May I have a friend attend the inspection in my place?

2021-07-27T14:54:56-04:00By Marc Bowman|General, Home Inspections|

No, we no longer allow anyone other than our client, spouse, and children to attend the home inspection. Please do not ask a friend to attend in your place; they will not be allowed to enter the property. Permission is granted by the home owner for the inspector to enter the home; friends of the buyer(s) do not have permission to enter the home.

In addition, we will not discuss our findings with anyone other than our client and/or their real estate agent.

Not goanna lie they got the job because they are the ones who answered in a timely manner. When real-estate is involved, this is paramount. The report was also quite thorough and helpful.

We were very impressed with how quickly and easily we were able to schedule our inspection. Joshua was very professional and communicated quickly with us. On the day of inspection, we met Joshua at the property and he thoroughly reviewed the inspection and the results. He showed all items that could/would be addressed and we reviewed every individual item. This is your inspection team you want to work for you! Thank you guys for outstanding quality, service and professionalism.

What a great experience on the buyer’s side. I’m pretty good at finding things in these types of inspections, and the inspector found everything I noted and way beyond. I loved that you were very thorough and noted safety issues I was unaware existed. The inspector took time to walk me through most of their findings. I now have a great level of confidence moving forward with our purchase. Thank you!!

I know A LOT of home inspectors in Knoxville. Without hesitation I can say Tommy has put together the best and most thorough team. This company is honest, hard working, and quick. You could not receive a more detailed inspection. They saved me from losing a lot of money buying a house with tons of hidden issues. The house we purchased had a very thorough list as well that we were able to use to negotiate. I can't speak any more highly of Tommy and his team. There is a reason they have over 1000 five star reviews.
