Tips for Choosing a Home Inspector

Purchasing a home can be an exciting and worrisome experience but along with a professional Realtor, a good Home Inspector can help make your purchase a smooth transion.

There are several factors you should consider when looking for a good inspector:

• Look for inspectors who offer General Liability Insurance - An inspector who doesn't carry general liability insurance does not protect against property damage in the event the inspector damages the property before or after inspecting the home.
• Ask about their training qualifications - Training is key to a proper home inspection. Many inspectors may not have received formal training. Training limitations can lead to potential problems in the event something is not properly inspected.
• Look for an inspector who meet industry and state standards - Hiring an inspector who does not adhere to industry or state standards could result in missing thousands of dollars in problems, costing you additional money, time, and aggravation.
• Ask if your inspector if they provide services outside of a general home inspection - Among other areas, we like to have our inspectors test for Radon.
