What To Look For In A Home Inspector?
Don’t be afraid to ask the inspector you are considering to explain to you their background experience that led them to a home inspection career. The most qualified home inspectors have spent years servicing, remodeling, or building homes as contractors, carpenters or service technicians. They know what to look for because they have done it in the past. Professionals with this experience can have the best knowledge of the workmanship that went in to constructing the home and how individual components affect the performance of the entire system of the home during its lifespan. You want the knowledge and experience of a construction professional who knows the interior as well as exterior stresses that a home undergoes and how a remodel might alter the performance of the structure as a system.
Buying and selling property be an overwhelming and emotional experience which is often the biggest financial investment you will ever make. But don’t let that make you nervous – even the most seasoned real estate investors have overlooked important construction defects. This oftentimes happens because of the emotional euphoria of finding the “home of your dreams” or the offer of a great deal if purchased “as is.” But don’t let emotion blind you to a bad decision. It’s important to add a member to your team that can help keep you grounded with the objective facts of the property during this important process.
Whether you are purchasing or selling real estate it is important to remove obstacles and unknowns while approaching the negotiation table. You want a home inspector that is a member of an Accredited Association and participates in Ongoing Education.
