A: To find a home inspector, visit Home Advisor, submit a service request, and be matched with the ideal home inspection professional in your area.

If your state doesn't license home inspectors, and most states don't at this time, make sure they are trained or certified, and can supply some references to whom you can talk. Realtors might also be a good resource.
