First Time Home Buyers

What must never be overlooked by a home inspector! 

Before Inspection 

Choose A Home Inspection Company with Top Credentials. You have a goal, you want to be well informed, and you want to make a wise investment. Choose a home inspection company that understands your needs and will work with you to help you meet your goals. Choose an ISHI Certified Inspector.


Be Sure To Obtain a Written Home Inspection Report

Be sure that your home inspection report will be a detailed written report, not a hand written checklist that is given to you at the conclusion of the home inspection. A checklist may be void of details and may not provide all of the information advice you need.


Don't Be Confused By Home Inspector "Certifications"

Don't be confused by home inspector "certifications" offered by, or sold by trade societies or companies, or obtained via home inspection home study courses, certifications are available to anybody, a high school diploma is not a requirement and certifications can be readily purchased. Choose an ISHI Certified member that follows strict Operating Principle's and Inspector Standards.
