Looking for an ASHI Certified Home Inspector is your best bet IMHO. They have to go through quite a bit just to obtain that certification, then they have to maintain ongoing, continuing education credits to keep it. Put your address, or ZIP Code into the search in the link I supplied below, and only choose the certified inspectors and not the associate ones. Once you have a name, or company name re-search them online to see what people are saying on Facebook, Angie's list, or Google reviews. One or two negative feedback's out of several glowing reviews can be taken with a grain of salt, but if you see a pattern.John, any resources other than Google to look into this info?

Call and speak to them. As you are getting a feel for them, one great question to ask as a leading one, is "how long does it normally take so you can plan for it at work." If they say a half an hour or 45 minutes, tell him you'll call him back. Mine take about three hours on average and I am diligently working the entire time. I know it's a lot of work, and you're very busy right now, but getting stuck with a roof needing a replacement, or an expensive structural issue that your home inspector missed really sucks. A lot of home inspectors make the mistake of working for the agents that refer them, instead of working for the clients best interest.
