I have a great inspector for you, contact Mark Emery at 1st. Choice Real Estate Inspections. Tell him I sent you!

If you are using an agent in the transaction, he or she should be able to recommend a qualified inspector. You can visit our website for local inspectors we have used - http://www.katiekteam.com

your real estate agt can help you w/this..They should have a list of inspectors for you to shop and choose from

Congratulations on buying your first house! Your real estate agent can probably suggest a few home inspectors. My suggestions are to spend a few minutes with the inspector on the phone prior to the inspection to understand specifically what he will be inspecting and I would suggest mentioning the information regarding the hurricane. Some home inspectors do not handle pest inspection and you may need to hire someone seperate to look for signs of termites.
Here are some questions I would suggest asking:
1. The condition of major appliances and equipment such as the furnace, AC unit, and kitchen appliances.

2. I would suggest asking about the wires that bring the electricity into the house- sometimes the main wire needs to be replaced. This wire is exposed to the outside elements and over time normal wear and tear means this needs to be replaced.

3. The condition of the roof. Estimated number of years before you will have to replace the roof, or sections of the roof

4. Ask is there are any signs of water in the basement

5. Ask for a written report of the inspectors findings. Review this report carefully and call the inspector with any questions.

I hope the above help and best of luck to you in your new home;)

I put together some information about home inspection on my website. http://www.myrealtorjill.com/for_buyers/learn_about_the_home…
Hope it helps.
