A recent customer said Sean caught an elevated radon reading using a 48-hour continuous monitor rather than a quick spot check, and also flagged structural details like rafter cracks. Anchor Home Inspection Services describes itself as an Auburn-based Massachusetts home inspection company offering property, air quality, pool, wood-destroying-insect and radon inspections across Worcester County and listed Boston-area communities, and says it was founded and is owner-operated by Sean O'Keefe. The Massachusetts home inspector license 1037-HI-1, held by Sean E O'Keefe, is active on the state registry. On Google it holds 5 stars from 110 ratings. A recent customer who called Sean to have a pool inspected said he responded immediately and came out right away. A recent pre-offer consultation customer said Sean coordinated schedules over a busy summer weekend to meet in Melrose that Monday. A recent customer said they got the report the very next day, and a first-time buyer said they received the report the same evening. A recent customer wrote "Very reasonable pricing." In 2022, a customer buying a condo said Sean took the time to explain how furnaces and gas burning stoves work. A 2022 customer facing a tight timeframe said Sean rearranged his schedule to accommodate them and showed up early. A 2025 customer said Sean arrived much earlier to get familiar with the property, and cited his background in construction.
I had a great experience working with Sean O’Keefe. He was professional, thorough, and easy to work with throughout the home inspection. His services were fairly priced, and I would gladly use him again and recommend him to others.
Sean was great! Efficient, detailed in his search. Seemed to look at all things necessary so we feel confident in our purchasing the home. He was right on time as was scheduled. Communication was incredible, we got a report the very next day. Thank you Sean for a great job. Comes highly recommended! N&J
Sean’s professionalism was great! I needed a pool inspector and he delivered. Thank you!
Sean's inspection of our home was some of the most thorough, careful work we've encountered in this whole process. He didn't just check boxes. He genuinely dug into the property, and his findings mattered. He caught an elevated radon reading using a proper 48-hour continuous monitor rather than a quick spot check, giving us real, defensible data to act on before closing. He also flagged structural details like rafter cracks that a less careful inspector might have glossed over. What made Sean stand out even more was how he communicated all of it. He walked us through his findings in plain, understandable language instead of burying us in jargon, and his written report was clear and well-organized, which made it easy to prioritize what actually needed attention versus what was minor. Buying a home is stressful enough without wondering if your inspector actually did a good job. With Sean, we never had that doubt. Highly recommend him to anyone buying in the area who wants an inspector who takes the job seriously.
Sean was fabulous! Answered all of our questions and was extremely kind! Will be recommending him to our friends and family!!
