Sentinel In the News
October 5, 2009: Sentinel has partnered with Roof Doctors to offer bundled home, roof and termite inspections at unbeatable prices. The combined, three-inspection package starts at just $475 for homes up to 2,000 square feet. See our services page for complete details.
"When you're buying or selling a home, you want complete peace of mind without breaking the budget," said Sentinel founder Brian Handy. "These packages help us give our clients a comprehensive picture of their property, so they can spend their time focusing on all the other details of a real estate transaction.
"Home buying and selling is one of life's most important deciscions. We're proud to help make that easier and more affordable."
MoveInCertified homes have been pre-inspected by Sentinel, an InterNACHI
certified inspector, and the sellers confirm that there
are no major systems in need of immediate repair or
replacement and no known safety hazards.
"In a very competitive housing market, this is a great tool for sellers and agents to use in order to set their listings apart," said Brian Handy, Sentinel's founder. "With a 'move-in ready' certification, buyers have the peace of mind that comes with knowing their biggest purchase will be a safe one."
The inspection reports are hosted on www.FetchReport.com. Ask the listing agent or seller for access to view.

September 1, 2008: Sentinel debuted a new website at http://www.trust-sentinel.com today. The online reference provides tips and expertise to real estate professionals. It also has a wealth of information for home buyers and sellers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"This website counters the home-inspection industry's alarming trend towards making the least effort that will satisfy lenders," said Sentinel owner Brian Handy. "Your home is far and away your biggest investment. If you don't know all the things that can go wrong, you are setting yourself up not just for headaches--but for very large potential liabilities."
Over the next several weeks, visitors to http://www.trust-sentinel.com can expect news on industry trends, tips on home inspection and a blog from Mr. Handy sharing his nearly 20 years of experience and expertise.
"There should be nothing mysterious for buyers and sellers about home inspection," said Mr. Handy. "However, there are many 'gotchas' that can arise from not knowing what questions to ask. Many people just use a friend's reference or look for the lowest-cost vendor.
I have specialized in housing throughout the Bay Area and know what to look for. I'll treat each inspection as though it were my own home."
