Home inspections can be defining factors in the home-buying process, so it’s important that you find a licensed home inspector that you can trust to perform a high-quality inspection. There’s no shortage of inspectors, however, so searching through the options and picking one can be a daunting task. To make the selection process easier, we’ve included this list of three of the most important qualities to look for in a licensed home inspector.
- Attention to detail. It goes without saying that your home inspector needs to catch everything. The whole point of a home inspection is to identify any hidden issues with the home, so you need someone who will notice small details and not miss any problems. This will result in more accurate inspection reports.
- Timeliness. Real estate moves fast, and if you’re buying a home, you want to know the details of the property sooner rather than later. Your home inspector should be timely both in their inspections as well as any communication they have with you.
- Knowledgeable. Home inspections are complex and require training and knowledge about various home systems to be done correctly and reliably. You want a home inspector who knows what they’re doing so you can rely on the results of their inspection to make an educated decision about the home you intend to purchase.
