Irving buyers and sellers — from Las Colinas and Valley Ranch to the established streets of South Irving — get a thorough TREC-standard inspection and a photo-rich report from a Certified Master Inspector.
Few Dallas County cities pack as much variety into one map as Irving. Las Colinas brings canal-side condos, townhomes and executive houses around Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canal, along with the famous Mustangs sculpture. Valley Ranch offers tree-lined family neighborhoods built mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, and South Irving is full of solid brick ranch homes from the post-war decades, many now on their second or third owners. Highways like SH 114, SH 183 and the George Bush Turnpike tie it all together next to DFW Airport. Texas Inspection Services heads east from Haslet to inspect Irving homes, condos and commercial properties.
Anthony Ivory is the inspector you will meet at the door. He is a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®), an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector and a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector, license #24660, with 15 years in the field. His inspections follow the Texas Real Estate Commission Standards of Practice and cover the systems that matter most: roof and attic, structure and foundation, electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling. Findings are compiled into a Spectora report that is clean, well organized and packed with photographs, so you can review it on your phone or forward it to your agent in seconds.
Plenty of inspectors can produce a checklist. Anthony stands out because he takes the time to explain what each finding means and which items deserve attention first. Clients are encouraged to attend and ask questions, and his reviewers — 30 of them, averaging 5.0 stars on Spectora — consistently describe him as patient, professional and detailed. Irving’s busy market moves fast, and agents appreciate an inspector they can trust to be clear without being alarmist. He also works with builders, mortgage firms and banks, and many past clients have come back to him for their next purchase.
Housing age drives much of what Anthony watches for in Irving. Ranch homes in South Irving can show decades of foundation settling on expansive clay, older electrical panels, original plumbing and ductwork that has seen many long summers. Condos and townhomes around Las Colinas raise different questions, such as shared walls, balconies and HVAC units tucked into tight closets. Valley Ranch homes are reaching the age when roofs, water heaters and air conditioning equipment are often due for replacement. North Texas hailstorms add another layer, since roof damage is common and not always obvious. Anthony documents conditions clearly so you can plan for them.
Buying in Irving is a major decision, and a clear, honest inspection helps you make it with confidence. Anthony provides comprehensive home inspections, pre-listing inspections for sellers, targeted roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC evaluations, new construction and 11-month warranty inspections, and commercial property inspections for Irving’s many business owners. Book as soon as your contract is signed so the report arrives with plenty of time left in your option period to ask questions, gather repair estimates and negotiate with the seller. To schedule, call Texas Inspection Services at 817-829-6967.

He does. Anthony inspects condos and townhomes around Las Colinas and throughout Irving, covering the unit’s electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior components and any accessible structure and roofing that fall within the inspection. His Spectora report notes which items appear to be the owner’s responsibility so you can follow up with the HOA as needed.
Many South Irving homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s. Anthony pays close attention to foundation movement, aging electrical panels and wiring, older plumbing materials, roof condition and the age of the HVAC system. He explains which findings are typical for a house of that age and which ones may need prompt attention or a specialist.
