Ralph Ramsey is hands down the best inspector I've ever met.

I am an architect and used Ralph Ramsey two years ago when I bought my own house in the neighborhood. He inspected two houses and really steered me from making a horrible mistake on the first one. I'm not your average consumer as I know a lot of what to look for. That being said Ralph went the extra mile. I trust him explicitly and think he did the most thorough job I have even seen (and I have read a lot of inspection reports). Dennis Cudd- Architect

Good Evening Mr. Ramsey,

I would like to Thank You for giving us the best gift you could possibily give a first time home buyer in Horseshoe Bay ... Peace Of Mind. Your thorough inspection and willingness to show us each item that you found, helped my husband and I know that we are making a good decision. Thank you Very Much, for making our home buying process a smooth one. Best Regards, Jessica and Doug Haley

Mr. Ramsey,
I have received your Inspection Report on the house I am selling in Horseshoe Bay. In my history of buying approximately 12 homes over the past thirty years, it is by far the most complete report I have seen. As a buyer it would have saved me numerous headaches and substantial expense if I had been represented by you and your firm, 1st Choice Home Inspections. Thank you for such a complete report done in such a timely manner. We are in the process of making all both needed and suggested repairs which should make future buyer negotiations much smoother.
John Wagner-


This is the best report I have ever seen. I have had several inspections done on Austin homes I have bought and sold over the years. Why don’t all Home inspectors in Austin Tx do this good of a job?
John L. – Home Buyer

Your reports are thorough & very detailed; I will recommend your services to everyone for home inspectorsfor Austin, Texas real estate- Aletha S.- Professional Real Estate

This is the fourth home we have bought for my wife and I. This was the most thorough inspection I have seen and I am pleased to tell others about 1st Choice Home Inspections to pick for the home inspector in Austin, Texas- Dave Willeland- Home Buyer

Thanks for the quick turnaround and response for this real estate inspection. As a former Navy aviation quality assurance inspector, I was impressed by your attention to detail and willingness to jump in the trenches when inspecting my new house as my professional home inspector in Austin, Texas. I would never have thought my new house had a cracked slab! AJ Jimenez- Newly Constructed Home Buyer

I would like to share just a few words about Ralph Ramsey, 1st Choice Home Inspections and his Move-in-Certified program. My home was ready to put on the market, but unfortunately it was in December, which is (historically) the slowest time in the real estate market, not to mention the rapidly declining economy and dropping home values.

Move In Certified provides the distinguishing benefit of having a Move-in-Certified sign in front of the home( if not restricted), the added marketing visibility of the home being listed on his Move-in-Certified web sites , a contact link to the listing Real Estate Professional & office, an inspection report available to all and a notice of the listing to every real estate professional on 1st Choice Home Inspections contact list, which is over 2000 licensed real estate professionals, property investors and growing. I made the report available to my agent and displayed a copy in the home at the kitchen for the prospective buyers to look at during the showings. The couple that ended up purchasing my home waived having an inspection performed; I believe due to the recent inspection report, which gave them peace of mind and saved them the cost of paying for another inspection.
I also know that the Move-in-Certified sign in the front yard and listing on the Move In Certified website set my home apart from the other 5 homes for sale in the neighborhood.

In my professional opinion, this is an excellent program that really puts Ralph
& 1st Choice Home Inspections above his competition, Randy Hagemo, Texas Professional Inspector
