Should private home be certified?
Currently in Minnesota, there are no requirements or regulations placed upon private home inspectors. Sellers of property are allowing unaccompanied access to their homes to people claiming to be a Private Home Inspector with no background checks or requirement to display competency.
I agree that Minnesota should join the 31 other states which require Private Home Inspectors to be able to pass an exam about housing components and to have undergone a criminal background check

I’m an attorney in Minneapolis and I’ve litigated more than one case where the inspector must have arrived carrying a white cane.
Thanks for looking into this.
As a licensed real estate agent I support this as a much needed change.

My own home inspection was a joke and the guy missed a massive leak in the basement. Total waste of money and we had no recourse since there is zero accountability here.
