Buying a Home is an Emotional Experience

It's far too easy to become attached to a home. We're here to provide you with an independent, professional opinion so you can make the right choice.

A home inspection is an objective visual inspection of the physical structure and systems of the home. The inspection will arm you with detailed, unbiased information.

We'll uncover building defects, necessary repairs, safety hazards, and preventative maintenance issues that could cost you a lot of money down the road. We'll also help you understand which problems are major, and which problems can be corrected inexpensively.

Hire a Home Inspector Who Has Your Best Interests in Mind

You probably won't get to meet your home inspector before hiring them, so it's important to find someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and properly certified. Make sure you're hiring a home inspector who has your best interests in mind.

We have over 20 years of experience in construction and home repair and have the knowledge to ensure that you're armed with the best information possible.

We also encourage our clients to be present for the inspection, where we'll educate and familiarize you with your new home.

Reveal the Unknown with a Sewer Scope Inspection

The sewer line from your home to the sewer system or septic tank is impossible to inspect with a standard home inspection. Issues with this sewer line can be incredibly expensive to repair, so it is crucial to make sure the sewer lateral is in good condition before purchasing a property.

A sewer scope inspection, the newest offering from Edward Inspections, uses modern technology to give you an inside look at the sewer lateral on your property. We can offer a first-hand look at any potential obstructions, holes, cracks, separated pipes, or issues caused by roots.

We offer sewer line cleanouts for both residential and commercial properties.

A Home Inspection Is about More than Saving Money

You could save thousands of dollars by knowing exactly what you're buying. We'll uncover potential issues with the home — before they become your problem.

Any one of these problems can turn a home into a money pit, or even put your family in danger. That's where we come in. A professional home inspection from Edward Inspections will help put your mind at ease and make the buying process easier.

Look at Lacy Real Estate

I looked into buying two homes in Memphis. This is my first time buying a real estate investment property in Memphis. EHIC did an amazing job with the inspection. Their inspection reports were very thorough and comprehensive. Marvin spoke with me over the phone afterwards to walk me through the repair requests to send over to the seller. Whenever I buy another home in Memphis, I will definitely be going through EHIC. Highly recommended. They do business the right way: one customer at a time.

Victoria S.

If I could give Marvin more than 5 Stars, I would. Marvin worked diligently on inspecting our future home and took the time to make sure that we understood exactly what he was documenting and why. If an issue was discovered, he not only displayed an exceptional knowledge of building and local codes, but was also able to provide practical repair options and legitimate repair costs. Marvin has a wealth of knowledge not just of home inspection, but also of real estate, home repair, and project management. Throughout the course of the inspection, and days following, Marvin was able to provide sound insights on all of our questions from contract negotiation to our remodeling ideas and everything in between. I can not say enough about this experience. Use Marvin and you will not be disappointed.

Best experience I ever had and I thank Mr. Marvin for going over things. I also wanna thank him for answering my questions and taking his time. I recommend him any day of the week.

It was an awesome experience for me. This is my first home I'm in the process of buying and Marvin Dear made what he do look so easy. He explained everything to me in a way I can understand. He took me step by step, He was very professional and well manner. And I really appreciate everything he done. Thanks Marvin Dear.

Kadara R.

First off, you should know I'm picky. I like to ask a lot of questions and I dont accept 'I dont know' as an answer. When I hired Marvin Dear, I was taking a leap of faith, both as a first time home buyer and as a transplant to Memphis. To say I was not disappointed is an understatement.

First off, Marvin is knowledgable. Having spent years in reparation of homes under what I can assume was extremely knowledgable tutalidge, he knew exactly what he was looking at and for every step of the way. He was happy to explain the ins and outs of everything he looked for and how our own house applied every step of the way.

Secondly, he was thorough. There was no point of the property he didnt climb through or up to to make sure our first home was sound and safe many years to come. He gave us pointers about upkeep and ran us through what the original builders did and why they did things the way they did.

Lastly, Marvin was as personable as they come. He was friendly and professional and fun to be around. I didnt know a inspection could be such a wonderful experience, but sometimes people surprise me in the best ways.

Parting ways, I felt as if Marvin was a family friend. He was interested in making sure we would be safe and happy in our new home and I would be glad to utilize his expertise in the future.

Dont know of Edwards Home Inspections? That's okay! Let his reviews do the talking because I can assure you, you won't be disappointed! This is the kind of care you can come to expect from someone who has a personal stake in the wellbeing of your home.

Casey D.

Amazing company! The inspector showed up on time, was very professional, very thorough, very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. The report was very detailed and well put together, that included clear digital images and an easy to follow outline of the work that was done.

As a single woman purchasing a home, and maybe not knowing all the ins and outs of what to expect, I felt as though I was in the hands of a family member, who was personally making sure I was equipped to make the best possible decision going forth. This experience was awesome and the service, phenomenal! This company truly went above and beyond for me and provided the peace of mind needed to proceed in my closing with confidence. This is my first home, and Edwards Inspection will certainly get the job for my next one!

Kristina F.

Home inspections can be intimidating when you are depending on the results of a stranger to determine if the dream house you have been looking at is truly "good enough". Marvin Dear walked me through each step and explained his findings. He was professional and extremely thorough when completing the evaluation. The final report was easy to read with clear pictures and notes in different font color to highlight the troubled areas. I made a great investment by choosing Marvin.

Kristina R.

Service and inspection was above and beyond. I highly recommend Edwards Home Inspection and Marvin Dear!
