FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR HOME BUYERS

Question? Why should I even get a home inspection?

The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. You should learn
as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you
buy, so that you can minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties afterwards.
Of course, a home inspection also points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance
that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer
understanding of the subject property you are about to purchase.

If you are already a home owner, a home inspection may be used to identify problems in the making
and to learn preventive measures which might avoid costly future repairs. If you are planning to sell
your home, you may wish to have an home inspection prior to placing your home on the market. This
will give you a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's inspector,
and an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.

HOW TO SELECT A HOME INSPECTOR?

  • Make sure your home inspector meets the requirements of all laws and regulations in your
    state.
  • Your home inspector should have proper training or experience.
  • Ask if the home inspector is a member of a professional Home Inspection organization.
  • If your state or province does not require a license for home inspectors, it is important that
    the home inspector belongs to an association and abide by a set of standard practices and
    code of ethics that require professionalism in the industry. National home inspector
    organizations like the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), National
    Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI), and similar state or province level
    organizations require their members to adhere to strict standards of practice and continuing
    education.
  • Ideally, he should be referred by someone other than your real estate agent.
    The best home inspectors are often labeled by some agents as "Deal Breakers." Someone
    with this reputation is likely to provide a comprehensive home inspection.

What else can I ask a home inspector to help me make a decision?

  • What type of report do you deliver?
A home inspection should include a report that describes what was inspected. The best reports are
created using home inspection software that include pictures and comments specific to your home.

  • When and how do you deliver the report?
Inspectors using home inspection software can often deliver the report on site or at least deliver the
report thru the Internet for quicker delivery. Internet report delivery is often important for out of town
clients instead of messy faxes or costly overnight shipping.

  • Can I see a sample home inspection report?
Request a copy of a sample report to make sure it is detailed and easily understood. If you cannot
understand the report or if you lose interest in reading the ton of extra, useless information some reports
contain you probably will not read your own report and maybe miss important information.
Who is the cheapest? Inspectors all look at the same things right?
Every inspector is different and comes with strong points and weak points. You may save $50 by
choosing a cheaper inspector and he could miss $1,000 in problems. Usually, the best home inspectors
are not the cheapest.  If you want to save money, possibly thousands, then don't choose the cheapest
home inspector. A thorough and experienced home inspector is the best route to take.
