Since it was a substantial purchase and commitment, I wanted the best, most thorough home inspector around. When my realtor advised that "realtors hate KC Bartley," I knew he was the one! He is one of the most kind, thorough, and genuine humans that you will ever meet. He gives a 1000% honest assessment no matter if it leads to a broken deal or an angry seller and/or realtor. At this point, I have used KC for almost 5 years and his honesty and consistency has remained steadfast, KC is the definition of integrity. Additionally, KC possesses an arsenal of specialized tools and equipment to aid and amplify his assessment. From entire homes to focal inspections, KC is 100% your guy, I can't say enough goodness about KC and Professional Home Inspections. read less Chasity Huffman11/30/2022 - Mr. Bartley was dependable.

We are impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. We take care of our home and having a great inspector ensures we know exactly what we are buying. Thank you KC for your hard work and attention to detail. Unfortunately we experienced a problem with the realtors here in Kingsport in regards to using KC and it caused us to walk away from two potential homes. Sadly we have proof of them being in cahoots to blacklist him because of his thorough work. It’s pretty frustrating a sad to see “professionals” being shady about who we pick to be our inspector. Mind your own business and support your clients in their decisions. We will always refer KC, he’s trust worthy and very proficient. Definitely better than the other inspector we were forced to use on one of the homes we tried to buy. Thank you KC! read less Melissa Varner11/08/2022

Whether you like it or not, realtors (even those representing the buyer) have no financial incentive to drive the home price down, so an inspector that gives the honest truth about home deficiencies is rarely recommended by a realtor. We greatly appreciated KC. I would highly recommend to anyone who really wants to get to know their prospective house. read less Hannah Bogard11/08/2022KC Bartley a terrific job for us.

I need a horn because I feel everyone should not only hear about, but also have the unexpected and utmost pleasure of meeting someone like KC. He is as honest as the day is long and is more concerned with helping buyers and sellers, and keeping his integrity, than anything else, period. This is obviously his primary concern and why he is going to fly far in a world dominated by dishonest, unethical, and "cash please, sayonara" businesses. First, I will say read all of the reviews prior to mine, they 1000% sum up this Professional and his business perfectly and honestly. Those reviews are exactly why I hired him. KC is timely, quick to answer calls, friendlier than any other inspector I've dealt with, or tried, and was unable to deal with, and when you need his services he will be there for you. His assessments are beyond thorough, beyond honest, and beyond fair in pricing for what he does. I am actually a seller, NOT a buyer, though if I were not moving out of state HE would be the ONLY person I'd use to inspect any home I may be interested in. As a seller I am thankful I found KC's website and he was able to come out quickly because I wanted to know in ADVANCE if there were any issues I needed to address prior to listing in regards to a new roof I had had installed, and that I had some concerns with. I will be trying to buy and close on another home out of state simultaneously and did not want any glitches during the buyers inspection of my home to stall the closing date. Thankfully after KC's inspection I feel comfortable in the knowledge that all will go smoothly. In business, even real estate, it can be very political, many hands in many pockets, and hard to get the truth because you don't know whose hand is in whose pocket. KC stands on his own merits, grade A. If you want the truth KC is your guy, if you want a true knowledgeable professional KC is your guy, in addition to him being one of the kindliest souls I have met. The reviews are real, I promise you'll be leaving a well deserved one for him yourself :-). I sure wish he inspected in NC but I WILL be requesting a referral if he knows an inspector there that is a duplicate of him. If all businesses were operated like his the world would be a better place. read less M M7/24/2021This will be the 4th time I've purchased a home and have never had a home inspection like this one!... read moreThis will be the 4th time I've purchased a home and have never had a home inspection like this one! The knowledge this man has goes way beyond what any home inspector has that I've ever dealt with. He was in constant communication with me, and the depth of his report was incredible.I'm am extremely big on ethics and integrity, so to find someone in business like KC is very refreshing. And you also get someone who is not only professional and knowledgeable, but someone who is personable also.If you're in this area and need a home inspector...trust me...you will have been very happy to have hired him! read less Linda Hamelin7/24/2021Mr Bartley was a God send.

Please have patience and read the whole thing.If you are buying an existing home in TN an inspection is extremely important. If you don't get a good inspector you could wind up regretting your purchase. KC is the best you can find. He is thorough, forthright and makes sure you know what's wrong and what's right with each house he inspects. He has inspected 3 houses for me, the first, we could not come to an agreement with the sellers for repairs. On the second what I thought were minor issues turned out to be big problems and I had to walk away. Thanks to KC I have been able to negotiate the purchase of the third house. It needs repairs, but I know what has to be done and have a good idea what it may cost. Because KC takes the time to explain things and answer questions I can be confident I am making the right decision when I close on this house. In my opinion he is the best you can find and I will continue to recommend him to anyone who asks!Older reviews below.This is the second time KC and Eric have inspected a home for me prior to purchase negotiation. I was very pleased the first time I used them and I continue to be happy with their services. Once again they were on time, did their work professionally and got along well with additional contractors I had brought in to look this house over. I think this was one of the first houses where they provided the 360 degree images of the interior. I was dubious the 360 degree views would add much to the already excellent report KC produces and I must say I was surprised. Going back and reviewing the report with the 360 degree views was great and made it easier for my wife (who was not present for the inspection) to better understand the issues. Once again the inspection report was delivered on time, was very detailed and a great aid in negotiating with the sellers. Unfortunately were were not able to come to an agreement and my wife and I are still searching for a house. Now that the weather is getting better we are hoping to find something soon, when we do, I will once again schedule Professional Home Inspections to look everything over. What I like best about working with KC and Eric is that I learn something new every time we look at a house. read less Joe Smith6/24/2021Integrity at it's finest!!
