Tips When Hiring a Home Inspector (part 1 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

Are you selling a home or are you buying one? You certainly need the services of a qualified home inspector. In most states and cities in the US, and in other countries, there is actually no requirement for home inspection. However, most homebuyers need to make sure the homes they would acquire meet standard criteria in safety and durability. No one would definitely want to buy or live in a house that is about to explode or tear down.

You should not be surprised that most states and cities do not implement stringent regulations covering the home inspection sector. Thus, you may have a hard time finding and hiring qualified home inspectors. The task may me further difficult because surprisingly, there are just too many home inspection service providers operating in many communities. How could you be sure you are dealing with the right and qualified inspector? Here are several guidelines.

Ask for credible opinions. You might start the search by asking your relatives, friends, or colleagues if they could recommend any home inspector. Nothing beats actual experience. You may know if a friend in the past encountered a problem about home inspection. Likewise, you may hear about good inspectors, who did not cause any problem eventually. From the list you may get, go and conduct a background or satisfaction check.

You could also ask the opinion of a trustworthy real estate agent. Property agents of course work closely with home inspectors. Everyday, agents and inspectors meet, in different cases and homes. That us why it is just logical that real estate agents know who among the home inspectors are good and who are not. Ask for at least three recommendations or references from an agent.
