How To Choose a Home Inspector

It Pays To Do Some Research Before Hiring a Home Inspector

• States have varying requirements for licensing home inspectors. Check with your state to see which companies are licensed and insured.
• You can also check state websites and the Better Business Bureau for any complaints regarding a specific inspection company.
• Experience matters. The longer a company or individual inspector has been in business the better. Angie's List recommends hiring an inspector who has performed a minimum of 1000 inspections and has at least 5 years of experience.
• Check for industry affiliations, normally a good sign that an inspector is qualified (ASHI, InterNachi, NAHI, etc.)
• Consider hiring an independent home inspector (someone not recommended by your Realtor) to avoid any possible conflict of interest. ​​

• Ask your friends and family for references. Check an inspector's references before hiring.
• Go online to check reviews (Angie's List, Yelp, Google, Bing).
