Choosing the wrong Home Inspector can cost you a lot more than the fee you paid. If you choose a home inspector solely on price alone, you are headed down a dangerous thing that is why Click over here to find the right one.
Before choosing any inspector there are some things you need to know.
Tip #1: Find out as much as you can about the inspector you want to hire. Call them up and speak with them over the phone. Are they easy to talk to? Are they knowledgeable about homes? Will he/she email you a sample report? Is the report easy to read and understand?
You may also want to ask your friends and coworkers for referrals. However, never take their recommendations blindly. The majority of people have no idea if they received a good inspection or not. They just know they like the inspector and he pointed some things out. Research, research, research!
Tip #2: Never hire an Inspector solely on the recommendation of your Real Estate Agent.
These inspectors get their business from agents who control them. The agent knows the inspector will see to it that the inspection doesn’t derail the transaction. Even if your agent recommends 2,3 or more inspectors, it’s wiser to avoid the conflict of interest and find an inspector who works for you and you only.
You get what you pay for Price should be at the bottom of your list of priorities when shopping for an inspector. A good, thorough, and knowledgeable inspector will save you money while a poor inspector will cost you many times their fee. You may need that $100 bucks you saved to try and repair that $10,000 roof your inspector failed to warn you about.
