Every Property Tells a Story A Licensed Home Inspector Reads It
Buying your first home in Amherst, listing a property in Northampton, or weighing a multi-family building in Greenfield? A home inspection is the best tool you have for knowing what you're actually dealing with. It isn't a pass-or-fail grade. It's a clear picture of the house, so nothing about it surprises you after closing.
Ken Arnold is an independent home inspector in Massachusetts (License #587). He works for you, not the seller, the agent, or the lender. That independence shows up in the report: it says exactly what he found, backed by annotated photos, plain-language explanations, and clear next steps. After 22 years inspecting homes across the Pioneer Valley, Ken has seen most of what these houses tend to hide, and he doesn't skip the parts that are easy to miss.
