Do you think all home inspectors are the same?
The reality is that many home inspectors only have a general knowledge of the components of a home and how they work together. They are generalists by trade. That's not to say that they're clueless. They may be very knowledgeable of the theory.
I have actually built and remodeled homes for over 30 years!
This stuff isn't theory to me. I know building science. I have actually put the pieces together. I've even designed homes!
But how can you tell the difference between a good inspector and a bad one?
- Certification? All home inspectors have to be certified. It's the law in most states. InterNACHI and ASHI certifications are the most common that you'll find.
- Insurance? Most service businesses have to have multiple types of insurance. That's the law too. Look for General Liability and Professional Liability at least.
- Realtor recommendation? Who benefits from this arrangement? The chance of a conflict of interest is pretty high. Sometimes they're just drawing from a list of people that the brokerage has provided.
-
Lowest price? We all know that the lowest price isn't necessarily a bargain. If things get missed, who winds up paying the price?
That's not to say that these things aren't important, but they shouldn't form the basis of your decision. Even a person who offers a wide range of inspection services isn't necessarily the best option. You want someone who knows houses inside and out and that's harder to find.

Even though I had a successful contracting business, I had always assumed home inspectors had some arcane knowledge that I didn't. When I signed the purchase agreement for my first house, I started looking for one in the same way I normally screened subcontractors. What I discovered surprised me...
I knew more about houses than any of them did!
I had learned building science while working on my engineering degree which had given me several advantages as a contractor. Home inspectors also learn rudimentary building science, but I had another advantage. I had actually put the pieces together and knew how everything worked together.
Another problem I saw when looking for a home inspector was that most of them gave a big list of all the services they offered but had no guidance on what I would actually need. After digging in to it a little bit I found out I didn't need most of it!
