No one wants to buy a "Money Pit", we are entitled to buy a product and enjoy its comfort and conveniences without having to fear spending huge amounts of money on their investment. The onus is on the purchaser to check out the qualifications and experience when choosing a Professional Commercial Building inspector.

Here are some good questions to ask:

  1. How long have you been in business?
  2. Check out website at http://whois.net this will tell you how long they have been around.
  3. Ask about quaifications...colleges are pumping out many new inspectors with basic course.
  4. Ask for some references...one or two from when they started and some recent ones...when doing over 500 inspections a year this would not be hard for an "experienced home inspector"
  5. If you think there is some doubt then just ask him to bring a copy of their business registration to the inspection.
  6. Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware ..... It is your money and your future - protect it
