Finding a Home Inspector - Quick Tips
Before we talk about finding a home inspector, let's make sure we are on the same page. If you have any doubt as to whether or not you need a home inspection, let me put that question to rest.
Yes, you need a home inspection!
At the time of this writing, home inspections average around $300. That's a small price to pay for peace of mind. A competent home inspector will examine your home from every angle, from the roof to the foundation. If there are any major problems with the house, you'll know about it.
You'll even get a list of minor discrepancies, which makes a handy "fix it" list you can use once you own the home.
Finding a Home Inspector - Where to Look
If you know somebody who recently had a home inspection, that's a good place to start. Just make sure the home inspector is certified by a professional organization like the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). In fact, the ASHI's website is a great place to look as well. You might also take a look at HomeInspection.com.
