True South / About

Meet Kevin Cearley.

Founder & Inspector

A local inspector who shows up like your home matters—because it does.

Kevin Cearley built True South Home Inspection on a simple principle—do the job right and give clients the information they actually need.

He received professional training through American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT) and continues to advance his knowledge through additional training and certifications with the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. He has also expanded his expertise by earning his Certified Commercial Property Inspector designation through the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association, allowing him to serve both residential and commercial clients.

Working in the Texas Hill Country, Kevin understands the importance of being thorough, honest, and consistent. Every inspection is approached with attention to detail and clear communication—no confusion, no guesswork, just straightforward answers.

How True South Works

Four principles, every single inspection.

01

Do the job right.

No shortcuts. No skipped steps. No checkboxes ticked from the truck. The inspection takes as long as it takes - and the report reflects every system that was actually examined.

02

Tell clients what they need to know.

Clear, plain-English explanations with photographic documentation and perspective on what matters versus normal wear. Findings are presented honestly—no scare tactics, no sugarcoating.

03

Stay current.

Continuing education is a constant. Ongoing training, evolving building practices, and emerging defect trends all play a role in how inspections are performed. In addition, TREC requires licensed inspectors to complete 32 hours of continuing education. Every inspection reflects current knowledge—not outdated practices.

04

Help you move forward.

An inspection isn't an obstacle. It's information. The inspector's job is to give you the clarity to make a confident decision - buy, walk, negotiate, or fix.
