Guide for choosing a Qualified Home Inspector

1. Insurance

Make sure the home inspector has proper General Liability and Errors and Omissions insurance.

2. Associations

Your home inspector should belong to at least one of the national associations for home inspectors such as the National Association of Home Inspectors, NAHI, or the American Society of Home Inspectors, ASHI. This will insure they subscribe to a standard set of practices and code of ethics.

3. Experience

Your home inspector should be familiar with home construction and have experience in the inner workings of building a home.

4. Real Estate Experience

Your home inspector should be some what familiar with the Real Estate buying and selling process.

5. Reporting

The reporting method your inspector uses should be clear and easy to read and understand.

Unfortunately the State of Florida has no licensing requirements for the Home Inspection Industry. Anyone can purchase an occuptional licence and call themselves a licensed home inspector.

Protect yourself and your largest investment and hire only qualified home inspectors.
