Have you ever wondered what key qualities, skills, and certifications you should be vetting when selecting a home inspector? Here are some tips and information on differentiating red and green flags. Is the inspector currently and properly certified? Ask for proof of certification. Ask questions such as if they have completed any recent continuing education. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ask Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Asking questions is always a plus when getting into business with someone new! How long have they been a home inspector? What amount of relevant experience do they have? What types of inspections do they perform? Do they have skills in other relevant trades? Any advanced technology they use during the inspection? Gauging their responsiveness is also a great way to know if you’re making the right decision. It never hurts to ask; the more information you have, the better!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspection Process and Report<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another area to focus on is the <\/span>home inspection process and report<\/span><\/a>. How long does the inspection take, and can I be present? How long does the turnaround on your inspection report typically take, and do you have a sample report I can review? Don’t forget to ask about the home inspection cost<\/a>! Total cost and any specialized inspections for radon, termite, mold, or sewer scope inspections are an additional fee. You should know what you’re getting up front!<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for Red Flags<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are business qualities you can look out for right away – before even initiating contact. Does the company have positive reviews? Do they have a legitimate website with up-to-date information, sample reports, and other vital facts about the company? How relevant are their social media and search engine results? Little to no web presence can be a significant red flag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some other ways of finding information besides internet searches and social media are methods like word of mouth (first-hand recommendations go a long way!), asking real estate agents for referrals, as well as investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s pertinent to take the appropriate steps when selecting a home inspector. Research is key, and the options for finding out information are endless!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
