Know Your Inspector
Get a Referral
The best way to find a qualified home inspector is through referrals. Ask friends or colleagues who have recently purchased a home if they recommend their inspector. Most real estate agents regularly refer inspectors or inspection companies as well. If you know a real estate agent, ask her who she would have inspect a house she was going to buy.
Choose an Inspector
Interview the inspector or inspection firm about their qualifications, track records and how long they have been inspecting real estate. Avoid inspectors who want to do any repair work for you because this may influence their analysis of the property.
Work with Your Inspector
Schedule your inspection during daylight hours. All utilities should be switched on. Attend the inspection yourself if you can or ask your real estate agent to attend. You may also ask the seller's real estate agent to attend. That way, if the inspection turns up any significant defect, everyone will have a chance to see it. Be sure the inspector is aware of any prior disclosures from the real estate agent or seller. Expect to get a full report in writing.
These additional tips will let you know what to expect during the inspection and allow you ample time to prepare for the inspection.
