The Difference Between An Amateur and A Professional Home Inspector

As a prospective buyer, you will be working closely with several people from real estate agents to lawyers to home inspectors. With plenty of inspectors advertising their expertise, how can you really tell whether your home inspector knows what s/he is doing?

A good rule of thumb is to know exactly who you are dealing with and what they can offer. With home inspectors, determine the strength of a candidate's credentials by inquiring as to the length and quality of their experience.

Pay careful attention to the manner in which a potential home inspector makes his/her explanations. The mark of a professional home inspector is in-depth knowledge and excellent communication skills. Being aware of technical vernacular and complex concepts may indicate a thorough understanding of the field but an inability to translate that to the client will be entirely fruitless for you.

To weed out the amateurs from the seasoned veterans in the field, inquire about qualifications and training programs or certifications that have been undertaken. AllMax Home Inspections and Property Services selects only the cream of the crop in choosing their inspectors. Our rigorous standards do not end there. With continuing education programs and in-house training, we ensure that our home inspectors will always exceed your expectations. .

No two homes are alike. This is why it is important to identify whether your home inspector has experience in a variety of different types of homes. Catering to your individual property's needs is the motto of a true expert. A formulaic approach to home inspection will not get you the answers that you need to make an informed decision.

It is also worth noting how long a home inspector has been active in the field. A professional home inspector will have several years to one's name. With over 50 years of combined construction experience, AllMax thrives on the collective body of knowledge formed over time by its capable home inspectors.

AllMax Home Inspections and Property Services has become a household name because of our professional service and expertise. We take home inspection seriously because we understand that your house is not just a house: it is your family nest.
