Why This Exists
"I've spent 30 years inspecting what buyers never see. They deserved a report that told the truth."

Farid Hadid built GroundTruth after watching family members and colleagues buy properties in Tennessee blind — no septic history, no flood context, no understanding of what the county actually allows on a parcel. Every one of those things he could have answered in an hour from public records. So he built the system to do it for anyone.

This is not a data aggregation service. There is an engineer reviewing every report before it reaches you — someone who has read soil surveys, interpreted FEMA panels, and flagged septic systems that county records show as permitted but field conditions show as failing.

Questions

Everything you need to know.

Is this the same as a home inspection?
No. A physical home inspection checks the condition of the structure — roof, HVAC, foundation — on a single visit. Our report covers what inspectors never check: flood zone classification, zoning compliance, property tax analysis, school ratings, market positioning, and the full financial picture of the move. They are complementary. You need both.
How is this different from Zillow or Redfin?
Zillow shows you an AVM estimate and some neighborhood stats. We give you the FEMA panel number for your specific property, the TDEC septic history, the exact HOA covenant language you should review, a negotiation strategy based on actual recent comps, and a 10-year cost model showing what this move does to your finances. Different category entirely.
Do I need a specific property to order?
No. If you're still in the research phase, select "Area Research" on the intake form and give us a county or zip code. We'll produce a market intelligence report for that area — schools, tax rates, zoning patterns, flood exposure across the county, typical land and home values. Many buyers order this before they've started looking at specific listings.
My realtor referred me. How does the discount work?
Enter your agent's referral code during checkout for 20% off any tier. Your agent receives a 20% commission on the report fee — paid directly by us, not out of your pocket. It's our way of compensating the referral without adding cost to you.
How accurate is the tax savings calculator?
The calculator uses 2025 effective state tax rates and actual Tennessee property tax data. It's a realistic estimate — not a guarantee. Your actual savings depend on your specific income, deductions, and the exact property. Treat it as a directional tool, then consult a CPA for exact figures before financial decisions.
What if I'm looking at land, not a house?
We have a dedicated Land Report product covering buildability, septic feasibility, soil type, wetlands, flood exposure, zoning for your intended use, utility access, and solar potential. Raw land is where the most risk lives — no inspection history, no permits to review, no previous owner disclosure. Our Land Report is built specifically for this.
How long does delivery take?
Quick Scan: 2 hours. Standard: 24 hours. Full Due Diligence: 48 hours. Rush surcharge (+$150) gets any tier delivered same day. If you're under contract with an inspection deadline, let us know in the intake form and we'll prioritize accordingly.
