Looking Glass Home Inspections is a Cherry Valley, MA one-inspector practice run by Chad Muzzy, offering home inspections and radon testing across Massachusetts. It carries a BBB A- rating, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. What stands out across the reviews — all 12 on file, dating from 2024 through this month, are five stars — is how many come from real estate agents rather than just buyers. Several make a point of contrasting Chad with inspectors who "scare buyers": he's described as thorough and honest without unnecessarily alarming clients, explaining findings clearly enough that first-time buyers don't panic over small fixes. One 2026 review, from an agent covering an inspection on a Worcester multifamily property, described navigating limited-access areas and challenging conditions without the process breaking down. Reviewers also describe a specific style: walking through findings as he goes rather than saving everything for the end, so buyers aren't hit with information overload at once, and turning around a complete, photo-documented report quickly. More than one client has used him twice. For a home inspection where clear communication matters as much as thoroughness — especially with first-time buyers or a tight closing deadline — Chad has built a small but consistently strong run of reviews, notably including repeated endorsements from agents who work with inspectors regularly.

I highly recommend Chad Muzzy for home inspections! As a Realtor, I really appreciate an inspector who can be thorough and honest without unnecessarily alarming buyers. Chad is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain his findings in a way that helps buyers understand the home and feel informed about what they’re purchasing. He educates rather than scares, answers questions, and makes the entire inspection process comfortable and informative. I always feel confident when my clients choose Chad for their inspection!
I recently worked with Chad while covering a home inspection for one of our agents on a multifamily property in Worcester. It was not an easy property to inspect — there were areas with limited access and plenty of conditions that made evaluating the property more challenging. Chad did an excellent job working through those constraints, thoroughly evaluating what he could access, explaining his observations clearly, and helping the buyers better understand the property they were purchasing. As a real estate broker, I work with a lot of professionals throughout a transaction, and a good home inspector is an important part of that process. After working with Chad, I’m comfortable recommending Looking Glass Home Inspections to our agents and clients and look forward to working with him again.
This is the second time I have used Chad for a home inspection, and he is a true professional. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Very knowledgeable and takes his time. As an agent I work with a lot of inspectors and some can scare buyers. Chad took his time and explained everything. Def recommend giving him a call.
Chad is very thorough and explains everything as he’s going through the whole inspection Process. He is fair priced and personable, would recommend
