Recently, I went on a stakeout with a private investigator. He was showing me the 'ropes' of his business. For two days, we sat in his car and waited. We didn't see any 'action' till the last three hours. When that time came, I saw him jump into character and become someone so spy-like, that even I felt watched. The skills that we talked about needing to be an investigator, became life to him in a blink of an eye. I watched him control situations with little effort, and work the case with confidence.
Looking back at this, I realize that to be a Professional Home Inspector, you don't only need the training (as important as that is), but you need the natural skills. A Home Inspector is much like an investigator. The difference being, my 'mark' is the deficiencies the house is hiding. I gather information from what I see as early as entering the subdivision or street. I am constantly looking for clues that will show me what is not seen. I apply all my sleuthing skills to determine what is or is not a major problem. Skill can determine whether or not a simple crack in the basement can down the road be a major leakage. As a Home Inspector my job is to remove the stigma of the term 'Buyer Beware'. That can only be done with a healthy combination of Training, Experience, and Natural Skills.
