When should I contact a home inspector?  While many people wait until they put their earnest money down before contacting an inspector, we strongly encourage people to start shopping for an inspector as soon as they begin their property search. This is because once earnest money is put down, there is very little time (often less than 72 hours) to search for a qualified, licensed inspector.

How much time does it take to perform an inspection? Typical inspections take roughly two to three hours depending on the size and condition of the property.
