Why Home Inspections Matter

Given that the state of Georgia doesn’t require home inspections for home sales, some might be tempted to think that inspections don’t matter or aren’t necessary. In fact, the opposite is true – a quality home inspection can save home buyers a lot of stress and money. After earning a home inspector license in Georgia, you serve as the eyes and ears of your clients, looking for red flags that indicate a property might not be worth its asking price.

Home inspectors do more than just protect investments: They identify threats to the health and safety of the home’s residents. Mold, radon and other health hazards can lurk silently and invisibly throughout even the most impressive of homes. Without the help of a trained home inspector, buyers may get in over their heads without ever realizing there’s an issue.

How to Earn Your Georgia Home Inspector License

Because there are no official Georgia home inspector license standards to meet, you can get certified online in just a few weeks. Our convenient online course allows you to learn at your own speed and complete the material on a timeline that works with your schedule. Most people complete the class in about three weeks, but you can take as long as you’d like. Upon completion of the course, you’ll receive a certification number you can list on your website, business card and inspection reports right away.
