I recently purchased a home and was in the market for a home inspection. A friend of mine referred me to Diligent. It was very easy to set-up online and the team at Diligent was very responsive and scheduled my inspection that week. The team was extremely professional and very easy to work with. My inspector was VERY thorough, which is exactly what I was hoping for since this is my future home. Richard was my inspector and he was very kind and patient enough to answer questions for me along the way. After the inspection concluded, he immediately did a quick summary for me to give me a peace of mind. Later that same evening, my report was emailed to me and was super helpful. It explained all the issues that needed resolving and even helped me identify which items were the most important. The team also helped me take care of my termite and radon inspections. I also wanted to have a separate HVAC inspection due to an older until at the property and they contacted one of their trusted partners in the business to set that up for me. It was a fantastic and very easy experience for this nervous new home buyer. Thanks to the team at Diligent for helping make this step of the home buying experience a good one. read more

Richard at Diligent did the inspection for my current home purchase. Extremely thorough, he took the time and was able to answer any questions I had. Although I arrived early during the inspection process, he did not make me feel as though I was 'in the way' or keeping him from doing his job. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of the scope of the inspection, he was able to put me at ease with the purchase of a multi-story condominium (which is a new experience for me). I appreciate the extra time he took with explanations of the inspection while at the property. His reports are detailed, and very easy to read and comprehend as a typical home buyer. And am very appreciative of Richard for helping to protect my current investment as well as looking out for my resale experience if the time comes. Richards's years of experience, combined with his in-depth knowledge of different developments, styles of homes as well as period homes in the middle TN area make him a very well rounded professional and very respected in his field. I am extremely pleased with the services offered by Diligent and would recommend them to anyone in the market for their new home. read more

When me and my wife were buying our home, we knew we wanted a thorough and cohesive home inspector to survey and inspect our home. I had heard about "hillbilly" inspectors who wanted the quick cash only to move on to another inspection. We wanted to find someone who was truly invested in our goals and would help be a home-advocate for us. DILIGENT was that inspection company. Michael spent over 3 hours on-site inspecting everything from the attic, outlets, vents, water spigots, to the crawl space. He left nothing un turned and was a valuable asset in helping us get mold removed from the crawlspace. He also took extensive notes for his report he sent us afterwards. He also encouraged us to test for radon as this could be harmful to our health. We were glad he did as our radon levels were higher than normal. This report has been a "blueprint" of sorts for things me and my wife need to update and watch for through the life of our home. I would encourage anyone looking for a home inspector to use DILIGENT. You will not be disappointed. read more

I recently had a home I'm purchasing inspected by the one and only Kyle. But let me back up a second and start with creating my appointment. This part was streamlined and super easy. Punch in the info, pick a day and time and boom, you get a call back to verify what you chose and explained what else you may need and if you're completely covered for inspection. Now, back to Kyle. I usually have a pretty good eye for little things, inspecting aircraft for over 10 years, but Kyle put me to shame. His punctuality and thoroughness were top notch. He walked me through every issue and explained why they were big issues, or not and how to take care of them if I wanted to keep the house. He's a great guy and fellow musician, so for music people out there (or regular people), ask for Kyle! Also, the way Diligent provides their reports actually excited my realtor because they made everything, essentially, copy and paste for the negotiating part after the inspection. Thanks Diligent and Kyle for a great home inspection experience! read more

I chose Diligent to inspect my first home. Even though the house was only a couple years old, the inspector left no stones unturned and was very thorough. He was very friendly and professional and answered all my questions along the way. Five months later we still haven't found any issues he overlooked. The periodic recall report they continue to provide on our appliances is a nice touch too. I took one star off because they dropped the ball on our separate termite inspection. The inspection was ordered and payed for, but they forgot to schedule it. Luckily we were able to extend our contract deadline with the sellers, but otherwise it could have been a big problem. As I understand, the owner was dealing with some health issues at the time and they did apologize and refund my termite fee. I would still use them again if I ever need another inspection in the area. read more

My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home, and we're new to the area so we don't know many people. Diligent was recommended by our realtor, so we decided to use them for our home inspection. I'm so glad we did! Our inspector (Riley) was extremely nice and patient with all of our questions. He was also very personable, which made us both feel comfortable. His face-to-face explanation of his findings was very efficient and easy to understand, not to mention incredibly thorough. What impressed me even more was the full report that I received in my email this morning. Talk about inclusive!! Every detail is listed, with coordinating pictures for each item, AND links that give you even more information and descriptions of terms and such. So very impressive. I'm thankful for these guys and would recommend them to anyone! read more

Being new to the area, we made sure to do extensive research on all the inspectors in the area along with speaking to our realtor with recommendations. Hands, down Diligent was best, many times with Michael signaled out as THE master inspector. Come inspection day, we were NOT disappointed. Michael and his team were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was very upfront with us on everything we needed to know and what we needed to keep an eye out for. We had many questions during and after the inspection and Michael explained and answer each one with care. He made us very comfortable with the home we bought. On top of it all, he gave us recommendations of some hot spots in the area! I would definitely recommend Michael and diligent to anyone and everyone that wants a top quality inspector who cares about you and your home. read more

