We need a home warranty inspection before the end of July. We are using The Village People to manage the rental but they have been nothing but a huge disappointment. It takes weeks and several emails to get a response and we have figured out it is easier to just do things ourselves.
Does anyone have an inspector they would recommend?
How much does this cost?
Do we need to be present at the inspection?
Thank you in advance.

We used lntegrious Home Services (352) 344-3370. They have a contract that clearly states what services they are providing and the extent of their examination, the cost was reasonable ($465 in Dec 2021 which included roof and wind mitigation), and we were able to e-sign it (so you could do it remotely). The inspector we had was Jessie Morse, and he was extremely detailed. The report was well documented with pictures, and where possible dates and serial numbers (appliances, HVAC, etc). 4 years later, we haven't found anything that they missed. We did not have to be present, but wanted to be so we could ask him questions as he proceeded, and he was very helpful answering questions during the process.
