SELECTING  YOUR  BUILDING  INSPECTOR

Assuming that you are a prudent buyer, you are now in the process of “shopping” for your inspector and calling around to various firms for information. This process is one of the most important, yet least understood or prioritized actions performed by the potential purchaser. It is of utmost importance that you realize that not all inspectors are created equal! Remember, unlike selecting a commodity such as a television set, which is identical from one retailer to the next, varying only in price, the knowledge, experience and overall professionalism of various inspectors will vary tremendously from company to company, as will the relative fees charged. Accordingly, basing your choice of inspector on price alone is a grave and potentially very costly error that should be avoided at all costs.
