How To Choose a Home Inspector

Home Inspections & Warranties

The State of Vermont does not require Home Inspectors to be licensed. 

Once you have a property "Under Contract", you will need to set up an inspection.  It is best to contact at least three inspectors to get a sense of their experience, ability to deliver the report in a timely manner, and compare the cost of the inspections.   The cost is usually based on the following:
  1.  Size of Home/Condo - good to have the MLS data sheet to help you with this information
  2.  Location of Property - how far does the inspector have to travel?  Most do not charge for this, but go ahead and ask.
  3.  Additional Tests - these could include radon and water tests.

Sometimes, either before, during or after the inspection, the inspector may recommend you hire a specialist.  This could include a structural engineer, a septic inspector, a heating specialist, an electrician, or a plumber.   

Inspection Information - Since there are no license requirements, I have composed lists of inspectors based on the two organizations below.  Both require a high standards of practice and a strict code of ethics:
