What is the best way to choose a home inspector. Do you choose one based on cost, experience or what? It is absolutely critical to get the your home inspected prior to buying it. This will save you a lot of headaches down the road.

I once had a client who decided to just pick the cheapest home inspector, because he was an “older guy” and should have more than 30 years experience. However he turned out to be a nightmare for my clients. Can you imagine that this guy, who has been doing home inspections for 30 years could not tell my clients whether the home has a basement or not? This to me was just a waste of money. They could have paid a more reputable home inspector a few dollars more for a better job.

I encourage my clients to seek out the Home Inpector Association for thier state, get at least 2 phone numbers from there and call. You should be able to get a good one like that. Getting the home inspected correctly is one of the most important decisions to make, prior to completing a real estate transaction
