Choosing a top home inspector is very important. Home inspections can protect a buyer from unwanted surprises later on in the purchase of a home. The Milwaukee area is no different.

When looking for a home inspector you should:

1. Call and talk to at least 3 inspectors. Ask them questions about the home you want to purchase and what they will inspect.
2. Ask them about the associations they belong to. These associations give back to the home inspection community by demanding that inspectors that belong abide by a certain set of standards and are the top inspectors in their area. For example, interNACHI, www.nachi.org has a very stringent set of continuing education requirements that insures that your inspector has maintained education standards.
3. Ask if the inspector does radon or other testing, this shows that the inspector has gone beyond the simple home inspection, and diversified themselves. All quality radon inspectors should belong to the NEHA-NRPP, the National Environmental Health Association-National Radon Proficiency Program. Please visit their website at www.radongas.org.
4. Full service home inspectors will offer a variety of inspections such as Pre-Marketing inspections, home safety and maintenance inspections, and foreclosure evaluations. Make sure your inspector offers a variety of inspections. Visit www.cornerstonehomeinspectionwi.com for more examples of different types of inspections.
5. Ask if they follow the WI Standards of Practice, which they should.
6. Lastly, and not least, ask the price, many inspectors charge way to much for the inspections they do. Single family home inspections should not cost more than $300. Ask if they offer any coupons or discounts.
