Home Inspectors are not licensed in Ohio

May. 13, 2007
Categorized in: Columbus Real Estate

Previously on Columbus Best Blog which is now Discover Columbus .... Jan. 23, 2006 - How to pick a home inspector ... it's sad when links die... there is a dead link to the OAR (Ohio Association of REALTORS®) article about licensing home inspectors.  Seventeen months and still we don't have licensing of home inspectors in our state. 

As I recall the broken link is to a history of how long legislation of licensing of home inspectors had taken.

Most of the article is about not using a home inspector recommended by anyone in the housing industry... with the idea that there is a conflict of interest, if your real estate agent recommends a good inspector.  Maybe the reporter is caught back in the early 90's when everyone licensed to sell real estate in the transaction represented the seller...

of course the buyer was the home inspector client. 

It's a good thing when the home inspector kills the deal.  That seldom happens deals go down over buyers's remorse and jitters related to the inspection.. but it is a wonderful thing when a good inspector saves a consumer from making a mistake.    

I am looking for guest bloggers... for both of my blogs including a home inspector who can write to consumers about the subject.  Want to learn to blog (write on a website...that's all it is) and you are a home inspector... join us on Active Rain.  Learn to blog.
