How Do I Find a Private Home Inspector?

May 26, 2015 by Marc Jacob

There are many ways Buyers can find a private residential home inspector for a home purchase. You can find one through word of mouth, a web search in your locality, or a referral from your real estate agent or attorney. Websites that review local service providers may also review local home inspectors. Or you can also contact organizations that certify home inspectors, such as American Society for Home Inspectors (ASHI), or pick an inspector from their website.

Generally, a private home inspector can suggest other inspectors the Buyer may need, such as for termite, roofing, plumbing, radon, lead-based paint, etc. Alternatively, the Buyer can seek out these other inspectors as needed, through other sources. toolbox

We feel it is very important for Buyers to hire their own private home inspector. A private home inspector should provide a detailed inspection report, along with digital images. This helps provide the Buyer clarity and an understanding of the inspection issues, which are important to have when it comes time to negotiate over them.

We recommend that our clients obtain a private home inspection as soon as possible after entering into a sale contract (or even before if possible). Once inspections are completed, and within the time frame provided for in the contract, the Buyer will generally submit an Inspection Notice or similar document requesting repairs or other concessions. Buyer’s attorney can more clearly inform the Seller as to repairs or other concessions the Buyer wants, when accompanied by a clear inspection report that contains digital images

If you have questions about hiring a home inspector, or would like to discuss inspection issues, please feel free to call us at 314.862.2237 or contact us at mjacob@marcjacobesq.com
