I need to find a home inspector to do an inspection before we buy a home. Who would you recommend?
Question:We need it to be someone who is thorough, honest, reputable and not too expensive. The house is in Chattanooga, TN.
Answers:
Your best bet is to ask the Realtor you are doing business with for a recommendation. If you are not represented by a Realtor. Go to the american society of home inspectors website below and choose one from your area. They make sure their members are well trained and reputable.
i would just call any1..the first inspector poeple i see in da fonebook
Ask your realtor. They should have names of local inspectors. Or ask a friend who has recently used one.

Check with your realtor they usually can recommend one that is reliable.
Just found this blog on home inspection. http://homesafe-inspection.blogspot.com... ... I wouldn't trust a Realtor too much. They usually find inspectors who help them close deals not the inspector who finds the dangerous problems. I would tell you to ask a contractor but then again a contractor will only suggest those who have given him business by finding problems. I would call a few inspectors and talk to them. Find out what kind of training they have. Don't just pick a name from the phone book.
