BUYER's CHOICE HOME INSPECTION
Tampa Home InspectorFlorida Licensed Home Inspector HI 164ChiefInspector@tampabay.rr.com
Purchasing a house is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. A huge decision that can be an emotionally charged event filled with anxiety, hopeful dreams and sometimes disappointments after moving in. It is a decision that will affect you and your family for years to come, especially financially. And of course, there is always considerable risk involved when making such a large purchase decision, whether the house will be an investment property, a seasonal home, or if you plan on living there.Though the house buying process can be extremely stressful and confusing, financial disaster or disappointments can be avoided or minimized if you know the true condition of the structure. This is probably not the best time to succumb to the common tricks & gimmicks such as coupons and “limited time offers” , and unusually low-priced quotes by assuming all licensed inspectors are even close to having similar experience & qualifications. Several hundred people within the Bay area have decided to become "Home Inspectors" within the past few years, due in part to lack of employment & relatively easy-to-get Florida Home Inspection License. Some of us have worked hard for decades to obtain hard-to-get training, experience & certifications and have inspected literally thousands of houses...every type imaginable. We all have to start out as an inexperienced "rookie" in our early days, just as we all encounter & hire the services of "rookies" quite often. The question you need to ask yourself; however, is hiring a "rookie" to inspect a huge investment such as a home really what you want to do? Start by verifying credentials, and start by verifying mine! Our Inspections will identify hidden or intentionally concealed So...just how Independent is your Inspector? Experience is What you Need. It is important to find not only a Florida licensed inspector, but much more critical, a Certified ASHI Inspector, ICC R5 code certified (see verification link below). We are COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT!!! In fact, well over 95% of all inspectors rely on real estate agents for early all of their business! We do NOT even walk into real estate offices, ever! You need a totally independent inspector...someone who will, without any hesitation whatsoever, tell you what you need to know about the home. You need an independent inspector with extensive experience in the area, someone who is aware of the sometimes-unique building and remodeling Verify Certifications!Verify Qualifications!Be aware of unscrupulous Inspectors advertising that their home inspection reports "meet or exceed all ASHI and FABI standards of practice" even though they aren't qualified to make this statement. What they don't tell you is that they are not actually Certified by these highly regarded home inspection organizations. These same "so-called home inspectors" often mention being a member of the International Code Council, and put the ICC logo on their web sites, even though in most cases, they have no certifications whatsoever. Fact is that anyone can become a member of the ICC simply by mailing in a check. Verify Certifications! Also be aware that with most multi-inspector (high-volume, quick inspection) companies, the owner is sometimes ASHI certified, but what you want & need to know is the certifications & qualifications of each and every home inspector involved with inspecting your home...often the biggest investment of your life. Unfortunately it is incredibly easy to simply become a Licensed Inspector in Florida. Verify the credentials that matter! Is Your Inspector Code Certified? Click Here to verify!!!
