Greenbrier grew up along the L&N tracks and still celebrates with its Turning of the Pig barbecue every July — Mark Schumacher brings a builder's eye to the homes here.
Greenbrier took shape in the 1870s along the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in southern Robertson County, growing quickly when a large nearby distillery put coopers and other workers to work. Today the city of roughly 6,900 runs along U.S. 41 about 23 miles north of Nashville, and locals mark each July 3 with the Turning of the Pig, a barbecue fundraiser for the Greenbrier High School band. The housing mix includes older homes near the town center, ranch houses from the growth spurts of the 1960s and 1970s, and newer subdivisions. Outlying homes on acreage may have wells or septic systems where present. Mark reaches Greenbrier by heading northwest from Hendersonville.
Owner Mark Schumacher inspects every Greenbrier home personally, backed by Tennessee License #1374 and the InterNACHI CPI designation. Long before his inspection career, he logged more than 40 years in construction across 40-plus states, working for clients such as Tommy Hilfiger and Jack Nicklaus. He has since finished more than 1,500 inspections, and his one-home-a-day schedule means a 1970s crawl space or a brand-new attic gets the same patient attention.
Greenbrier clients say Mark answers the phone, even on weekends, and makes sure they understand every finding. Qualifying inspections add a 90-day home warranty and a 5-year roof leak warranty, and there's a discount for veterans, teachers and first responders. Call 561-301-7571 to schedule with Mark as soon as your Greenbrier offer is accepted.

"Mark Schumacher from SP&D is by far the best home inspector I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Having him inspect the home we were about to buy was the best decision we made. He was so thorough, and detailed. He saved us from unexpected costs, pointing out issues that might've been overlooked by other inspectors. He answered all my phone calls, even on weekends, and fully explained all the issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of buying a home, to protect yourself with the best. His knowledge and experience is second to none. We will definitely use him again in the future."

"Mark did an excellent job. He was extremely thorough with great attention to detail. We had a poor experience with an inspector the last time we bought a home, so it was very important to us to feel confident that things were being handled in the best way possible. Mark was wonderful and took the time to go over every inch of the house with us and explain the things he'd found that needed attention. He was happy to answer our questions and was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter. I would recommend him to anyone who is thinking about buying and needs an inspection. Thank you, Mark!"