My husband and I are buying our first home and did not know much about how the home inspection process would go. When I called to inquire, Michael the owner of Diligent, gave me a lot of details about what we could expect with their services. I could tell he very much cared and wanted to make sure that all of my questions were answered. Richard came out to do our home inspection and he went above and beyond in the inspection and in the report which we got less than 24 hours later. He kindly included pictures and notes about small things that he was not required to do. He was very thorough in his inspection and super patient as he went around and explained various things about the house to us. He not only pointed out the bad, but also good things about the house. I highly recommend getting a home inspection with Diligent. read more

I very rarely leave reviews on sites like this but i feel obligated to share my amazing experience with Diligent Home Inspection. This company is truly top notch and cares about its customers. The inspection report was very detailed and easy to read. They are extremely thorough and reported things which i would have never even thought about looking for. Their customer service is great as well. They are always available to take your call and answer questions and respond very quickly to emails. After i purchased the home Michael Conrad the owner was kind enough to help me out with an issue i had concerning a previous Radon test. I honestly cant speak highly enough about my experience with this company. They have earned my loyalty for any future inspections or testing i need. read more

My wife and I used Diligent for our first home purchase and I can't say enough good things about them. Positive, friendly staff and technology focused, which made them FAST. I had results in my inbox 48 hours after deciding to schedule. I was able to download an interactive and educational report that clearly laid out each issue they found. Even more helpful was the prioritization of what needed to be tackled first, and what can be done in the future. It was a relief knowing what items we didn't have to worry about while we were in the stress of the home buying process. Also, they are the only home inspector I have seen that takes bitcoin for payment, which was very convenient for me. I would not hesitate to use them again! read more

We used Richard with Diligent to inspect the very first house we got a contract on and he saved us from buying a money pit! Their report you receive after the inspection is very impressive and thorough. We found out through the inspection about some major costly repairs that the house needed to have done. The seller agreed to fix most of them, so when we ordered a reinspection, we found out she hadn't fixed them at all and used a cheap work around. The seller had also let the house flood and when we had a mold test done, the owner, Michael called us personally to explain the test results. We ended up not buying that first house, and we are now using Diligent to inspect our new home. Highly recommend this company! read more

I have been very pleased with Diligent Home Inspectors, who our real estate agent recommended for the general inspection. I stayed for the entire inspection and although it was tedious, I am glad I did - our inspector, Richard, was very helpful in pointing out and explaining the items in the report, and I learned a lot! Although this is our first time going through this process (so we don't have any point of reference, or longitudinal assessment of items documented in the report), I think they were quite thorough and thoughtful. They have also been extremely responsive to follow-up questions, and are helping alleviate a lot of the stress of first-time home buying. read more

From start to finish DILIGENT was excellent. Maureen was very pleasant and efficient, coordinating schedules and taking charge to make sure the inspection was off on a good foot. David, our inspector, was thorough, informative, and very customer focused. He was very attentive to our questionS and answered each one thoughtfully and efficiently. His report was very clear and concise. One item that he wasn't sure of he researched and provided documentation and reason with his answer. My wife and I have been through this inspection process many times in the past, and this experience with DILIGENT was by far the best we have experienced. Outstanding! read more

Diligent is Amazing! They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Michael was available to answer all of my questions and was extremely helpful in the home inspection process. Megan in the office is very efficient and sweet as well. Unfortunately, my home inspection required 3 inspections but thanks to Diligent, they were able to catch things normal home inspections would not have. Because of them, I was able to ensure all the items in my 32 year old home were fixed properly and correctly. It is definitely worth the little extra money they cost. You truly get what you pay for and if you want a correct home inspection, this is who you need to call!! read more

My wife and I used Diligent for our home inspection when we were buying our first home in November of 2015. They were very flexible with scheduling and were very communicative through the whole process. Even though we had to schedule a second visit, Michael and his team were very helpful in working with us, our realtor, and the seller's realtor in getting everything figured out. They just made the whole process very easy for us as the buyers. I would highly recommend Diligent for any house inspections in Nashville, and I will certainly be using their services again should we buy another home in Nashville. read more

I hired Diligent after I did extensive research and found that they had the most and best reviews online. I have not been disappointed! The inspector, Riley, was extremely professional and took time to explain his findings and answer any questions I had during the walk-through. Then I got his official report, which was beyond thorough and more detailed than I had anticipated. I was very pleased! I also went through Diligent for other inspections/tests, including HVAC, Radon, Sewers, Mold, and Termites, and each of those reports were also very well done. I would 10/10 use Diligent again! read more

To be honest I don't even know where to begin. My wife and I were completely blown away by the professionalism, friendliness, in-depth report and the time Chris took review and explain our inspection report to us. Then receiving the report was at a whole other level of being impressed and informed of our future home's condition. We recently moved here from Ca. and have bought and sold multiple homes and I have never seen and more organized and detailed home inspection report. Thank you Diligent (and Chris) 5 stars all the way!! read more

We worked with Dan who was extremely thorough and took the time to explain the issues with the property we looked at. He walked us through key parts of his inspection with his recommendations and insights. At no point did he advise what decision we should make. He was diligent and approachable, spoke in clear and simple terms and backed everything with photos. The report we received the next day was even more detailed and gave us all the information to make an informed decision. I highly recommend Dan and by extension Diligent. read more

Hey these guys are really good at home inspection!! We are glad we found them online. They gave us an appointment with not much notice because of our hurried situation. Michael also provided a timely termite inspection for us. Our inspector Richard was on time and very courteous to work with. He issued a very specific and thorough report in less than 24 hours. Those guys have to do some DIRTY work! We will use Diligent in future house purchases! Thank you all, including Angie who did all the scheduling. read more
