What to look for in a home inspector

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Looking forward to the New Year, but not necessarily the rain and snow they are predicting.  That is not good news for our houses.

I will be posting a brief series in my blog on the 7 things you should look for when you need to hire a home inspector.  Today the tip is a basic one:  Find a home inspector that will work hard for you!  You want to find a home inspector that inspects full-time and loves it.  Full-time inspectors will spend more time with you than those that inspect part-time.  Personally, I like to take time to educate people about their homes if they have questions or concerns.  Additionally, I put in several hours completing a detailed report that gives customers very thorough information about their home.  Finally, be sure to hire an inspector that you feel you can trust.  Home inspectors rely heavily on word of mouth referral from past customers and realtors.  Find someone who you know has done a good job for someone you know.
