The best way to locate a qualified inspector is to obtain a referral and recommendation from someone you trust. Ask your friends and relatives who may have had the need for an inspector in the past. Your attorney and/or real estate agent may be able to assist you in this regard. Once you have obtained the name of a potential inspector, you may wish to check out his/her reputation through the Better Business Bureau and/or the Better Contractors Bureau. You may also wish to obtain references from the inspector and contact people who have used his/her services in the past.
