By hiring a reputable home inspector, you\u2019re protecting your investment. Most potential home buyers have their homes inspected before buying. The question is\u2026 who is the person doing the inspecting? We\u2019ve all heard of those shady, so-called \u201chome inspectors\u201d that try to tell you about problems that aren\u2019t really there just so they can offer to do the repairs for you. Or what about the ones that just don\u2019t care and end up missing major issues with the house because they were in a rush to get out of there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orlando Realtors<\/a> claim that the problem with the home inspection industry is that it\u2019s not closely regulated and it\u2019s seriously lacking in the quality control department. It\u2019s important to ensure that the inspector you choose is licensed, insured, and experienced. Remember\u2026 this is someone you hired to help you decide if you\u2019re going to commit to buying this home or not\u2026 which is one of the biggest financial commitments you\u2019ll make in your lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure you hired a true professional these are some tips on what to expect when you\u2019re inspecting your inspector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Certification- Make sure that your home inspector went to a reputable school that requires annual re testing for all active licensees.<\/li>
  2. Insurance- Your home inspector should be fully insured including liability, workers comp and E& O [errors and omissions] Insurance. If your inspector can\u2019t provide you with proper proof of insurance, then it\u2019s time to keep looking.<\/li>
  3. Guarantee- A good home inspector will have no problem backing up his findings with a written guarantee.<\/li>
  4. Conflict of Interest- It\u2019s never a good idea to hire a home inspector that\u2019s also a contractor. He could end up trying to make a career out of your house. First he\u2019ll charge you to do the inspection, then he\u2019ll want you to hire him to fix everything. Be sure to hire a home inspector that works as a home inspector full-time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When you\u2019re ready to hire a home inspector, ask your Orlando Realtor<\/a> for a recommendation. Your agent should be able to provide you with at least 2 or 3 good ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
