A professional home inspection is such a valuable investment. An analysis of the property, conducted by a specially trained and completely objective home inspector, can identify non-functioning systems, damaged building components, safety issues and quality installations. Having this information before you purchase, sell, repair or remodel can return many dividends, both financially and emotionally.
Qualified inspectors are confident in the quality and value of an inspection. They're eager to answer any questions to demonstrate the depth and importance of an inspection. Since inspectors are not required to have a state license, it is critical to ascertain & verify the following information:
- California Real Estate Inspection Association (CREIA) active membership. Most established and national Real Estate brokerages require their agents to only work with CREIA members. For the right reasons, CREIA has developed the Standards of Practice that outlines the minimum scope of a home inspection, Code of Ethics that mandates professionalism, integrity, dedication and good faith to the client. CREIA holds members to a high standard of ongoing education, often requiring twice as many educational credits compared to other professions serving the real estate community.

- Q: Does the State of California license home inspectors?

- Q: When buying real estate, am I required to have a home inspection?
A: No, a buyer can decide not to have a home inspection, but a quality home inspection provides assurance from a independent 3rd party. Everyone involved benefits from a home inspection. Even new homes, condos and condo-conversions benefit.
- Q: When to order or who orders a home inspection?
A: Most home inspections are requested and paid for by the buyer during escrow and time is usually of the essence. It is important to have an inspection completed and reviewed by the buyer and buyer's agent in a timely manner to determine if any requests for repairs need to be submitted to the seller. The report may recommend a further evaluation by a specialist in determining a remedy.
- Many times new sellers will request a home inspection to be done prior to listing their dwelling. This has numerous benefits: it allows ample time to remedy the affordable repairs and decreases any liability exposure by supplementing the Transfer Disclosure Statement. It also minimizes the chances of "discoveries" as a result of any buyers inspection during escrow.
