I receive many contacts from real estate agents asking me how to find a Washington State "licensed home inspector" or change that to read "licensed structural pest inspector" or "HUD/FHA registered inspector".
The government, at all levels, tends to have search tools for locating such information. However, sometimes, finding the correct search tool is way too much hassle. For the convenience of everyone, including myself, I have put together this simple combined search tool for locating the three most common inspector designations in this state. This makes it all easy, and I am going to bookmark and keep this link to send to others. If you click on the logo below for the State Department of Licensing, you will be taken to their search tool. Under license type simply put in "home inspector" and any other information you wish to use to better refine the search to your city or county. That process will locate a state licensed home inspector.
If you are looking for a licensed structural pest inspector (and many home inspectors also carry this license) then you need to go to the search tool provided by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Click on the logo below, then near the top, center on the tool -- "single licensee, pesticide or structural pest inspector". Then fill out the city, county, license number, whatever you choose.
Lastly, below is the search tool for locating a FHA/HUD registered inspector. Simply click on the HUD logo and fill in the state, county, zip code to better refine your search.
Keep track of this combined search tool, or bookmark it, so finding a qualified inspector is easier the next time you are in the market for an inspector who is licensed and qualified to serve the specific needs of your client.
Thanks for stopping by,
