Why Would You Want to Become a Professional Home Inspector?

Because, if you become a certified home inspector you will no longer have to work a 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. J-O-B or work at one isolated location five days per week. When you become a certified home inspector you become a member in a profession which is affiliated with one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the United States—Real Estate! When you work as a certified, independent fee-based home inspector you will be able to inspect single family homes in the field and work in the privacy of your private home office. You will be able to set your own hours and plan your work in relation to other family oriented activities, which are important to you and your family members. You will be able to utilize your education, talents and skills in a profession which will allow you to make an earned income based on how hard you want to work—not what someone feels you are worth.

Who Would Utilize the Home Inspector’s Services?

Since real estate is probably the largest industry in the United States, the certified home inspector plays a very important role in determining and protecting the value of residential homes, for both the buyer and the seller in a real estate transaction, within our great country. Real estate salespersons, real estate brokers, mortgage brokers, mortgage lenders and attorneys look to the home inspector to protect the interest of the buyer and the seller before completing a sale transaction on a single family residential dwelling.
