What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

"Benjamin and Magnolia Properties came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He was thorough and detailed and made the inspection process seamless and easy. I would highly recommend his services to others, and will for sure be using him on future inspections."

Luke A, 37212

"I HIGHLY recommend. Peter did an amazing job! Nothing was untouched or not explained. The report is literally 40+ pages of photos. Also, at the end of the report they give recommendations for local plumbers/electricians/contractors/etc and that's super helpful! We are super pleased and it was well worth the price for the details!"

Megan B, 37209

″Magnolia Property Consultants inspected our new construction home. The inspector did a thorough job and pointed out several things that we were not qualified to identify. The builder has corrected the issues, and we feel confident in moving into our new house.″

Lynn R, 37204

"Having purchased multiple houses, and used multiple home inspection companies, I can truly say that Magnolia left me feeling, by far, the most confident in the condition of my new home. Would gladly use Magnolia as my company of choice."

Nathan B, 37064

"They were friendly and courteous, but also professional, and they did a very thorough inspection. We received the reports in a timely manner. We also had sewer scope, and radon, mold, and termite tests performed. We would definitely recommend Magnolia Home Inspections to anyone buying a new house in the Nashville area!"

Beth R, 37216

"Magnolia Home Inspections did a great job and made me feel at ease buying our house. Benjamin even came back to my house when I was able to move in and made sure everything was good! He was amazing to work with, I highly recommend using this home inspection service!!"
