WHY HAVE A HOME INSPECTION?

SO MANY INSPECTORS... HOW DO I CHOOSE?

Are we not quite the right fit for you? No problem! But we want you to be protected no matter who you choose. When you call an inspector, remember - you are interviewing them for a job. A very important job! Be sure to ask them questions like:

  • How long have they been inspecting homes? Have they ever BUILT a home?

  • Will they walk the whole roof, or view from the edge with a ladder? How can one properly inspect without getting on the roof?

  • Will they crawl across the entire attic looking for roof leaks and dangerous electrical wiring, or only view from the platform?

  • How many hours will their inspection take? If the answer is less than 3 hrs, no matter the size, something is getting skipped!

  • Ask to see a sample report. Is it easy to follow and understand?

  • Is their report presented with short, easy to read bullet-point items, or do they write a long, difficult to understand narrative?

  • On the phone, do they sound helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable? Or do you feel like they don't want your business?

  • Is inspecting their sole occupation, or are they a 'weekend warrior'? Do they belong to professional inspector organizations?

  • Do they perform other inspections like termite, septic, & pool or will you need to search, schedule, and pay multiple inspectors?

  • Pricing is important, but is saving $50 or $100 worth the risk to your several hundred thousand dollar investment?

WHAT COULD BE WRONG?
