"Every previously-owned home comes with a history — past repairs, aging systems, and the choices of owners before you. An inspection tells you what you're really inheriting."
A re-sale home — one that's been lived in and owned before — has a story written into its systems and surfaces. Past repairs done well or done poorly, additions and upgrades made with or without permits, components quietly reaching the end of their service life, and ordinary wear that adds up over the years. A re-sale inspection from AccuPro gives you an impartial, top-to-bottom read on the home's true condition, so you know exactly what you're inheriting before you commit. Tom Cely personally performs every inspection across the Central Savannah River Area, following the ASHI Standards of Practice and explaining every finding in plain language.
A re-sale inspection is a thorough evaluation of the home's visible and accessible systems and components — inside and out. Tom examines the roof, exterior, attic, walls, ceilings and floors, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation and crawlspace or basement, and the grounds and irrigation — paying particular attention to how the home has aged and how well it's been maintained.
Every finding is documented with clear, high-resolution photos and delivered in a written report free of jargon — typically within 24 hours. Tom flags not just active problems but systems nearing the end of their service life and signs of past repairs or deferred maintenance, so you can plan and budget realistically. He also provides an informative field summary of the major points and answers any questions you have. And because your peace of mind matters, one re-inspection of any agreed-upon repairs is included in the inspection fee.
Whether the home is five years old or fifty, you walk away knowing its real condition — not just how it shows on a Saturday afternoon.
A home that looks move-in ready can still carry years of accumulated issues beneath the surface. Fresh paint and new flooring photograph beautifully — but they don't tell you about the roof that's a few seasons past its prime, the water heater on borrowed time, or the previous owner's well-intentioned "fix" that quietly created a bigger problem. A re-sale inspection separates how a home looks from how it actually is.
Across the CSRA, the region's hot, humid climate is especially hard on older housing stock — moisture and mold concerns in crawlspaces and attics, aging HVAC systems strained by long summers, weathered roofing and flashing, foundation movement, and dated or DIY electrical and plumbing work are all common finds. Many are manageable once you know about them; the danger is in not knowing until after closing.
An inspection gives you the full picture so you can budget for upcoming maintenance, negotiate repairs or price with the facts in hand, or simply move forward with confidence. Knowing a home's real condition protects both your investment and your family.
Buying an existing home is the most common scenario — and the inspection period in your purchase agreement is exactly the window to do it. Scheduling promptly gives you time to review findings, ask questions, and decide on next steps before your contingencies expire.
Buyers of older or character homes rely on it to understand decades of history and what ownership will involve. Those purchasing a previously renovated or flipped home use it to confirm the visible upgrades were matched by sound work behind the walls. And buyers of as-is properties need it most of all — knowing the home's condition is the only way to judge whether the price reflects the reality.
Real estate agents across the CSRA refer buyers to Tom because his thoroughness with existing homes, fast report turnaround, and plain-language explanations help clients make confident decisions and keep transactions moving toward closing.

Plain-language reports, a field summary of the major points, and one re-inspection of agreed-upon repairs included.
It's a thorough evaluation of the home's visible and accessible systems and components — roof, exterior, attic, walls, ceilings and floors, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation and crawlspace or basement, and the grounds. Tom pays special attention to how the home has aged and to signs of past repairs. You receive a detailed report with high-resolution photos.
Yes. Cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new flooring don't tell you about the roof, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems behind them — or whether a previous repair was done correctly. An inspection looks past the staging to the home's real condition.
Renovations are worth confirming, not just admiring. Tom checks whether visible upgrades are matched by sound work behind the walls, and looks for signs of DIY or unpermitted changes that can create problems down the road.
Most re-sale inspections take a few hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Older homes with more history often take longer — Tom takes the time needed to do the job right.
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours of the inspection — written in clear, plain language and ready to share with your real estate agent or attorney as you work through your inspection period.
