences. He pointed out concerns and observation that even someone like myself who's been in the construction field for over 32 years could not have noticed. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone for a good inspection.
