Question : How do you go about deciding who is the best company/person to do a home inspection?
I mean they all seem so similar. Does it just boil down to price? How much does a typical inspection cost? What questions should I ask before choosing an inspector?

Usually if you’re purchasing a home using a realtor they will suggest a company to do the inspections and will get it set up for you. If you’re doing this on your own, I would suggest calling a few realtors in your area and see who they would recommend since they use these companies so frequently. You can expect to pay a few hundred dollars for most inspections, but it can vary depending on the company and how extensive the inspection is. Most states don’t have any guidelines or license requirements when it comes to home inspectors, so if you’re finding one on your own check with your local BBB and even places like Angie’s List. Make sure to ask how many inspections that they have done and for a list of references so you can talk to some others who have used them.
