Locate a Home Inspector
Did you know?
Since most states do not regulate home inspections – or home inspectors – it’s best get advice from a professional real estate agent or local Board of Realtors to be sure you get a bona fide qualified professional. Most real estate agents will recommend several inspectors for you to choose from.
Here’s some key advice for picking a Home Inspector:
Make sure your home inspector is insured. Only the most established inspectors carry Errors and Omissions liability insurance, which is difficult to qualify for, and expensive. It protects both the inspector and you.
Trust your instincts. If you do not feel comfortable with a prospective inspector, look elsewhere.
Beware just picking someone off the Internet. Since their inspection may well be the clincher in your house deal, you want to be sure that the inspector you choose is a qualified professional.
