THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER AND ASK BEFORE YOU HIRE THE INSPECTOR
1. Know Your Inspectors Background, Experience, and Credentials
Consider the inspectors experience: How many inspections have they performed, their certifications,licenses, memberships and how long they have been in this business. Why? Because all inspectors are not created equal. Extensive training in the art of inspection or other code knowledge are important and come with experience. A properly trained inspector who is well versed in all aspects of residential construction is critical to a well - rounded inspector.
2. Does Your Inspector Have Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance?
Errors and omissions insurance (hereinafter "E&O") is an important consideration. Consider asking the inspector for a current declarations page of their E&O policy. The declarations page shows the type of policy, i.e. claims made or occurrence, coverage limits, and the policy periods. Complete Inspections Service carries E&O insurance.
3. Does Your Inspector Use An Inspection Agreement?
Complete Inspection Service requires the client sign the inspection agreement prior to the inspection. This agreement details the ground rules, the inspectors scope of work, and items outside of their scope. A report is given within twenty-four hours to the buyer for review. This report can be a negotiating tool prior to close of the property.
