What does a home inspector do?
A home inspector primarily does residential home inspections for home buyers or home sellers as part of a real estate transaction. Inspection data is compiled then a report is written using proprietary inspection software.
The purpose of an inspection is to provide our clients objective, non-threatening information to help them make informed decisions about the condition of a home they want to buy or sell.
It is a physically demanding, people-oriented career that relies on attention to detail and excellent communication. To be successful an inspector must be able to climb a ladder, crawl under a house, and carry tools and equipment, plus enjoy what they are doing and show it.
An inspector must effectively communicate with customers, clients, and other team members; operate a computer and digital camera; navigate the internet and use various software applications.
