A home inspection is the most important due diligence step before closing — and the report you walk away with should give you more than a pass/fail. Heart of Illinois Property Services delivers a top-to-bottom evaluation built around what buyers, investors, and agents in Central Illinois actually need: clear findings, honest context on severity, and same-day turnaround so your transaction stays on schedule. Every inspection includes thermal imaging, full-system diagnostics, and direct access to your inspector after the report is delivered.
Every HOI home inspection covers the full property, roof to basement:

Chase holds Illinois state licensing and certifications including InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, IAC2, IICRC, Infrared Certified, and Certified Radon Tester.
