Home Inspections by professional home inspectors > FAQ's By Home Buyers > How Do I Choose An Inspector
Search the FAQ for entries containing:
- Find an individual who only does inspections so you will get an unbiased opinion
- An inspector who has experience in building
- One who's willing to take the time to answer all your questions during the inspection
- One who gives you a detailed report (not a checklist, with only 20-30 pages) with useful information and color photos
- An inspector who is a professional member of an inspection association like CREIA, NACHI, ASHI or a similar related group. This insures you have an individual who has taken the time to be involved in the industry on a professional level with continuing education and has met the qualification standards of the group.
- Avoid price shopping. Home inspection fees vary widely. A home is the most expensive commodity you are likely to purchase and or sell in a lifetime. One defect missed by your inspector could cost 100 times what you save with a bargain inspection. The best method of price shopping is to shop for quality. Considering the high cost of real estate today, an inspection fee is a small price to pay. It can save thousands of dollars and years of regret.
