Property Inspections

A significant part of the buying and selling process revolves around inspections. In 2006, Tennessee passed the Home Inspection Licensing Program law. With this law comes a standard of practice, education and exams for the inspectors, and a code of ethics. This was all put into place so buyers know that they’re educated on the full scope of the property.

Who Would Want a Property Inspection?

Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, it’s recommended to order a property inspection. Though not a requirement in Tennessee, you can learn a lot about a place through an inspection. This holds true for both commercial and residential real estate.
