When buying a home—the biggest investment most people ever make—peace of mind comes from knowing it’s been inspected by one of the best in the business: a Certified Master Inspector® (CMI).
What Is a Certified Master Inspector?
A CMI is the highest professional designation in the home-inspection industry, earned—not given—through rigorous qualifications and ongoing education. To achieve this title, inspectors must:
Superior Training and Experience
CMIs have completed a minimum of 1,000 fee-paid inspections and/or hours of education, ensuring they are well-versed in identifying a wide range of issues within a home. With at least three years of experience required before they can even be considered for the title, CMIs bring a depth of knowledge to their inspections that is unmatched.
An Advanced Level of Competency
The CMI Advantage
Peace of Mind
A home that has been thoroughly inspected by a CMI and given a clean bill of health can command a higher resale value. This is because potential buyers will have greater confidence in the home’s condition.
