Burgess Inspection Group

What Burgess Inspection Group does

Burgess Inspection Group is a third-generation, family-owned property inspection company headquartered in Fairview, Texas, serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex since 1969. The company provides TREC-certified residential and commercial inspection services, including buyer inspections, pre-listing seller inspections, commercial/multifamily inspections, and add-on modules for termite, gas line, pool, and builder warranty evaluations. Its proprietary 'Burgess Standard' inspection methodology is described as exceeding Texas Real Estate Commission minimum requirements and is delivered through a four-step process (Scheduled, Inspected, Reviewed, Relieved) with same-day digital photo reports and one-on-one inspector reviews.

The core technology is human-driven inspection expertise rather than software or automation: each inspector carries an individual TREC license (the company's master license is #5341), and the founder Russell W. Burgess authored five editions of the industry textbook 'Real Estate Home Inspections: Mastering the Profession.' The firm performs inspections using established checklists across structural, electrical, HVAC, roofing, insulation, plumbing, interior/exterior, and appliance categories, and delivers results as electronic reports with photographic documentation. No AI/ML, software platform, API, mobile application, or proprietary technology stack beyond the inspection methodology itself is indicated.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with quote-based, pay-per-inspection pricing. Customers schedule online or by phone with a stated 48-hour turnaround. A significant share of demand is sourced through referral partnerships with major DFW realtor associations (CCAR, MetroTex, TAR, NTCAR), supported by realtor-facing marketing tools, lunch-and-learn sessions, and white papers. The company supplements direct and referral channels with organic SEO, a YouTube channel, Facebook presence, and a Home Tips blog. The team is approximately 11 people, including roughly 8 inspectors, and the company has completed over 187,000 inspections cumulatively. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no institutional investors; ownership remains wholly within the Burgess family.
