There are no federal laws governing home inspectors. We are regulated only by the individual states. Georgia currently does not have any license requirements for the home inspection industry or home builders at this time. How can you be sure that your inspector is qualified, experienced, and trustworthy? One way is through home inspector associations. Some of them require minimum training, education, experience, and adherence to ethical standards – be sure to check out the individual associations to see their individual requirements.
As a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), you can be assured that not only am I qualified, but I also adhere to the association’s standards of practice and code of ethics. You can find more information about ASHI at their website, www.ashi.org or the state chapter of www.ashigeorgia.com I am also building code certified by the International Code Council "ICC" for residential one and two family dwellings
