Why Choose our Inspection Company?
Hi! My name is Thomas Reed, owner of MOV Home Inspections LLC.
My journey into Home Inspections began about three years ago as a
weekend hobby. Like so many other careers, my employer of eleven years downsized. So, with a lot of love and support from friends and family,
I decided to turn my hobby into a new full time career choice.
MOV Home Inspections LLC is locally based out of
Little Hocking, Ohio. We are proud to service the entire Mid Ohio Valley and surrounding areas. Because buying a home is stressful enough, our goal is to provide you with the most affordable,
accurate, and detailed home inspection without the extra surprises.
Feel free to reach out anytime with
questions about the services we offer.
