Arlington has everything from 1960s ranch homes near UT Arlington to newer master-planned neighborhoods like Viridian, and each one deserves a thorough inspection from a certified, TREC-licensed inspector who explains every finding.
Most people know Arlington for AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas, but the city is also one of the largest housing markets in Tarrant County. Neighborhoods near UT Arlington and the original downtown include plenty of 1950s through 1970s ranch homes, while south Arlington grew rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s. On the north side, the Viridian master-planned community near the Trinity River has brought newer construction and a fresh wave of buyers. From its home base in Haslet, Texas Inspection Services helps Arlington buyers and sellers understand exactly what they are getting.
Your inspector is Anthony Ivory, owner of the company and the person who will actually walk your home. Anthony carries the Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) designation, InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector status, and a TREC Professional Inspector license, #24660. He has spent 15 years inspecting North Texas properties and works to the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice on every job. That combination of training and experience is especially useful in a city where the next house on your list could be forty years older, or newer, than the last one.
Anthony’s approach is unhurried and transparent. You are invited to join him during the inspection, and he will stop to point out what he finds, explain the cause and talk through what it could mean for you. Results come in a Spectora report filled with photos and organized so you can find what matters quickly, then share it with your agent or lender in a click. Real estate agents, builders, mortgage firms and banks rely on his reports, and 30 client reviews averaging 5.0 stars describe him as thorough, clear and genuinely professional.
Arlington homes face the classic North Texas challenges. The expansive clay under much of the city moves with the seasons, and older slab foundations may show the effects through cracked drywall, uneven floors or gaps along baseboards. Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s may still have original electrical panels, aging water heaters or plumbing that has been patched over the years. Hail regularly strikes the Mid-Cities in spring, so roof coverings, gutters and vents deserve close inspection. Newer homes in communities like Viridian benefit from phase inspections during construction and an 11-month warranty inspection before the builder’s first-year coverage ends.
If you want a clear, honest picture of an Arlington property, Anthony is ready to help. He offers comprehensive home inspections, pre-listing inspections that help sellers address issues before buyers find them, new construction phase and warranty inspections, specialized roof, attic, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and foundation evaluations, and commercial property inspections. Each one is performed with care and explained in plain language, so you never have to guess what a finding means. Give Texas Inspection Services a call at 817-829-6967 to schedule your Arlington inspection during your option period.
