Who are you going to Call?

How to select your Home Inspector




You’ve been looking at homes for months, made an offer and its been accepted – Yippee!



Now it’s time to get the property inspected. Find out the real condition of the property. Looking beyond the fresh paint and new carpet. But who are you going to call?



It’s not like buying a candy bar; all inspectors are hardly alike. And the Great State of Georgia has No Minimum Requirements for a home inspector’s qualifications. That’s right, anybody can call themselves an expert home inspector, a certified master home inspector or any other impressive sounding title.



So what’s a Buyer or Seller to do? Ask a lot of questions, such as:



What’s your education? Architects, engineers and building science degrees are the best.



What’s your experience? How long have you been in business? How many homes have you inspected? Are you full time or part time?



What’s your professional affiliation? Are you a member of any national or state home inspection organization? Do you maintain a minimum number of continuing education credits annually? What does it mean to be “certified” by your organization?



When the above questions have been answered, then ask for a quotation and schedule availability, so you can evaluate and select the best inspection firm for you.
