Georgia May Require License - Students Will Need Better Home Inspection Training

State legislators in Georgia recently passed a bill that will force home inspectors in the state to get a home inspection license - an effort that seeks to eliminate inspectors who don't have the proper home inspection training to professionally examine a house.

If the Governor signs the legislation into law, the new home inspector license requirements for the state would take effect in 2011. Currently there are 24 states that require a house inspector license.

The state's efforts will hopefully root-out poor inspectors. Gary Duncan, operations manager for the Georgia Association of Home Inspectors, recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that right now "anybody can print a business card and call himself a home inspector."

One of the major signs that an inspector is not qualified is their price: a quote of $150 (in Georgia) and an inspection that takes under two hours. Well-trained home inspectors in the state normally charge around $300 and spend several hours carefully going through the house.

Individuals who want to become a home inspector should make sure that they attend a nationally-accredited home inspection school. A quality home inspection course will ensure that students get a solid foundation for their home inspection career.
