A home inspector licensed in Texas and Oklahoma — bringing honest, thorough, detailed inspections and reports usually within 24 hours to Sherman, Denison, and all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Dawson Nitcholas is the owner and inspector behind Ivy League Home Inspections, proudly serving home buyers, sellers, and homeowners across Sherman, Denison, and all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma with honest, thorough, and detailed home inspections. As a homeowner and an investment property owner himself, Dawson understands firsthand how important it is to know the true condition of a property before the sale — and he brings that same care to every inspection he performs.
Licensed in both Texas (TREC #25341) and Oklahoma (#70002742), Dawson uses tools and methods that meet and even exceed the Texas and Oklahoma Standards of Practice. From the foundation to the roofline, he evaluates the whole home — structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation, and more — and documents what he finds so nothing important gets overlooked.
Ivy League is also the go-to for the inspections that reveal a home's hidden, expensive problems. Sewer scope and septic system inspections are a specialty, and as an FAA-certified Remote Pilot, Dawson can provide quality aerial and roof photography at a very reasonable rate. He also performs Phase Inspections and Pre-List inspections for sellers preparing to go to market.
What ties it all together is how the findings are delivered. Clients receive a detailed report — usually within 24 hours — and Dawson takes the time to review the results, answer every question, and give honest, straightforward repair advice. Available six days a week (with Saturday inspections at no extra charge) and offering a $25 discount for military, first responders, clergy, healthcare workers, teachers, and senior citizens, Dawson makes it easy to get the confident, informed inspection you deserve.
Ivy League Home Inspections was built on a simple belief: buying a home is one of the largest and most important investments most people will ever make, and every buyer deserves the whole truth about a property before they sign. It's natural to fall for a home's location or charm — which is exactly why an independent, experienced inspector matters.
Dawson's standard never changes: assess every property with care, identify the issues that matter most, and explain each finding in plain language. He takes the time to walk through the report, answer questions, and offer honest repair advice — no rushed walkthroughs, no glossed-over findings, just an accurate, unbiased picture of the home delivered to the person who matters most: you.
"I treat every inspection like I'm buying the home myself — thorough, honest, and explained until it makes sense." — Dawson Nitcholas, Owner & Inspector
