Thanks for the comment Dave. Dead issue, the state did NOT have the money.

Old post but thanks for the comment anyway.

Real estate agents are licensed by the state, to protect consumers from us if I understand it correctly. Real estate training does not give RE licensees any expertise or authority to "look that hard or tell you anything" about structure, maintenance, etc.

Again thanks for your thoughts!

I don't see why the state would want to take on more expense of over paid state workers to do the testing, sitting in their office,etc. If they keep it up we will need a license to paint our house. all an inspector is. is another set of eyes to look over the home that you are thinking of buying and giving their opinion. we all know the real estate agent sure the hell isn't going to look that hard or tell you anything. I know I have bought a lot of homes.

There is no licensing in the State of Ohio for home inspectors now.

Licensing is handled by the State of Ohio so you would go to their website and call them for any questions about licensing for any field.
