Know exactly what you're buying — or selling — before the deal moves forward. A complete property assessment that puts you in control at the negotiating table.
A pre-purchase or pre-list inspection is a complete property assessment performed before a transaction finishes — the same detailed, 400+ component evaluation Accu-Check performs on any home, angled to the moment that matters most: the sale.
For buyers, it's peace of mind — an independent, experienced read on the home before you sign, so you know the true condition and the priority of any issues. For sellers, a pre-list inspection lets you see what a buyer's inspector will find before they find it, so you can make repairs on your own terms, price accurately, and avoid last-minute surprises at the closing table.
Jim Prudhomme performs pre-purchase and pre-list inspections throughout the Memphis metro and northern Mississippi. With more than 16,000 inspections over 35 years and licenses in both Tennessee (#302) and Mississippi (#1045), he delivers a roughly 30-page photo report within 24 hours — documentation you can take straight to the negotiating table.
A pre-purchase or pre-list inspection covers the full property and highlights what matters most to a transaction.
The full 400+ component inspection — foundation to roofline, structure to systems — documented with digital photos.
Clear identification of the significant issues that affect a home's value, safety, and negotiation.
Electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, roof, and structural components checked for condition and function.
A prioritized, plain-language report you can use to negotiate as a buyer or prepare your home as a seller.
Real estate moves fast, and the biggest mistakes happen when a decision is made without the full picture. A pre-purchase inspection gives buyers an accurate, unbiased read on the home before earnest money is at risk — and a clear sense of what to ask the seller to address.
For sellers, a pre-list inspection flips the script. When you already know what a buyer's inspector will uncover, you control the timing and the cost of any repairs, you can price the home realistically, and you head off the renegotiations and delays that stall or sink deals at the last minute.
Either way, you're working with the same standard Jim brings to every inspection: thorough, honest, and explained in plain language — treating the home as if his own family were about to move in.
Your inspection delivers a roughly 30-page computer-generated report, embedded with digital photos and free of technical jargon.
From your first phone call to final report delivery, here's exactly what to expect.

They're the same thorough inspection, ordered by different people for different reasons. A pre-purchase inspection is ordered by the buyer before closing to understand what they're buying. A pre-list inspection is ordered by the seller before the home goes on the market, so they can address issues on their own terms first.
Very often, yes. Knowing your home's condition up front lets you make repairs at your own pace and cost, price the home accurately, and avoid the surprise findings that trigger renegotiations or blow up a deal late in the process. It's one of the best ways to keep a sale on track.
Absolutely. The report prioritizes the major defects in plain language and documents them with photos, giving buyers clear, credible backup for repair requests or price adjustments — and giving sellers a head start on addressing them.
You'll receive a roughly 30-page computer-generated report, embedded with digital photos, typically within 24 hours — fast enough to keep a contract timeline moving. Jim also offers a cost-free follow-up consultation to walk through the findings.
Yes. A pre-purchase or pre-list inspection pairs naturally with Accu-Check's specialized testing — mold inspection, radon testing, and thermal imaging — so you can address additional concerns in the same visit. Just ask when you schedule.
