Find a home inspector you can trust with Bartee Inspections
While home inspections are typically used by home buyers, you — as the seller — also have a lot riding on this transaction. Renegotiations after an inspection may result in you needing to make repairs, a reduction in the price, or if more serious issues are discovered, revocation of the offer from the buyer.
Put yourself in a stronger position for negotiations, and maximize your sale price, by having your home inspected before listing it on the market. If you choose to make repairs before listing, you'll have plenty of time. Fix issues at your leisure, with no looming deadlines.
Go into negotiations with more control and ensure a quicker, smoother transaction. Findings from a buyer's inspection can catch you off guard, just as it can the buyer. If that happens, then you'll be under pressure to correct the problem quickly or lower the price. If a major problem is discovered, or negotiations break down, then the transaction is in jeopardy. And when a deal falls through, no one wins.
Many strangers will be entering your home during the selling process, some more respectful than others. You can rest assured that we respect your time and property as though it were our own. We strive to always be on time and take every precaution to avoid causing any damage to your property. By the time we are finished, it should be as though we were never even there.
It's your home. You probably know it inside and out. However, you might underestimate or not even notice some issues. A home inspection is still incredibly helpful because a home inspector is trained to notice things that most people won't. Your home inspector also has a lot of experience to draw on when assessing any problems they encounter.
Although normally used for home buyers, pre-listing inspections are becoming more common.
As the seller, there a few things you can do to prepare for the inspection. Being prepared will help the inspection go smoothly and increase your home's appeal to potential buyers.
This may be stating the obvious, but it's imperative that your house is as clean as possible. Not only does this increase your home's appeal, but it also helps the inspector by making it easier to move around and access various areas of interest.
Utilities need to be connected so the inspector can test things like water flow, electrical outlets, water heaters, furnace, air conditioning, and so on. Without the utilities connected, the home inspector will have no choice but to either reschedule or suggest inspection by a specialist.
Appliances that are not connected to water, power, oil, or gas cannot be turned on by the home inspector. All appliances should be working properly, and abandoned appliances should be removed.
In the Winter, try to provide a path around your house. In the Summer, clear away any overgrowth or dead branches that come into contact with the home.
This may seem silly, but make sure the house number is visible from the street. People are going to need to check out the house, so you'll want to make sure they can find it without any trouble.

I highly recommend Jeff for your home inspection needs. He is extremely patient, communicative, and understanding. I've had to reschedule on him a few times due to a meter installation issue. Not only is he pleasant to work with, he truly has the clients best interest in mind. I cannot recommend him enough! He is genuinely an honest man of integrity. Thank you, Jeff!
We trust Bartee Inspections very much and he did a very detailed and accurate report on our home. They are a Godly company and we really appreciate them for all their help. Great place to go with to get Inspections done. Highly recommend!
I've had at least 5 home inspections done in my life and I've been there for each one. This was different. Jeff is not only thorough but knowledgeable as well. All too often home inspectors will say what they think you want to hear. Jeff talks facts. I also learned a lot from tagging around during the inspection. If you want to know the REAL status of your pending home purchase, call Jeff. I know I'll use him again when I buy another property.
Google reviews is what lead us to call Jeff and we wanted to make sure this review was 100% trustworthy 😀.
We trusted Jeff with our request and his return to us was outstanding. His attitude and personality is something we have missed by living in Dallas and it was fantastic getting that down home feel during an extremely stressful and exciting time of purchase on our dream home in the country. I will always suggest Jeff Bartee to anyone we meet.
Very thorough and report was clean and easy to understand (with pictures!). Spoke with us before setting up and followed up after report to make sure we didn't have any questions. Very professional and courteous.
Jeff Bartee does a wonderfully detailed job with his inspections! He finds the big problems, the potential problems, and the smallest detailed problems. This is wonderful for my buyers AND sellers. The buyers feel like they can have confidence that they know which repairs they need to request from the sellers and that they can close on their home knowing exactly what they are getting. When sellers have the inspection done before listing, they can know exactly what to fix before a buyer has a chance to come in and start making requests. Jeff's eye for detail has been greatly appreciated in many deals he and I have worked on together. He's always my 1st call!
Would recommend Jeff to anybody looking for a home inspection. He was very thorough and detailed with both pointing out the deficiencies and recommended plan of action. Report was also provided in a very organized and easy to present manner for post contract repair negotiations. Thanks Jeff!

Jeff responded very quickly to my clients' need for a quick inspection. Jeff was very thorough. His report to me was very clear with pictures and explanations. His program allows an agent to create a repair request very quickly. You can select the issues that you want resolved or a monetary credit to buyer and create the report at the click of a button with the pictures and explanations from the inspector. I have never seen this ability for agents through the inspector's report.
Jeff was so nice and helpful through the inspection process. I submitted a request online and he got ahold of me quickly to get the appointment booked. His report was ready quickly and was very thorough! We highly recommend Jeff!
Jeff was excellent! He was able to fit me in unexpectedly and was super patient with all my questions and concerns as a first-time buyer. You may positive suggestions to ensure the integrity in my house. And was quick to respond and send appropriate information to attending parties. I would definitely be using his service in the future when given the opportunity.
Jeff was very friendly and observant about the home I had him inspect. It wasn't just "Here are the issues, have a nice day". Jeff went through each issue he noticed, whether as small as a screw placed wrong to as big as ventilation improperly installed. He was very open to questions and went to show me the issue rather than just explain it. He pointed out things that might've been small to others but still made sure I knew about the issue(s). I trusted his opinion and made my first home inspection very easy and understandable. Definitely will recommend Jeff to my friends, and for any other future inspections, I may need! A+++
Bartee Inspection is the only company to contact for an inspection!! Very through and communicates with you ever step of the way, even makes sure you understand the inspection report. Answers any questions you may have. Sincerely appreciate doing business with Bartee!!!
Jeff was wonderful to work with. We did our inspection for our personal information so that we know what needs to be fixed in our rental property. Jeff kindly worked with our tenants and got us the information we needed to move forward.
Highly recommend Jeff. Very detailed in his inspection and discussions with the buyers. He was extremely professional at all times. After finishing his inspection, he described everything to the buyers, never rushing the conversation. Having used several inspectors in past years , they are not even in the same league. Jeff was absolutely the best!!

I used Bartee Inspections for a 1500 sq ft, 3 br, house. It was clear that Jeff is one who is believes in being as thorough as possible. He showed up on time, was efficient with his work, and explained his results thoroughly. Its clear to me that the quality of his work is paramount to him. Hopefully, I am through buying homes, but if I do, Bartee Inspections will be the ones to do the inspection.
Jeff did a great job with our home inspection. He helped to explain everything in lots of detail so that I was well informed about the home I was interested in purchasing. He made sure to answer all my questions. Definitely would recommend.
