           Home Buyers

As of July 1, 2006 the State of Tennessee requires all Home Inspectors to obtain a Home Inspectors License and carry General Liability Insurance, as well as Errors and Omission Insurance.  For your protection be sure the Inspector you hire is fully Licensed and Insured.

 

           Home Sellers

Many home sellers have their home professionally inspected before listing it for sale. Early detection and correction of any problems can increase a home’s appeal and market value and simplify the negotiation and closing process.

 

      Realtors & Brokers

Most professional Real Estate Brokers and Realtors will suggest having a home inspection performed prior to closing. Many will even refer an inspector they have used in the past. Before hiring an inspector that was referred to you, I recommend doing your own investigating and ask some very important questions. Is the inspector licensed? Is the inspector in an association such as ASHI? Is the inspector insured? Not only am I licensed, insured and a member of the oldest and most respected Home Inspection Association, ASHI. I am also a member of the Better Business Bureau. Proving my stability and reliability as a home inspector.

FAQ

 

What is a home inspection?  

A home inspection can be defined as an investment in peace of mind. Spending a few hundred dollars for a home inspection now, could save you thousands of dollars in the long run. A home inspection will provide you with detailed information concerning the property and point out any safety hazards that may exist. A home inspection can also pin point any major system or component that is defective, not functioning properly, is in need of repair, or is near the end of it's useful life.

 

 

EVERY HOUSE 

   HAS A STORY          

     

 

 

 

  

      What does a home inspection include? 

A home inspection will report on the entire home, from the roof to the foundation. It will include the condition of the home’s heating system; air conditioning system; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, crawlspace,  basement and structural components; gutters and downspouts; grading; and exterior finishes.

      

       Why do I need a home inspection?

Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected difficulties, you’ll want to learn as much as you can about the newly constructed or existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights, as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will know more about the house, which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
