Chapter 1

If you picked up this book, you’re probably either considering a career in the home inspection industry, or maybe you’re just curious about the field. In either case, we’ll explore what it takes to make it in this relatively new, but flourishing field. Flourishing because, as of this writing, there is a housing boom in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that sales of new, single-family homes totaled 940,000 units in just one quarter. With so many new homes being built, and with so many homeowners becoming more informed about their home purchases, you guessed it, many will opt for a home inspection before buying. That’s good news for anyone considering getting into this field.
