Who is a Home Inspector?

Home inspectors are generalists with broad knowledge on many topics. The home inspector does a visual inspection and reports the major deficiencies and items affecting the habitability of the property. A good inspector must be well versed in all fields of residential construction and have good communication skills. The home inspector gives an overview of the condition of the property and discloses major defects.
