Home Inspectors and Real Estate Agents both work within the property industry but serve different roles.

Real Estate Agents facilitate property transactions, holding licenses and working primarily in sales and client negotiations. Understanding these differences helps clients find the right professional for their needs.

How long does it take to become a home inspector?

Becoming a home inspector typically requires completing a state-approved training program that ranges from 40 to 140 hours, followed by passing a certification exam. The process can take several weeks to a few months depending on the program and scheduling, and some states also require additional experience or licensing steps.

Is home inspecting a good career?

Home inspecting is a viable career that involves evaluating residential properties for safety, code compliance, and condition. It typically requires certification, knowledge of building systems, and strong attention to detail; inspectors often work independently and may have flexible schedules. The demand for home inspectors tends to be steady, especially in real estate markets with active property transactions.

Job description

Do friends and family come to you whenever something breaks, leaks, squeaks, or cracks? Do you enjoy solving problems, digging into technical details, and helping people make smart decisions about their homes?

3 Arrows Property Inspection is growing, and we’re looking for high-character individuals who want to serve home buyers with excellence. Our mission is simple: protect families and eliminate surprises during the home-buying process. We accomplish that with integrity, accuracy, and a relentless focus on serving clients well.

We’re searching for thoughtful professionals who enjoy learning, investigating, and developing true expertise. Home inspections are fast-paced and detail-heavy—and we thrive by being calm, methodical, and thorough.

Our business is growing and we are offering an exciting opportunity for an aggressive self-starter who possesses dedication, professionalism and true people skills. This is a fast paced business with a reputation for quality, custom reports and outstanding customer service. We will train the right individual. Experience and qualifications will determine starting base pay.

THE 3 ARROWS CULTURE

At 3 Arrows, culture matters as much as technical skill. We believe in:

    • Integrity Above Everything - Do what you say, say what you mean, and always put the client's best interests first.
    • Uncompromising Quality - We don’t cut corners. We inspect thoroughly, communicate clearly, and uphold a standard of excellence in every report and every interaction.
    • Service Over Self - We treat every home as if our own family were moving in. Our inspectors protect people, not transactions.
    • Team-Oriented Growth - We share knowledge, support each other, and help the entire team get better. No egos—only solutions.
    • Balanced, Family-Friendly Workdays - Work is important, but family wins. Our inspectors typically finish their days before 5 PM and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
    • Equipping You to Win - You don’t have to show up with everything—we provide the software, tech, scheduling, tools, ladders, cameras, meters, and equipment you need to do the job right.

If these values resonate with you, you’ll thrive here!

    • Maintain close, distance, color, and depth perception
    • Field work throughout Lebanon, TN and Middle Tennessee
    • Hybrid: field + home office report writing

Requirements
