Highlights
- Media-recognized — quoted repeatedly by the Boston Globe as an expert
Mt. Vernon Inspection Associates is a Danvers-area home inspection practice run by Harold Popp, who has been quoted several times by the Boston Globe and its former boston.com over the years — offering general advice on what to look for during a home tour, how to read sloped floors and small foundation cracks, and how to spot a hasty house flip. There's no customer review on file yet, so there's nothing here about what an actual inspection with him is like. What is on record is professional standing: reporters have gone to him repeatedly, across several years, as a source for home-buying advice. Worth a direct ask before booking, since the public record doesn't yet include a firsthand account of his inspections.
