For many first-time buyers, the useful part of an inspection is understanding what the findings mean. Recent customers say Brennen and Alex walk them through the house, distinguish normal conditions from issues to watch, and answer questions in plain language. First Look Home Inspection is based in Haverhill and serves buyers with home inspections and detailed written reports. Across 150 reviews from 2022 through 2026, the latest 20 are all positive. A June customer with construction experience said Brennen caught several things they would have missed; another June customer praised a detailed report with pictures. An August first-time buyer described the report as clear and informative, and a repeat customer said Brennen had inspected two homes for them in Eastern Massachusetts. The Massachusetts home-inspector license 1091-HI-1 and New Hampshire license 00585 are both active on their state registries. Google's rating line shows 5 stars from zero ratings, while dated Google Reviews are present; the separate Thumbtack profile reports 5.0 stars from 29 ratings. If you book, ask whether Brennen or Alex will lead the visit and when to expect the report; one June customer said theirs arrived within hours.
Brennan inspected a couple of homes for me as a first time home buyer. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his inspections and the final reports he shared were very informative, detailed and clear. I would recommend Brennan’s services every time.
They were extremely objective, thorough, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
This is the second time we have had Brennen Swanson perform a home inspection for us in our journey in purchasing a home in Eastern Massachusetts. Again his services were exemplary. The home was advertised as being meticulously maintained and indeed appeared so in our first walkthrough. We called Brennen for a standard inspection and he uncovered significant issues that, had we not known, could have resulted in substantial downstream costs. In fact, I would recommend his inspection services for diligent homeowners who want to uncover and address latent issues before they grow into major problems as a part of periodic preventative maintenance. He is top notch.
Alex was such a helpful home inspector. He talked us through everything he was doing and reassured us when findings were normal, which was so nice as first time home buyers! The inspection report he provided at the end was very thorough, I’d highly recommend him!
Professional, thorough and informative. Going through the process of purchasing a home can be difficult. For Brennen’s part, he made it smooth and understandable.
