"From historic homes near the downtown square to student rentals near MTSU and new subdivisions across the county — John Steele and Qualitas Home Inspections bring 20 years and 5,000+ inspections to every Murfreesboro home."
Murfreesboro sits at the exact geographic center of Tennessee and ranks among the fastest-growing cities in the state — anchored by Middle Tennessee State University and a thriving, walkable historic downtown around the county courthouse square. Home to one of the region's strongest buyer markets, Murfreesboro blends stately older homes near the square and campus, a large and active student-rental market, and mile after mile of new subdivisions spreading across Rutherford County. Qualitas Home Inspections — family-owned by John Steele, a Tennessee Licensed Home Inspector (#753) with 20 years and 5,000+ inspections — inspects homes throughout Murfreesboro and all of Rutherford County.
A market this varied brings a wide range of concerns. Murfreesboro's older homes near downtown and MTSU can carry aging wiring, plumbing, and HVAC plus foundation settlement, while the city's heavy rental and investment activity means many properties have seen hard use between tenants. New subdivisions built during the growth boom deserve a close look for installation shortcuts and drainage issues on fresh lots. Throughout it all, Middle Tennessee's crawl-space construction, clay soils, humid summers, and elevated-radon potential apply.
That's why Murfreesboro buyers, sellers, and investors choose Qualitas. Whether it's a first home near campus, a rental property, or a brand-new build, John brings 5,000+ inspections and a builder's background to every one — and offers a recurring rental checkup for investors. Radon testing is available with your inspection, reports are typically delivered the next day, and John walks the home with you in plain language. Call or text John and Charla at 615-707-0861 to schedule your Murfreesboro inspection.
Every inspection is handled personally by John — thorough, photo-documented, and typically delivered the next day. Here's what Qualitas offers across Murfreesboro and Rutherford County:
A complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the home's structure, systems, and safety — for buyers and sellers alike.
Certified radon measurement, available right alongside your inspection — important in Middle Tennessee.

Protect your Nashville rental with a recurring checkup that catches wear between tenants.
An independent look at a newly built home before you close — catching defects while they're the builder's job.
