Metro Detroit home inspectors

There a quite a few Metro Detroit home inspectorsout there. All you have to do is Google "metro Detroit home inspector" or "Wayne County home inspector" or "Oakland County home inspector" or "Macomb County home inspector" and you will find all you need.

If you are a Metro Detroit first time home buyer what do you look for? Michigan home inspectors don't have to be licensed or have any special training. (Hopefully that will change in the near future). What you should look for is their training or their credentials. Read their profile.

  1. How long have they been in business?
  2. Do they belong to any national associations?
  3. Do they teach?
  4. Do they have a background in the building industry?
  5. Did they take any specialized training?
  6. Are they certified?

These are just some of the questions you should ask yourself. Also ask one of your friends for a Metro Detroit home inspectorthat they used. And check them out. A referral from a friend that has used a home inspector is one way to get a home inspector.

As a Metro Detroit Realtor I try not to use just any one Metro Detroit home inspector. We don't care if you have your own inspector. As a real estate agent we don't want to be accused of being in cahoots with a home inspector. I want you to know what kind of potential issues that may arise from the purchase of the home and what are the hiddens issues you and I did not see.

Most Metro Detroit home inspectors charge from $250 -$450 depending on the size of the home and other buildings. I would say the average price is in the $300 range. I believe paying for a home inspection is the best money you can spend. It can save you from buying a money pit. Many home inspectors treat the inspection as a learning experience for the home buyer. The good ones point out potential future problems and tell you simple tips to help you maintain your new home.

I hope this gives you a good list of home inspectors to chose from. If you are a Metro Detroit Home inspector and want to get added to the list just email me.
