Home Inspectors:I can't stress enough how important it is to hire a Home Inspector during your inspection period. To help ensure that you receive a qualified inspection, I recommend that you ask your inspector the following seven questions: 1) How long have you been an inspector; 2) what qualification do you have as an inspector; 3) are you insured; 4) can you provide references; 5) What does your inspection cover; 6) How much do you charge; 7) may I be present at the inspection?
