Selecting your inspector is as important as selecting the home that meets your needs. Many inspections reflect the fact that the individual was neither competent nor qualified.  Unfortunately many inspectors falsely claim affiliations, licenses and possessing E&O insurance.  You need to verify before choosing your inspector.   Even licensed contractors in most cases are not qualified to be home inspectors as very few have hands on experience in every single phase of construction but rather are specialists in one or two particular areas.  Keep in mind that an incompetent real estate agent can lose his/her license but an incompetent home inspector just moves on to the next inspection.  Use only an insured professional home inspector who has met the training and experience required to obtain a recognized certification, one who consistently takes ongoing education to maintain his/her certification and who is a member in good standing of a reputable home inspection organization such as AII, ASHI or CREIA. 

Are you looking for the cheapest inspection? DON’T.  You could wind up paying thousands of dollars after move-in for issues you had no idea existed.
