Today we'll be speaking about some very important questions that you need to be asking your home inspector when you have them come out and inspect your property, or your potential property. 

To help us with this, we have my preferred vendor: Keith Morgan of Property Inspection Consultants.

1. Look at their credentials. There is no such thing as a licensed home inspector in the state of California, so you want to look for the California Real Estate Inspection Association. This places credentials on inspectors after a rigorous exam. This is the same exam that home inspectors nationwide must take, and only 50% of people pass it.
2. Review their experience. Everybody has to start out somewhere, but you're better off picking a more experienced inspector. They will be more familiar with structures, as well as different builders in the area.
3. Pick an inspector that communicates well. Written reports are required in California, so you need to have someone who can communicate well in writing and in person. There are many things that you'll have to discuss with the inspector in order to determine if the house is desirable or not, so pick someone that you're comfortable with and able to communicate with.
