about us
The first thing you should know about Home Quest is that we identify with our clients.
We are long-time residents
of the area and appreciate just how much the quality of life means in this neck of the woods.
So there is a special
responsibility that John, our inspector, feels in providing the very best inspection to potential new residents of Fairfield
and New Haven Counties.
Moreover, we’re a family-owned business located in Shelton, not a cookie-cutter franchisee
of a national company. So our success is totally dependant on what our neighbors think of our work. That is why we approach
each inspection with the desire to make it especially insightful for clients, with the hope that the word spreads about our
efforts.
We also believe in making you as wise as possible about being a consumer of Home Inspection services.
So we invite you to visit any or all of the following sites to learn more about what makes a good inspector:

John F. Koch III
John lives in Shelton with his wife Kim and their 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 area?) 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.
Since the mid 90’s John has inspected over 4200
homes ranging in age from 300 years old to new construction and ranging in size from 400 square foot condominiums to very
large single family homes as well as multi-family buildings.
John’s complete understanding of homes,
how they are built and how they operate, his attention to detail, thoroughness and honesty is what makes him an easy choice
when deciding on an inspector. Not to mention his professionalism and respect of the home itself and its owners is rare
(
wait till you see the booties)
An avid outdoorsman with a high on life John thrives on helping
his clients to make sure their dream home doesn’t turn into a nightmare.

Kristen Muse
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, 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 then a machine. If you get a machine, c
hances are she is on
the other line…so don’t be surprised when she calls you back within minutes.
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!
