The entire home inspection industry is made up of professionals that have migrated from other associated industries: construction contractors, realtors, real estate investors, architects, and engineers. However, being a home inspector requires considerable extra training, and there is no substitute for experience. Furthermore, there are certain challenges and liabilities inherent to the inspection industry that anyone considering opening their own service must know about before getting started.

Shadow an Inspector:
When you sign up for Inspector Training, we pair you with one of our certified home inspectors to spend time in the field as they conduct actual home inspections. The inspector will guide you through the entire process, noting unique points of interest.

Learn What to Look For:
After shadowing an inspector for a few evaluations, you'll begin identify common problems, and you'll start to understand the incredible scope of problems that afflict Florida homes.

How to Get Started:
There are so many aspects to inspecting a home some new inspectors find getting started daunting. Our inspectors show you how to put the project into perspective, show you how to dig in to the project, and present a logical order of operations that allows for a meticulous survey without wasting time or effort.

Report Writing:
The report is what the customer pays for. Because the industry does not dictate standard reporting methods, it's up to the inspector to craft a report that will adequately and thoroughly communicate all the strengths and weakness of the property. Our inspectors will give you advice and help you develop a reporting method that suits your inspection style. Sometimes houses have few or no problems, and reporting this type of property can be more challenging than a troubled home because the paying client expects you to find something wrong. It's important to learn how to report what is right as well as what is wrong.

Liability:
Clients expect home inspectors to note EVERYTHING that could possibly be wrong with a home. If an important detail is missed, and it becomes a serious problem for the homeowner, the inspector has opened himself to tremendous liability. Inspections often cost .001% of the cost of the home, but a litigious homeowner that blames you for a critical oversight could cost a fortune. The best line of defense is conducting an extraordinarily through inspection and carefully documenting everything.

Gain Confidence:
After several inspections, you'll know whether you have the knowledge base to become a home inspector or not. It takes no less than 50 inspections on your own before you'll really feel solid in your abilities (FABI requires 150 documented inspections before they'll consider you for membership), but confidence comes from understanding what to look for, and more importantly, from knowing how to get answers for situations you don't understand.

Many of our students have gone on to start successful inspection businesses. A few decided home inspection wasn't for them, and they've thanked us for keeping them from making an expensive mistake. Others became valued employees of All Florida Home Evaluation Inc.
