Credentials: Choosing A Home Inspector

Choosing a Certified Member of the American Society of Home Inspectors is your best assurance of getting a quality home inspection. These are the best and most experienced inspectors in Indiana!

Many people without specific home inspection credentials offer services. Likewise, credentials are not always what they seem. Engineering and architectural credentials alone do not prepare anyone to competently inspect homes and communicate the findings. A helping attitude, good communication skills, and mature judgment must supplement technical competence. Make sure you work with a company employing a contract which specifies both what is offered and what limitations apply. Some "warranties" offer little coverage. Read them carefully.

Why Choose an INASHI Certified Member?
Must pass a set of comprehensive written examinations
Must perform at least 250 fee paid inspections
Must complete a report review process
Must attend 20 hours of continuing education every year
Belongs to a reputable, internationally recognized, not-for-profit organization with a 30 year history.




Buyers and Sellers Benefits


Buyers Benefits:
The professional home inspection is the best way for potential homebuyers to effectively evaluate the risks of a property purchase. A major concern of homebuyers is being suddenly confronted with major (and costly) problems after they take possession of a property. A pre-purchase home inspection can reduce anxiety by screening for problems and itemizing them in a comprehensive report. This report may include approximations of repair costs and recommendations of useful upgrades to the property systems. The general result of a professional home inspection is that property buyers make significantly more informed purchases.

Sellers Benefits:
Home sellers who are planning to make improvements to their homes in order to increase its market value would be well advised to have it inspected first. A home inspector can help prioritize home improvements and offer advise on the best ways to approach repairs. More importantly, an inspector can help the seller identify potential or undiscovered problems before those problems become material for contract contingencies. By taking a pro-active approach one can avoid the frustrations many sellers encounter when they are asked to re-negotiate their contracts because of unanticipated problem areas.
