How Do You Hire A Home Inspector?
Purchasing a home, for most people, will be the single largest monetary expenditure of their lives. The home inspector you hire to do the inspection on your future home is an extremely important choice that could affect you negatively or positively for years to come. Choosing your home inspector wisely will help give you the information you need to confidently move forward into the world of homeownership. Get a referral. Once you have written an offer which has been accepted by the Seller and you or your agent has included a “Home Inspection Contingency,” then it’s time to hire a home inspector. If you are working with a buyer’s agent, most agents have a relationship with several home inspectors. Ask your agent for a list of at least three home inspectors which he/she recommends. If you are not working with an agent, ask friends/family for a referral. If you are unable to obtain a referral from anyone and you are left to your own devices, use the Internet to get started on your search.
