Owner and inspector of Certified Home Inspection LLC — a State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector helping Northeast Tennessee home buyers and sellers see the whole picture since 2017.
Brian Tankersley is the owner of Certified Home Inspection LLC and the inspector behind every report. A State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277), Brian has been certified since 2017 and active in Northeast Tennessee's home inspection industry since 2015. Certified Home Inspection is an independent, owner-operated business based in Jonesborough, so when you schedule an inspection, Brian is the one who shows up, inspects your home, and writes your report.
Brian's philosophy is simple: inspect each home with the utmost care, be thorough, and explain the findings clearly to every client. He walks clients through the home to show them what he found, answers questions in plain language, and delivers a detailed report with photographs the same day. His reports are organized so it's easy to tell routine maintenance from items that deserve a closer look. Clients often describe him as a teacher as much as an inspector, and he does it all without the scare tactics some inspectors bring to the process.
Brian's work centers on general home inspections for buyers and sellers, along with radon testing, which he strongly recommends for homes across East Tennessee. He also performs pre-listing, new construction, 11-month builder's warranty, manufactured home, four-point, foundation, and HUD inspections. Free consultations are available, and Brian schedules inspections Monday through Saturday from Jonesborough to Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and throughout the region.
Brian doesn't just inspect a home — he helps you understand it. Here's what a few of his clients have to say.
"Brian did the home inspection when we bought our house a few years ago. Our roof is getting over 15 years old and we added a large awning over the deck so we had him do a roof inspection update this time. As usual it was very good with suggestions on the awning to roof tie in. Great information on all things roof and attic related. As always with Brian. I call it his home inspections 'House U'."
"Brian Tankersley did a home inspection for me and did an excellent job. He was very thorough and took time to explain to me what he found and the implications of the findings. I don't believe anyone could have done a better job and he provided the information I needed to make a good decision about the purchase. I highly recommend this company."
"Brian did a wonderful job inspecting our new home, he was very thorough and professional in dealing with us, and his report was extremely easy to read and understand. It was definitely a good experience working with him and would highly recommend his service to anyone! Our building supervisor even went so far as to comment on how thorough Brian was during his inspection, as well as, his report was one of the better ones he had seen."
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, and it's easy to fall in love with the location or the view before you know what's behind the walls. Certified Home Inspection exists to give you that missing information — impartially, clearly, and without pressure.
That means a complete inspection, a same-day report you can actually understand, and an inspector who takes the time to answer your questions long after he leaves the driveway. No alarmism, no cutting corners — just the facts you need to make a confident decision.
