Orlando Real Estate agent<\/a>. Your agent should be able to provide you with a list of credible home inspectors in the area. And just like when you\u2019re hiring a real estate agent, don\u2019t just pick the first one you come across. Speak to a few home inspectors from the top search results and be sure to check their online reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHere are a few questions you should ask a home inspector before hiring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat exactly is covered in your inspection? Make sure the inspection report provided will meet all applicable requirements from your lender.<\/span><\/li>How many home inspections have you completed? Try to hire someone with at least a few hundred inspections under their belt.<\/span><\/li>How long have you been inspecting homes? It\u2019s recommended to hire someone with a lot of experience.<\/span><\/li>What\u2019s your area of expertise? The answer should be residential.<\/span><\/li>How long will the inspection take? The inspector should take at least 2 hours to perform a thorough inspection of your home.<\/span><\/li>What\u2019s the price of the inspection? A typical home inspection should cost somewhere between $300-$500 depending on the size of the home.<\/span><\/li>Will you provide me with a written report? Ask to see a sample report to make sure you understand it.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn addition to these interview questions, you should be present for the inspection if at all possible. By shadowing the inspector and asking questions, you\u2019ll gain a lot of valuable information about the home and probably some great maintenance tips as well. If the inspector has a problem with you being there, then it\u2019s time to find a new home inspector.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Congratulations, you\u2019re almost there!
