The playbook for a home inspector

Where a home inspector's clients come from around a home offer, what owners and buyers read on OfferDue before booking, and the inspection records page to attach to a report.

Where clients come from

  1. Getting ready to sell

    Some owners book an inspection before listing. The pre-listing inspection page sets out what the official pages say: the Home Inspection Act, 2017 is not in force, RECO on latent defects, and how to request the City's permit records.

  2. The offer and its conditions

    Inside the inspection condition, buyers read the permits on record and basement flooding for the address. The inspection records page puts the public records beside the inspection report.

  • The towns served and the languages worked in.
  • Association membership or certification where held; Ontario has no inspector licence in force, and the listing says what was checked.
  • What the work covers: older homes, wells and septic, WETT, radon, sewer camera.

Listing on OfferDue is free and in the order businesses were checked, never paid for. Where a licence or register exists we check it before a listing shows.

The records to know

OfferDue's tools for this work

Each is sold once, at a flat price that is the same for every business; none is billed monthly. One that is not open to buy yet says so on its page.

The register and the line

Ontario has no licence or public register for this work that we know of. People commonly ask for references, proof of liability insurance and, where the business has workers, a WSIB clearance.

What OfferDue does and doesn't do with this business:

  • No inspection and no comment on the physical condition of a home: that is your work.
  • No opinion on whether work was done well: a permit on record says what the City approved and whether it was closed, nothing more.
  • No "inspected" or "verified by" claims: a report describes the public record on the day it was checked, not the home.
  • No fee tied to a booking, in either direction.
  • Listing is free and shows in the order businesses were checked: no business pays for a place, a label or an order on any page.
  • OfferDue takes no fee for a client who finds a listed business, and pays none to anyone for a client.
  • OfferDue's pages say what each record shows and where it comes from: never legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice.

Public-record information, not legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice. A listing on OfferDue is not a recommendation; check licences and references yourself.
