Goldeneye Home Inspections is a one-person operation out of Lynn, run by Derek, who says he's been inspecting homes on Boston's North Shore since 2010 and has completed more than 2,000 inspections. He's a Massachusetts Licensed Home Inspector (#1057), a Board Certified Master Inspector, an InterNACHI member, and carries certifications as a radon tester and a NEPMA wood-destroying-insect inspector — the kind of paperwork that matters when a termite letter or a radon reading can affect a closing. The number that stands out is 112 Google ratings, every one of them five stars. The individual reviews back that up: over the last six months, first-time buyers keep describing the same experience — Derek walking them through the house and explaining what he's finding in plain language rather than jargon. One buyer in June said he took the time to explain things as a first-time homebuyer; another in April, who called on short notice, got a full written report back the same day. That's not a new pattern either — across all 40 reviews on record going back to 2021, the tone holds steady positive, without a negative review turning up. There isn't much to flag: no negative reviews turned up in the last six months or across the full history, and the read here leans almost entirely on Google — other outlets didn't turn up anything to weigh against it. For a straightforward pre-purchase home inspection, with radon or wood-destroying-insect testing folded in, this is a solo outfit where the owner shows up every time rather than a rotating crew. Book directly with Derek and confirm up front whether radon or WDI testing needs to be scheduled as an add-on to the main inspection.

Derek was a great home inspector and really took the time to explain things to me as a first time home buyer. I feel confident in his inspection and really appreciated his friendly and professional attitude. If you need something on the north shore inspected, you can't go wrong with goldeneye.

Very responsive and able to reach over the phone. Conducted a very detailed inspection of the home and was very thorough in his findings and explanations. Very trustworthy and would recommend Dereck for home inspections.

Derek was a fantastic home inspector. We needed someone at short notice and he was able to accommodate us. His inspection was extremely thorough and he walked me through everything as it was happening, explaining his results in easy terms for me to understand. He gave me the detailed written report that same day. Also, he was super friendly and easy to talk to. I highly recommend him! I’d use him again in a heartbeat.

I came to hire Derek through a friend’s recommendation and I’m so glad I did. I was the last one to arrive at the property and as soon as I walk in I get told to step back because he was documenting an unevenness in the floor. After he was done documenting, we then shook hands and introduced ourselves and by then I was already sure he was the guy I wanted going my phone inspection. He showed great dedication and thoroughness in the doing the inspection and made sure to tell me details and recommendations about all items he found needed attention in the house. And boy did he find things I would have never thought off. This inspection was for my first home purchase so I really appreciate Derek making me feel as he was looking out for one of his own and he wanted to make sure I made the most informed decision possible about the condition of the house. Definitely will hire Derek for future inspection and recommend to family.
