## The honest read

Marte Home Inspections is a one-inspector operation based in Boston, run by Ramon Marte, and the thing reviewers describe most often is how early he starts — arriving ahead of the scheduled time to walk the exterior before anyone else shows up.

Google shows 4.9 stars from 71 ratings and BBB gives the company an A+, and the written reviews across 53 entries since 2021 tell a consistent story: a slow, room-by-room walkthrough with running commentary, followed by a report — usually with photos — delivered within a few hours rather than days. Real estate agents who refer him repeatedly say the same thing clients do: he explains what he's looking at and why it matters, not just what he found. First-time buyers in particular mention feeling talked through the process rather than handed a form.

He's built a base of repeat business — one review describes using him three times over 24 months, another twice, and a few describe using him as both a buyer's and a seller's inspector on different transactions. A couple of reviews mention a home maintenance manual he provides after the inspection, meant as an ongoing reference rather than a one-time document.

One thing worth knowing: in an October 2024 review, a buyer said Marte was biased toward getting the deal done and downplayed what he found — describing a fence flagged for "2-3 panels" of rot that turned out to need 11 panels replaced and a retaining wall once they moved in. It's the one clearly negative account among the reviews on file, and it's specifically about how thoroughly issues were called out rather than about scheduling or communication.

For a pre-purchase or resale inspection where an early start and a same-day explained report matter, the reviews point to Marte as a strong option — it's worth asking directly how findings translate into repair scope, given the one account above.

**Strengths:**
- Arrives early — starts the exterior walkthrough ahead of time
- Fast reports — detailed findings with photos within hours
- Patient explainer — walks first-time buyers through every finding
- Repeat business — agents and past clients rehire him

**Concerns:**
- Downplayed findings — one buyer said issues were understated
