  1. 1

    Construction-experienced leadership

    Your Magnolia Consultant leads the whole-home investigation with hands-on construction experience and building-science reasoning.

  2. 2

    A coordinated professional team

    Magnolia brings together an Environmental Technician and qualified local contractor partners with focused expertise in areas such as structural, HVAC, roofing, chimney, pool, and WDO / pest control.

  3. 3

    One integrated understanding

    Your Magnolia Consultant connects the evidence across all reports so you can understand the home as a whole—and understand the most important issues.

  4. 4

    Real repair scope and pricing

    Qualified local contractor partners can define what an important repair may involve and provide real repair pricing.

  5. 5

    Support beyond the investigation

    Your Magnolia Consultant is available after the investigation for questions before repair negotiations, and after closing to support you as a homeowner.

The Process

A Simpler Path Through a Complicated Decision.

1

Tell Us About the Home

Share the property, your concerns, and the timing of the decision.

We’ll help determine the right level of professional depth around the home before the investigation begins—so you are not left guessing what should have been investigated after the fact.

2

Understand What Matters

Your team investigates the property while one Magnolia Consultant remains responsible for understanding the home as a whole.

You leave knowing what deserves your attention, what the important conditions may require, and how the findings relate to repair, negotiation, and ownership.

3

Make the Decision With Better Information

Use that understanding with your Realtor to think through repairs, negotiation, and what ownership may require.

And when seller responses, repair proposals, or new technical information raise another question, your Magnolia Consultant remains available with the context of the original investigation.

Magnolia provides team-based Due Diligence.

Our Signature Service begins with a coordinated team of 3 professionals and can be customized to include 8+ additional professionals when the home, your concerns, or the investigation calls for deeper expertise.

One home. Three primary risks worth addressing.

    Whole-Home Investigation

    A Magnolia Consultant evaluates the home as a whole—its systems, observed conditions, performance patterns, and how those conditions relate to one another.

  2. ii

    Radon Monitoring

    Davidson County is classified by the EPA as a Zone 1 radon area, where predicted average indoor radon levels exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.

    Radon cannot be seen, smelled, or identified through a visual investigation. It has to be measured.

  3. iii

    Termite / WDO Evaluation

    Subterranean termites are widespread throughout the Southeast, and research has documented as many as 25 separate colonies per acre in some southeastern environments.

    A dedicated Termite / WDO professional focuses specifically on evidence of activity, damage, treatment history, entry pathways, and conditions conducive to wood-destroying organisms.

In Their Words

Confident Clarity Is What Clients Remember

Reliable and thorough, Magnolia did a great job helping prepare me as a buyer of a 100 year old home. I felt so much more comfortable and knowledgeable purchasing my new-to-me home after their inspection.

Polly Palmer

My Realtor has been as impressed as I am. They are thorough… always available, and ensure I am satisfied with their explanation of any concerns I have.

Javier A

I always feel better when we work with Magnolia… because I know on the other end that they’re going to come back with calmness… solutions oriented… the right list of what to prioritize… delivered in a very thoughtful, careful manner.

Ann Small

The report was thorough and included helpful suggestions, resources, pictures, and videos. We received a pre- and post-report follow up with additional contacts for contractors, customer service, and other homeowners resources.

What Happens Next

The investigation happened on a deadline. The support should not disappear when it is over.

Your report should arrive while the decision is still in front of you—not after the moment to use it has passed.

And when seller responses, repair proposals, or new information create another question, your Magnolia Consultant remains available to help put it back into context.

Clear reporting. Timely delivery. Continued access to the professional who knows the investigation.
