Getting a home inspection is one of the most important steps of buying a home. It can help you find out about any problems in the home, and can allow you to request that the seller fixes the problems in order to complete the real estate deal. To make sure that you use the best home inspector, keep these 3 tips in mind.
- Hire an inspector that is associated with a professional inspection organization. Some of the most reputable inspector associations include the NAHI and National Institute of Building Inspectors. Ask for proof that the inspector is part of one of these associates before allowing them to inspect your home.
- Do not just take the advice of your agent. While most real estate agents will recommend a good inspector, some will not. Use their recommendations as a starting place to do your research to choosing the right inspector.
- Ask the right questions. Ask for the inspectors resume, and for any recommendations. Make sure that they have insurance and get their guarantee in writing.
