Licensed Inspectors
Not yet in Ohio
Not all states require that Home Inspectors are licensed. The number of states licensing Home Inspectors is growing all the time which is a good thing for home buyers. Unfortunately Ohio is not one of those states. This leaves you as a buyer in a position of not knowing who is good or bad, what is the Inspector going to do when he gets to the house, will he give you a thorough Inspection, or just gloss over the problems?
This lack of licensing and regulation puts the onus on you to choose a Home Inspector who adheres to the strict standards of practice and code of ethics.
An Inspector who is associated with a professional trade group that demands consistency and integrity in their Inspection business. The nations leading association sets the bench mark for Inspectors.....ASHI.
