Home inspections can help you buy or sell your home with confidence. As trained professionals we have seen it all, and we’ll provide invaluable help in turning you into a knowledgeable consumer. Home owners can identify problems in the making and take preventive measures to avoid costly repairs. Sellers can understand conditions the buyer’s inspector may point out and put the property in better selling condition by making repairs.

Buyer’s Inspections

Whether you’re buying your home on your own or using a real estate agent, it’s always a prudent idea to have a professional home inspection.  Knowledge is power.  All homes have strengths and weaknesses: we help you understand how serious the problems are and which must be immediately addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation.

Can’t wrong with Steve! I’m a first time home buyer and he took his time to walk me through every part of the house in detail and answer questions about how things work, when they will need maintenance, etc. He was also EXTREMELY thorough which is what I wanted. He’s also personable and has a lot of expertise. Highly highly recommend!

My experience with Nations Home Inspections was amazing. We had a pretty quick close so we needed to get Steve out here to perform an inspection and quickly turn around the report. His inspection was thorough to say the least. He likes to have you walk through the house with him as much as possible so he can give you information and/or tips regarding immediate concern areas and/or potential concern areas. He's not afraid to get dirty or go into tight spaces to look and make sure he's given the whole house a thorough rundown. After the inspection was done and the report issued, Steve told us to contact him should something come u. Sure enough, the service after the inspection didn't stop there. Once we closed on the house, we decided to tear up some carpet to replace with wood floors. After the carpet was torn up we noticed some potential issues with the floor underneath and potentially the basement ceiling below that Steve would not have been identified during a normal inspection. Steve was responsive and came over, NO CHARGE, and performed an inspection on the floor and ceiling. To our relief there was no issues but Nations Home Inspection was a steal in regards to value and service. HIGHLY recommend.

Steve Nations is a thorough and professional home inspector. I understand most home inspections occur within a week of signing the home purchase agreement, and Steve was at the location performing the home inspection within 2 business days of engaging him.Our inspection report is 19 pages in length and he uncovered many minor issues, which we will work on after the purchase is complete.Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. We are very fortunate to have Steve to inspect the condo we are interested. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He made us aware of many unexpected issues both interior and exterior of the unit. His report was very easy to understand and had price tags for most of the repair items, which helped a lot when negotiating with the seller. Steve provides great service. Even few weeks after we received the inspection report, he still answered us a lot of new questions tirelessly. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who have home inspection needs.
