Would you want some inexperienced inspector conducting an inspection on your home? I think I know the answer to that one... but that's exactly what's happening to many home buyers in the Chicagoland area.
The only requirement to become a home inspector is to take a class and pass an exam. No hands-on experience required! No prior experience required! No "on-the-job" training required! And on top of that, having any insurance isn't a requirement either!
Now that you're in the know... how does one select an inspector to inspect their potential new home?
My name is Joe Schmalz and I'm the President of Mr. Home Inspector, Inc. I realize that purchasing a home can be a very stressful time for anyone, and my primary goal is to help you understand this process.
But first, let me explain what an inspection is, and how it can actually help and benefit you.
A home inspection consists of a non-invasive, visual inspection of your home and its systems. It's important that you know the conditions of the foundation, the roof, the a/c and heating sytems, along with the plumbing, electrical systems, appliances and everything else.
After the inspection, the home inspector will compile both a detailed and a summary report outlining their findings. Many of the existing homeowners living in the house are totally unaware of the fact their homes could potentially have problems that need major repairs... and I'm sure you don't want to pay for these repairs yourself after moving in, do you?
That's why having this information prior to closing puts you in a better position to negotiate price, repair costs, etc...
I know you may have a ton of questions about the home inspection process, so feel free to browse through my site. But first, I'd recommend you provide us with your first name and email address so I can send you my FREE Report, "7 Ways to Avoid Hiring the Blind Home Inspector". Just look over to the right and click the submit button with your details and we'll get it to you right away!
I'll also send you a copy of an actual home inspection report so you'll get a general idea of what we look for during the course of an inspection. If an inspector refuses to send you a sample copy of their reports, I'd suggest you continue looking!
Only an experienced home inspector can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision!
