Dave Ellis, CMI®: A Passionate Home Inspector with Decades of Experience
Dave Ellis is a Certified Master Inspector® with over 20 years combined experience in construction and as a home inspector. He is the owner and operator of Ace Home Inspection, proudly serving Greater-Knoxville, Sevierville/Pigeon Forge and parts of Middle Tennessee.
Dave’s passion for real estate began at a young age, learning construction from his father, a master carpenter. During and shortly after high school he worked for a large construction defect law firm where he learned the importance of good building practice, during which time he began real estate investing on the side. He further honed his skills throughout his 20s, remodeling multiple homes before the age of 30 and worked with contractors performing remodeling services for clients. Dave became InterNACHI certified in 2015 and was instrumental in helping a multi-inspector firm grow and succeed to be the top inspection firm in the region before moving to Knoxville in 2021. Once in Knoxville, Dave became an independent property adjuster where he witnessed a different side of the inspection industry, but ultimately decided to return to what he loves and start Ace Home Inspection.
Over the years, Dave has performed thousands of inspections, including standard home inspections, multi-family inspections, pool & spa inspections, mold sampling and commercial properties. He is a detail-oriented inspector and warm communicator who provides clear and comprehensive reports within 24 hours of the inspection.
