In Florida, there are no regulations or licensing requirements to become a home inspector. For prospective home buyers, it's a huge risk. Avoid placing your home buying decision, the largest financial investiment of your life, with an inexperienced, unqualified, and uninsured person. Often I am called in to inspect a home after a client hired a cheap inspector and only received a 30 minute walk thru with a two page check list left in the mailbox. A quality inspection takes two to three hours. A professional inspector is at least a member of ASHI, is insured, and will provide you a narrative writtten report with color photographs by the end of the next day, that should be at least 15 pages plus a summary, index and photos.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7221657258003481609-4993037430566324051?l=imhomeinspector.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greg Bertaux, P.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15301684346384137753noreply@blogger.com0
