Home Inspectors and "Bad Apples"

Home Inspectors  

Home inspectors can be a real asset in the biggest financial transaction of your life. How can consumers make sure to avoid any "bad apples?"  

Bad apples exist in every industry — and home inspection is not immune. Unfortunately, home inspection is not regulated consistently across all states within the nation. There are also schools and Internet sites that offer credentials that make it appear that a home inspector is qualified. For example, recently a web site popped up offering to "certify" anyone as a Master Inspector for $175.  

The home inspection profession is a demanding profession that requires a broad base of knowledge in all areas of home construction, maintenance and safety issues.
