It is important to understand, in Michigan, there are virtually no requirements to become a home inspector. The following is from the Michigan State License Search webpage:
Michigan Required State License(s):
Certified home inspectors are those who have completed a course or study program; and then have a certificate of proof that the course has been completed. This certificate is not issued by the state, nor recognized by the state.
For this reason you must make sure you vet the inspector you choose and make sure they are qualified. No Inspector will be perfect for everybody. For this reason I suggest you look for the following traits when hiring a home inspector:
- Make sure you home inspector is somebody you can easily talk to understand.
- Find an inspector that you trust
- You inspector should have in-field experience in multiple areas of construction
- Ask if they provide narrative reports with color photos so you are sure you clearly understand the information in the report.
