Would I Make A Good Home Inspector?

Attention to detail & ability to maintain good documentation are qualities that make a good home inspector


Becoming a home inspector may be for you!

Home inspection is typically not an extremely physically demanding job, but it can demand that you be proficient at other things. Attention to detail and the ability to maintain good documentation, for instance, are qualities that are of paramount importance to a home inspector. Because the job also involves liaising directly with the homeowner or home buyer, good people skills are also very important.
Home inspection is also more complex than it may appear on the surface - there is a reason the training is so extensive! You will have to have a good basic understanding of all the systems in a home, along with the ability to recognize hidden red flags, in order to be a good home inspector.

If you:
  • have an interest in the field of real estate
  • have an eye for detail
  • enjoy the challenge of dealing with many different people
  • think you would enjoy managing your own business

then home inspection may be right for you!

Integrating your home inspection business with today's advanced mobile technology will be an investment that will pay off. The most successful home inspectors make better use of their limited, valuable time and make efficient use of technology to make both their, and their customers', lives easier.
