A Birmingham marketing service

Vetted home inspectors,

We don't perform inspections. We've spent months vetting the ones who do — license, insurance, reviews, response time — so you don't have to guess who's actually good before you put down earnest money.

"Found three inspectors before I'd finished my coffee. One was at the property the next morning." Lauren — Hoover
"I'd been quoted $650 by the first inspector my realtor recommended. The inspector I got matched with charged $385 for the same scope." Marcus — Trussville

What Birmingham buyers should ask about

Three things every inspector in this metro should know cold.

Birmingham isn't Boise. The houses here have specific patterns of failure — and the inspectors we partner with know them by heart.

i.

Red clay & foundation movement

Expansive clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. The result is the cracked drywall, sticking doors, and stair-step brick cracks that show up in roughly a third of pre-1990 Birmingham homes. Read more →

ii.

Termite pressure (WDIR)

Jefferson and Shelby counties sit in Alabama's heaviest termite zone. VA and FHA loans require a WDIR (Wood-Destroying Insect Report), which is a separate inspection issued only by a licensed termite professional.

iii.

Crawl spaces & humidity

Eighty percent humidity for six months a year means crawl spaces are the single most defect-prone zone of any Birmingham home. Make sure the inspector actually goes under.

Questions buyers actually ask

Five answers, no marketing.

How fast can I get a home inspection in Birmingham?
Most of the buyers we match are scheduled within 48 hours. Every inspector on our roster has contractually committed to same-day or next-day booking.
Do you charge buyers anything?
No. Not a referral fee, not a service fee, not a "platform" fee. The inspectors on our roster pay us a flat monthly marketing fee for exclusive territory. You pay the inspector directly for the inspection itself.
What does a Birmingham home inspection typically cost?
For a 2,000 sq ft single-family home, expect $350–$500 for a standard inspection. Add-ons such as termite (WDIR, required for VA/FHA), radon, sewer scope, and mold testing are priced separately.
Are these inspectors actually licensed?
Yes. Every inspector on our roster holds an active Alabama home inspector license issued by the Alabama Building Commission, Home Inspectors Registration Board. We verify each license at onboarding and re-verify quarterly.
What's specific to Birmingham that I should ask about?
Three things in particular: foundation movement (red clay soil), termite pressure (Jefferson and Shelby counties), and crawl-space moisture. Any inspector worth hiring in this market will have a clear answer about how they evaluate each.

Earnest money is non-refundable.
