Buying or selling a home requires a major investment of time as well as money. As a matter of fact, it will be the largest financial investment undertaken by most people in their lifetime. Few things are as important to most people as having a safe, comfortable home. Hiring a qualified and professional, home inspector during the home purchase process can minimize headaches and financial loss as a result of an expensive, surprise home repair that might occur soon after purchase.

Most homebuyers recognize the need for a home inspection. However, very few know what credentials a qualified home inspector should possess, and most are unaware that the State of Georgia does not license home inspectors.

The Georgia Association of Home Inspector's (GAHI) rigorous membership qualifications fills this void. GAHI’s requirements for full membership are the most stringent in the country and require ICC Code Certification and yearly continuing education. GAHI trains member inspectors through monthly educational seminars and classes held at its own facility.

GAHI’s Code of Ethics emphasizes honesty and fairness, and recognizes the inspector’s responsibility to the public and to the profession. To learn more about the requirements your GAHI inspector must meet, Click Here.
