If you're shopping for a home inspector here are some questions to ask your potential inspector:
- Are you licensed? This is kind of a trick question as there is currently no licensing of Home Inspectors in the State of Minnesota.
- Do you belong to a trade association? All BPG inspectors are Certified Home Inspectors through ASHI or InterNachi.
- Is your report a handwritten checklist? All BPG reports are computer generated with professional software and include digital photos.
- Will I receive my report the same day? All BPG reports are available the same day. Even at the inspection if necessary.
- Do you have liability insurance? All BPG inspectors are covered under our general liability policy. We also carry workers compensation insurance to cover injuries to the inspector. The home owner would not be liable.
- Do you have Errors and Ommisions insurance? All BPG inspectors and referring agents are covered by our $2 million policy.
- How many inspections have you performed? Never ask how long they've been in business as they could be inspecting homes part time and only inspected 500 homes in the past 10 years. Our inspectors have inspected thousands of homes, full time, for the past several years. See our experience
- Can I attend the inspection? We encourange our clients to attend the entire inspection. Be wary of the inspectors who don't want you to attend or only want you to show up at the end so they can get paid.
- Do you charge by the square foot? At BPG in Minnesota we do. It's really none of our business what you're paying for your home and the purchase price has nothing to do with the amount of work we have to do during the inspection.
- Do you guarantee your work? At Buyers Protection Group we have a limited 90 day gaurantee on items inspected and a 100% satisfaction gaurantee. If you're not completely satisfied with our performance we'll refund your inspection fee. It's that simple.
