We plan to hire a home inspector within the next couple of months. Would appreciate any recommendations.

The safest way to select a home inspector is to pick one certified by the American Society of Home Inspectors. To do that, go to this site
American Society of Home Inspectors, ASHI

Have not a need for him, but reading his posts, he knows his stuff...

When we bought our house in TVs, we lived in Nevada. We hired an inspector from Orlando to come and inspect our home in order to receive a completely impartial, accurate appraisal, which we received. Just google Realtors in Orlando, and call one, ask for the manager, and get the name of an inspector. Cost us around $200, which is pretty standard.

Frank D'Angelo is the best! He is very professional and goes the extra mile. We had to change our time because of a family health issue so he did our inspection on a Friday which is usually his day off. We also needed a 4-point inspection for insurance reasons and he did much extra work on it and dropped the forms off at our house. Make sure you book a time well in advance since he is very busy.

I usually do not comment on threads like this unless asked to......but I just wanted to comment on this post. While I totally respect the opinion above, it somewhat infers that to "get a good inspection" you must go out of town.

While I cannot speak for all inspectors, as an ASHI Certified Inspector, I have an ethical obligation to the potential buyer who hires me. I do not work for The Villages or any Realtor. I am not "in bed" with any Realtor or The Villages in any way. I on purpose am not on any "Approved Villages" list.

Because I do inspections on homes in The Villages every day, I know the homes and models very well. I know where to look and what to look for and what I'll find when I do. An Inspector who normally works 40 miles away may not.

Buckeyephan...thank you for the kind words. I very much appreciate them.

willie72.......if you are looking to buy a home in The Villages, congratulations, and good luck on your search!

Respectfully, Frank

Frank. He's thorough, professional, and very easy to work with. He gets booked quickly.
