Designed for home purchasers, this inspection identifies current property conditions to inform purchasing decisions. We examine structural integrity, mechanical systems, and maintenance requirements while explaining findings in practical terms. Our reports include prioritized recommendations for repairs or further evaluation, helping buyers understand their potential investment's true condition and value.

We examine workmanship quality, system functionality, and code compliance issues that may have been overlooked during construction. Our assessment helps ensure homes are fully prepared for occupancy with all systems operating correctly.

Andrew did an incredibly thorough inspection of the property I was interested in purchasing. It was super nice to have his attention to detail on the home prior to my purchase. I was not local to the area at the time, which made the purchase so much easier after he identified the issues that needed to be addressed. I am very grateful to his attention to detail and HIGHLY recommend him!!!

A thorough and comprehensive report with photos, timely service and reasonable pricing, you can't ask for more than that. Andy was great.

Andy did an excellent job of identifying not only current problems, but also communicating with us throughout the inspection process on anything that could possibly be a future problem to either correct later or keep my eye on.

I was very pleased with Reliable Real Estate Inspections. The inspection was set up through my realtor and they were very responsive and did a thorough job. Their report was easy to follow, and the seller agreed to make the repairs that were listed.

Andy will be my home inspector for all Low Country home purchases! He is thorough, explained everything so I understood, went through the property, the barn and the disasterous crawl space! Even though the sellers tried to block it off; he found a way in and discovered some critical structural deficiencies. I've been buying and selling Real Estate for over 30 years; he's the best inspector to date! I highly recommend him; you will get what you need to make a sound decision.
