Since you are on the internet visiting my site you have easy access to countless other Professional Real Estate Inspection companies and I appreciate you taking the time to consider Cypress Inspections. While all inspectors are required to perform a minimum inspection per the Standards of Practice of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), not all inspectors and companies are the same. If you do not hire Cypress Inspections for your Professional Real Estate Inspection needs, please do your homework and hire an experienced and qualified inspector. Several factors to consider when looking for in an inspector include;
Experience. All inspectors must be licensed by TREC and their license number will indicate how long an individual has been licensed. My number is 2962 that was issued in 1991, with license numbers from the 6000’s-9000’s having been issued in the past couple of years. While an individual with a higher license number is “qualified” by TREC, that individual still has much to learn and is gaining experience; and maybe gaining that experience at your expense! Multi inspector companies may have very impressive advertisements that list numerous certifications, licenses and qualifications the owner maintains, but that may not be the experience the inspector being sent to your property has. Multi inspector companies tend to have inspectors with very high license numbers, therefore will send out inexperienced inspectors. Unfortunately there are many inspectors and inspection companies advertising online that do not advertise their license number. First, this is deceiving because they do not want you to know their inexperience and second, this is in violation of the Texas Real Estate License Act. All inspectors must list their license number on all advertisement. Do you want to hire an inspector who's first impression put forth to you is to violate the law?
Price. Let the need for a quality inspection be your guide in deciding whom to hire. An inspector's fee that may be $100.00-$175.00 higher than another is most likely basing their fee on experience, knowledge, presentation and thoroughness. If you are purchasing a home between $150,000-$500,000, are you going to let $175.00 be your deciding factor? Heck, just negotiate that extra fee off the sales price and use the extra money to hire the most thorough inspector you can find; it will be money well spent! If you base your decision only on the cheapest fee; just remember that you get what you pay for. If you think hiring experience is expensive, just imagine the cost of hiring an inexperienced inspector and discover the added cost once you take possession of the property!
Report writing. Get a sample report from each inspector you are considering. Why? Because, you maybe hiring a topnotch inspector but if they cannot communicate their findings and knowledge into a detailed and legible report, how will this help you. I have placed actual inspection reports on my website for your comparison. If an inspector is unwilling to provide an inspection report for your viewing, this should be a red flag to you!
I strongly encourage all of my clients to accompany me during the inspection. You should feel free to ask any questions you may have during the inspection process. I will point out problems and explain them to you. I will also show you the good points of the house as well. This will help you to get the most benefit from the inspection and gain the most understanding of the systems that make up your home.
Armed with the information my experience and knowledge will provide, you can make your decision with confidence. Whether you are purchasing a new or pre-owned residential or commercial property, Cypress Inspections is the Professional Real Estate Inspection company for you!
