Timothy J. Kearney

Tim Kearney and Barbara Tanzyus are the owners of B-Safe Home Inspection Service, Inc. This is a locally owned company incorporated in 1996. We custom built the reports and process, which has gone through several revisions and evolved into the excellent process we now have.

Tim has been in the building and construction industry for over 25 years, he has also been a firefighter for about twenty years, and within this role he sees a vast range of home problems. Tim has completed multiple college level courses on building construction, problems, and inspections. He has also purchased and sold many homes as a business. It is through these businesses that he has learned many of the valuable lessons of what to look for when purchasing a home. Through dedication, hard work, and reputation, B-Safe quickly grew to one of the top inspection companies in Springfield. B-safe now has three inspectors. Each inspector has fifteen to thirty years of experience in the building industry. We believe that a combination of contractor experience and home inspector training makes for the best possible inspectors. All B-Safe inspectors meet our strict guidelines as well as take continuing education courses.

Memberships held include: National Pest Association, Board member of Springfield lakeshore Improvement Association, Member of Realtors Mold task force Committee, President of Abe Lincoln Real Estate Investments, Affiliate member of Capital Area Association of Realtors, Founding Member and Treasurer of Springfield’s First Home Inspectors Association, Springfield Firefighters Pension Board Treasurer and Springfield Firefighters Political Action Committee.
