I am a Alberta certified home inspector for a top home inspection company and have had the pleasure to work with Virin on a few occasions, his professional attitude and knowledge of the space is exceptional and should be a bar set by all realtors to match. It was a pleasure and I look forward to a long professional relationship with him and his company in the future. Thanks for being so professional and prompt with all requests.
