Know exactly what you're buying. A complete, top-to-bottom inspection from a State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector, with a clear report and photos the same day.
A general home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation of a home's accessible systems and components, from the roof and attic down to the foundation. It's the core of what Certified Home Inspection does, and it's performed personally by Brian Tankersley, a State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277) who has been certified since 2017.
Brian inspects the roof, exterior, structure, attic, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, water heater, windows, doors, and interior of the home. You're welcome to walk along, and he'll show you what he finds as he goes. Afterward, you receive a detailed report with photographs the same day, organized so you can easily tell routine maintenance from items that deserve a closer look.
Most clients add radon testing to their home inspection, since radon is a real concern in homes across East Tennessee and a test is the only way to know a home's level.
A thorough inspection gives you the facts while you still have time to act.
Roof, plumbing, electrical, and structural issues that aren't obvious on a showing.
Documented findings help you ask for repairs or credits before closing.
A detailed, photo-filled report delivered the day of your inspection.
Brian explains what he found, without the scare tactics.
It's easy to fall in love with a home's location, style, or view and overlook what's behind the walls. Aging roofs, slow plumbing leaks, outdated electrical panels, and moisture problems are often invisible to buyers, and discovering them after closing means paying for them yourself.
Northeast Tennessee's housing ranges from historic homes in towns like Jonesborough and Greeneville to mid-century neighborhoods in Johnson City and Kingsport and new construction across the region. Each comes with its own common issues, and Brian's experience helps him know where to look.
Because most purchase agreements include a short inspection period, Brian works to schedule quickly and delivers your report the same day, so you have as much time as possible to make your decision.
Every general home inspection covers the home's major systems and components.
It depends on the size, age, and condition of the home. Brian takes the time each home needs to inspect it thoroughly, and he'll give you a time estimate when you schedule.
Yes, and we encourage it. Brian will walk you through the home and show you what he finds.
Your detailed report with photographs is delivered the same day as the inspection.

Nearly every home has findings. Brian helps you understand which items are routine maintenance and which deserve further evaluation, so you can decide how to proceed with your agent.
