Is Your Home Inspector Licensed?

You're buying a home and it's probably one of the biggest investments you'll ever make.  You're going to hire a home inspector to check it out.  So, who do you hire?

Currently the standard contract to purchase a home in this area reads "Buyer's qualified inspectors".  Technically the home inspector you hire does not have to be licensed.  I'm sure there are many good ones out there that belong to various associations/organizations that are fully qualified.  However, did you know that the State of New Jersey has a program to license home inspectors?

The NJ Home Inspection Advisory Committee licenses home inspectors and regulates the home inspection profession.  These inspectors are regulated by the State of NJ and follow State Standards of Practice.  Want to know if the home inspector you're hiring is licensed?  You can search the Home Inspectors Licensee Directory.

Again, this is probably one of the biggest investments you'll ever make.  Don't leave your inspection up to chance.  Make sure they're licensed to give you peace of mind about your inspection.

Hi Ravi

What an excellent post; I had one a bit ago where the guy was not licensed and I asked him to leave.

The buyers actually knew they had to have a licensed Inspector in Wisconsin

Sincerely
