News flash! As some of you have seen or heard about as of late the market is flooded with foreclosure homes. With this growing market, some inspectors out in the field are unlicensed known as "Foreclosure Inspectors". In Texas, inspectors must be licensed to conduct home inspections, but the law doesn't apply to foreclosure walkthroughs. Even if your bank or mortgage company does not stipulate that a licensed home inspector examine your foreclosure, you need to research your inspector! Many of the "Foreclosure Inspectors" use a bank foreclosure inspection form that is nothing like the form a TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) Professional Real Estate Inspector is required to use, the difference is HUGE! Take the time to ask the home inspector you are about to hire a few questions: What is your background? (See the "About Us" page for KC Quality's) What is the scope of your inspection? (See the "What's Inspected" page for KC Quality's) Can I see a sample report? (See the "Sample Report" for KC Quality's) What does your report include? (KC Quality provides an oral report, computer-generated report on CD with photos onsite and the report can be emailed if needed) How long with the inspection take? (KC Quality will need 3-4 hours inspecting time for smaller houses plus we do ask for an extra hour at the end to go over the report to help you understand everything. Larger homes, older homes, homes with pools or out buildings may take 4-8 hours) Sorry but I do not understand how some inspectors can inspect a home, look over everything in detail (I am talking testing/checking everything) and then write up a report in a total of 2 hours. A report alone can take 30 minutes to an hour to generate (computer or hand written). Even on a 900 sq. ft. condominium you have items that take time to test, they take 3 hours for a good inspection. Please know that by no way are we trying to scare anyone about the inspectors out in the field today but you need to watch who you hire. The choice is yours but again please research your inspector!
