HOME INSPECTION - Key Persons


Jeanne Garzi

Born and raised in Reading, MA, you would be surprised to learn that Kristen currently resides in Rochester, NH…other then her slight "Boston" accent, you probably wouldn't know that. (You have to wonder how she does that commute each day). When Kristen is not answering the phones, you will probably find her in one of four places, on a Racquetball Court, (she is even nationally ranked) spending time with the kids over at Saint Charles Children's Home, (a local orphanage in her town), relaxing by her pool with friends or in front of the TV cheering on her favorite teams. Boston Red Sox or New England Patriots, GO SOX & PATS!

John F. Koch III

Job Titles:
  • Inspector
  • Owner, Lead Inspector
Johnny was initially one of the youngest in the state to become a fully licensed home inspector. Since 2010, he has inspected thousands of homes, providing his customers with a straight forward, yet comprehensive and instructive home inspection. Johnny comes to the home inspection business with a thorough background in framing and carpentry, with an extensive understanding of the "nuts and bolts" of home systems. Johnny is proud to have worked since he could swing a hammer at the age of ten and has acquired over 15 years of experience in home construction. He graduated from Emmett O'Brien Technical School. True professionals in every sense. Thoroughly enjoyed having Home Quest do my home inspection. Took their time and provided suggestive corrective actions on any deficiencies. Extremely proficient and thorough. Gold standard. Highest of recommendations!!!! John lives in Shelton with his wife Kim and has two adult children, Jamie and Johnny. Originally from Monroe, John has spent most of his life in this area, (how can someone leave such a beautiful city?) After managing the operations of a truck parts manufacturer for nearly 17 years, John began to realize his true calling and began training for his Home Inspection career in 1994. John has inspected over 8000 homes since the mid-'90s. Ranging in age: from 300 years old to new construction and ranging in size: from 400 square foot condominiums to huge single-family homes as well as multi-family buildings. John and Johnny were amazing! From the initial call and friendly reminders to the prompt (even early) arrival to the inspection. Both of them were thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. The detailed report was emailed shortly after the inspection so we could move forward quickly which is much appreciated! Highly recommend!!

Kristen Muse

Job Titles:
  • Office Manager Scheduler
Whether you are a first time home buyer or realtor, Kristen's attention to detail and ability to "listen & hear" a caller will ensure a smooth scheduling process. Kristen will most likely try to answer the questions, and you aren't even sure you need to ask. Kristen is committed to bringing back "Old Fashioned Customer Service." She understands how important it is to speak to an actual person, rather than a machine. If you get a machine, chances are she is on the other line…so don't be surprised when she calls you back within minutes. I have been using Home Quest for over 10 years. They are very honest, thorough and knowledgeable. My clients have all been satisfied with them as well. They take their time to discuss their results in a very simple way so that the clients understand fully the issues. I recommend them highly and have used them not only for clients but for family and friends as well. They are always available to answer questions even beyond the inspection.
