How to Choose a Home Inspector
Like any other home service provider, home inspectors have different skill levels and reputations. Choose a home inspector with a reputation for quality and reliable inspection service.
Your home is likely your most significant investment. A home inspection provides essential information about the current condition of the home you plan to buy. Not only should you schedule a home inspection, but you should also research your home inspector to ensure you receive top service.
Hire a Local, Certified Home Inspector
Most home inspectors will list their certifications and professional associations on their websites. You can usually also verify that information online with a professional certification organization.

How to Find a Local Home Inspection Company
You can discover a list of home inspectors with a quick internet search. However, you may not find the best or most reliable companies. Combine your internet search with the insight of people you trust.
Real Estate Agents
Real estate agents typically have a list of service providers in their professional network, including home inspectors. Because who they recommend impacts the realtor’s reputation, they usually only recommend trusted companies with a proven reputation.
Friends and Family
Word of mouth is a great way to find home service providers. If you know friends, family or neighbors who have moved recently, ask who they used and if they were satisfied with the service they received. People you know will likely provide trusted information regarding their experience.
Professional Organizations
Most professional organizations list service providers with membership in their organization. Plus, most have requirements for membership that the home inspector must meet. We are members of the Florida Association of Building Inspectors and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, both reputable organizations for home inspection service providers. We also have certification for wind mitigation, four-point, commercial, mold, and indoor air quality inspections.
Do Your Research
Once you develop a list of at least two home inspectors, research the company and check their credentials. A professional home inspector will have a business license and insurance.
Ask for references and reach out to the contacts. Also, ask for a sample copy of their inspection report. Look for a company with a good reputation for quality service at a fair price.
Ensure the home inspector you hire will answer your questions during the inspection. You want to use the home inspection to gain knowledge about the home.
