Ethics, Integrity, & Morals
Most likely you found this website from a Google Search or a friend or family member’s recommendation, as the majority of Realtor’s do not refer my company to their clients, as they feel I produce too long of a home inspection report and give too much information. I exceed the minimum reporting requirements mandated by the State of TN whenever and wherever possible to give you as much information about the home that I can. Here’s a link to a blog post that discusses this further. The People’s Home Inspector
Home Inspection Cost
My Fees for Home Inspections are based on the value that I provide. While my fees are competitive, I’m one of the higher priced Home Inspector’s in the area and I believe my Inspection Report and Online Reviews speak as to why. Not everyone needs or even wants the detailed and comprehensive style of Home Inspection that I provide, and for those who are searching for the cheapest price, I will not be your guy.

Technology Improves Home Inspections

Radon Testing is available as an additional service and is highly recommended for homes in our area. Exposure to elevated levels of Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths annually. Learn more by clicking here.

A note from KC Bartley, Owner – Professional Home Inspections
A Home Inspection is the most important and crucial step during a Real Estate transaction, as the Home Inspection Report will give you the tools to understand the condition of the home and its items and components. This information will allow you to make an educated decision, and give you the ability to renegotiate for repairs of items, or on price.
I’m a Tennessee State Licensed Home Inspector and have earned my Certified Master Inspector designation from InterNACHI, as well as being certified by the Home Inspectors of Tennessee Association as a Master Inspector. With over 23 years of experience in the Home Inspection and residential construction industries, I have the knowledge to provide you with a wealth of information relating to the home. Even with my experience, I’m constantly studying any building/construction related content I can get my hands on, and travelling to learn from the leading building professionals in the country. Being a Home Inspector isn’t just a job to me, it’s who I am. But, that’s not saying enough…Home Inspections are my PASSION! As my wife could attest, I literally live and breathe the Home Inspection industry.
I perform Home Inspections as if I’m going to move my daughters and wife into that home the next day. I report on ANY visible safety issues, installation deficiencies, areas of moisture intrusion, and/or any other piece of information that may assist you in making an educated decision. MY REPORTS ARE COMPLETELY UNBIASED, I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH ANY OTHER PARTIES TO YOUR TRANSACTION. MY ONLY OBLIGATION IS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONDITION OF THE HOME. Colossians 3:23
I encourage you to review my sample home inspection reports. There is no better indicator as to a Home Inspectors thoroughness than the produced Home Inspection Report.
Also feel free to read reviews that have been left about my services found on Google, on Facebook, and on this website. Research other Home Inspectors in the area as well, and make the decision you feel is best for you.
If I can help you in any way, feel free to reach out to me. Lastly, thank you for considering me and my company for your Home Inspection. If you choose me, I can assure you, you’ll get my very best.
Sincerely,
KC Bartley, CMI, HMI
