3. REALTORs will better understand what information should be in the Home Inspection report which will prepare REALTORs to discuss the report with their Client. The Client will then be able to understand the report and make a better decision regarding the real estate transaction.
4. REALTORS will be better able to assess a home early on and spot those issues that can be troublesome in a Home Inspection. This will save you time and money!

Nashville Home Inspection - Electrical Installation - What's Wrong With This Picture? 12-14-11
HINT: Junction boxes should be used for junctions.
ANSWER: Junction boxes should be used to house any junction of electrical conductors, or wires. But, junction boxes, like the one in the picture above, should not be used to rig an outlet so one can plug in an extension cord. So there is a lot wrong with this picture. Junction boxes should be used only for conductor junctions and the box should be closed after the wires are joined and inserted. Outlets should be housed in outlet electrical boxes with that appropriate cover plate. Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring. If you need permanent wiring, call an electrician and have a dedicated circuit put in. The installation in the picture above is a fire or electrocution waiting to happen.
Thank you,
Richard Acree

These home were both Inspected by HABITEC! We have inspected from 1000 sqft up to 9000 sqft (photo above, right), and from new to over 100 years old! Please call us at 615-376-2753. Thank you!
From Hal H: Since our house was built in 1897 and has original, modern and recently constructed portions, it was a real challenge for an Inspector.HABITEC's expertise and thoroughness was what we neededThey did a great job and found important issues we needed to know about. I highly recommend them!
From Stephan F: The HABITEC inspector did a great job when he inspected my house. He was prompt, thorough, professional and courteous. He found some discrepancies I was not aware of and showed me how to get them fixed. Their report was excellent! I especially liked the digital photos. The photos made clear exactly what the discrepancies were and where they were located.I would be pleased to recommend HABITEC to anyone for their residential home inspection.
From Owen E: The guys at HABITEC Home and Building Inspections have helped me a lot during 2007. They Inspected the construction of my new home in different phases of construction and found numerous items the builder had overlooked. Finally they inspected the new house before we closed and found more mistakes by the builder. Their report made it obvious what needed to be fixed and the builder got right on it. Now we have moved in and we love the house. I am sure they saved me a lot of headaches. They also looked at the house [a Home Inspector's Review] I was selling and told me what I needed to do to bring it up to speed to sell it. The sale went well and we had little to do for the closing. Again HABITEC saved me time and money! Anybody building, buying or selling a house in Middle Tennessee should call HABITEC in first. You'll come out way ahead!
