There are some important things you need to know about a home inspection. If you’ve ever bought or sold a home or you plan on buying a home at any point in the future, you’ll deal with an inspector at some point.
So who chooses the home inspector? It’s simple–you do. I highly suggest that before choosing one, you call them and ask them some questions. You want to ask what they will check, whether they will actually get on your roof and check it, whether they have a septic or sewer camera, whether they do thermal imaging, etc. You need to ask them whether they will look at something you’re concerned about; don’t just assume they’ll do it.
“DON’T JUST ASSUME THEY’LL INSPECT EVERYTHING YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT.”
Not all home inspectors are created equal, just like not all real estate agents are created equal. Since it’s your right to pick your home inspector, you need to pick the one that’s right for you.
