How to Find a Home Inspector (Without Losing Your Mind)
Buying a home is a big deal — and finding the right inspector can make or break the experience. We're here to make it simple (and maybe even a little fun).
1. Start With a Trusted Directory 👋
Use a reputable site (yes, this one!) to search licensed, reviewed, and verified inspectors by location and service type. That's what Inspectors List is built for.
2. Check Credentials
Look for license numbers, state verification, and memberships with organizations like InterNACHI or ASHI. On Inspectors List, we make those details easy to find.
3. Read Real Reviews
A five-star rating is great — but real reviews tell the story. See if past clients mention clarity, punctuality, and detailed reports.
4. Understand Their Services
Not all inspectors offer the same services. From 4-Point inspections to Wind Mits and Sewer Scopes, make sure the inspector fits your specific needs.
5. Reach Out — Ask Questions
A quick call or message can tell you a lot. Ask how soon they're available, what's included, and how fast you'll get your report.
6. Trust Your Gut (and Their Track Record)
If something feels off — move on. A great inspector is clear, communicative, and puts you at ease from the start.
