How Do You Choose The Right Home Inspector?

You will not meet the home inspector you have hired until the day of the inspection. The only contact you will have with the inspector before the inspection is on the phone when you hire him. There are many questions you should ask before hiring an  inspector. The last question you should ask is " How much do you charge?" Here are the questions you should ask first:

Ask the inspector about his/her:

1. Experience: What has prepared you to be a home inspector?
   
2. Certifications: What certifications do you hold?
   
3. Associations: What organizations do you belong to, and what are the requirements for membership?
4. Standards:  Do you adhere to a "Standard of Practice"?
5. Ethics:  Do you follow a "Code of Ethics"?
6. Verification:  When you have hired the inspector ask him to bring verification of 1-5 above to the inspection. He should be more than willing do so.
7. Sample report:  Ask him to email or fax you a sample report. This can show you what to expect and his level of professionalism.
8.  Price: How much do your services cost?
