When it comes to hiring a home inspector, make sure you hire the right one. How can you be sure to do that? Here are a few suggestions:
- Be sure to hire a home inspector who belongs to a home inspection association. Either ASHI or InterNACHI are the primary ones. This usually indicates that the home inspector has put extra time and effort into being a better inspector for his clients.
- Hire a home inspector who provides a modern inspection report by using top-quality home inspection software. The inspection app that the inspector uses means a lot for the end product you will get – i.e. the home inspection report.
- Make sure that the inspector has a clear and understandable home inspection website. Why is this important? Because his website is an indication of the service he provides. Is the website clear, well put together, and informative? Then likely that is the type of person and inspector that he is.
- Make sure that the inspector is available. Is his phone number or his office phone number on his website? Do they respond to emails? Are they happy to answer questions? These are all important things to take note of.
- Do they have a home inspection franchise? If so, which one is it? Do they have a good reputation
- Also – and it may sound odd – but how did they start their home inspection business? Was it out of good motives and a solid background? Or was it just on a hunch to make money on the side and are they just fly-by-night? Choosing one with solid reasons is important.
Choosing the right home inspector can be a daunting task – but not an impossible one. Be sure to talk with your home inspector, learn about them, and check their online reviews. By doing your homework, you can make sure to choose a home inspector that is thorough, detail-oriented, and truly cares about you and your family.
