I seem to find them to range from 250 for smaller places and 500 max for the larger ones with the inspectors I use. If you need a referral, I would be happy to provide some.

In the greater Seattle area most inspections are in the range of $375-$450 for a residentail home. The fees usually vary based on the size and age of the home. ie. an older home or a large home may cost more.Be sure that your inspector is licensed and prefferably also has a state pest inspection license. It is also a good sign when the inspector belongs to at least 1 of the professional inspector organizations. Ask for at least a couple of referrals and check them out too!
Don't skimp on the inspection. It is the best money you will spend.

Here is Arizona, most inspectors charge around $250-$350 for a 2000 sq, ft home. I prefer my clients use certified inspectors, usually certified by ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) or NAHI. This is just another level to be sure that your inspector is qualified. A lot of roofers, ect, jumped into the home inspection busiess when the housing market dropped, so you do want to shop their credentials and not just price. You may save $100 only to cost you thousands down the road.

Around Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic states, most general home inspections will cost $300-$500. Inspectors will add on fee for additional services. For example: a radon inspection will add about $100, a wood destroying insection inspection will add about $75 and so on for various additional inspections. As stated above, be sure your inspector is a member in good standing of a nationally certified professional organization.

They vary from $200 - $500, really does depend on the property type.
For instance one of my inspectors did a 2/flat for $500 whilst another did a SF, 4/bedrooms for $525.
I can provide you with referrals?

I like how no one who's replied so far even read the post, just the title.

Bradley I read the long article about what he charges. I simply just wanted to state that there are other options available as well.

I have been doing Home inspections for over 10 years in the Phoenix area. Most inspectors here base the price on the square footage and the age. We have guys that will work for 10 cents a foot, so an 800 sq ft condo is $80.
Most of the inspectors start about $200 but just like everything if you want someone with more training and experience you need to pay a little more.
I inspected a 10,000 square foot house last year, it was a $1,500 inspection That included the pool (with 7 different pumps) & the guest house.
Every area is a little different and has its own issues. I would want to ride with a Chicago inspector for a month or two before I even thought about doing inspections there as their buildings are so much different than ours.

Matt, what Bradley was pointing out is that the Poster (Mark) doesn't NEED a referral......since he's an inspector himself!!!!!......this was a promo for his services..........
Bradley - it's not unusual for those who respond to questions on these kind of sites to never bother reading what has already been said (thus, there are numerous repetitions of what has been said, on many forums)......or notice who is asking the question, or what it says next to their name (ie: Pro, Agent, Lender, etc)........it is what it is!
