From the historic Tree Streets to hillside ranches and brand-new subdivisions, Brian Tankersley brings thorough inspections, certified radon testing, and same-day reports to every Johnson City home.
Johnson City is the largest city in the Tri-Cities and the heart of Northeast Tennessee. It's home to East Tennessee State University, a major regional medical community, a revitalized downtown around Founders Park, and outdoor favorites like Buffalo Mountain Park, all framed by the mountains that surround the valley. Its homes are just as varied: early-1900s bungalows and Craftsman homes in the historic Tree Streets, mid-century ranches on hilly lots across town, rental homes near campus, and new subdivisions spreading toward Gray and Boones Creek. Certified Home Inspection LLC is based just down the road in Jonesborough and serves home buyers and sellers throughout Johnson City.
Certified Home Inspection is an independent, owner-operated business, and every inspection is performed personally by Brian Tankersley, a State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277). Brian has been certified since 2017 and active in the region's home inspection industry since 2015. When you call, you talk to Brian, and he's the one who shows up, inspects your home, and writes your report.
What sets Brian apart is how he delivers his findings. He walks clients through the home, answers questions in plain language, and provides a detailed report with photographs the same day, organized so it's easy to separate routine maintenance from items that deserve a closer look. Clients say he's thorough without the scare tactics, and that approach has earned Certified Home Inspection a 5.0-star rating across 272 Google reviews.
Johnson City's homes come with their own considerations. Older homes in established neighborhoods may still have original electrical, aging plumbing, and additions built over the decades. Hilly lots make grading and drainage especially important, since water directed toward a foundation can lead to moisture in crawl spaces and basements. New construction moves fast, and even brand-new homes have defects worth catching before closing. And because radon is found in homes throughout East Tennessee, radon testing is one of the most valuable additions to any Johnson City inspection.
Whether you're a first-time buyer near ETSU, a family moving into a new subdivision, or a homeowner getting ready to sell, Brian gives you the facts you need to make a confident decision. Free consultations are available, and inspections are scheduled Monday through Saturday. Call or text Brian at 423-360-7203 to schedule your Johnson City home inspection.
