Hello everyone, John Watkins from Nashville Home Inspection here. While Searching the inter-net last week for TN Home Inspectors license status I noticed a disturbing trend. 30% of the Home Inspectors in TN that obtained their license in June of 2006(the first year licensing was required for TN Home Inspectors) had let their license expire. That means almost 1/3 of the home inspectors in TN that were working within the last 2 years are no longer inspecting homes. Or I should say are not legally inspecting homes. Before you refer or hire an inspector you need to be sure he is licenced because licensed home inspectors must have E & O insurance. E & O insurance is the only way that customers who are the victims of poor quality home inspectors can hope to recoup any damages suffered as a result of a poor home inspection. Do not assume your inspector’s licence is valid. I was suprised to see many experienced home inspectors in Nashville and Franklin had let their license expire. It is easy to research. go to: http://licsrch.state.tn.us/ you can search TN Home Inspectors lisence status in minutes.
