How to Become a Home Inspector

YOUR NEW CAREER STARTS HERE

If you’re looking for a career that takes you out of the office and into the real world, home inspection could be the perfect fit. Becoming a licensed home inspector means flexibility, independence, and the chance to be your own boss. With more demand than supply in this field, inspectors have opportunities waiting across the country. Dream Home Inspections is here to help you step into this growing industry with confidence.

WHY TRAIN WITH DREAM HOME INSPECTIONS?

Making a career shift isn’t easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. Since 2006, Dream Home Inspections has built its reputation in Atlanta and beyond on honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Now, we’re using that same expertise to train the next generation of inspectors.

Our courses are designed to give you real-world knowledge and practical skills: how to evaluate properties, prepare clear inspection reports, and work effectively with homeowners and real estate professionals. With both online lessons and live field training, you’ll learn from experienced inspectors who know what it takes to succeed.

YOUR ROADMAP TO BECOMING AN INSPECTOR

Licensing steps vary by state, but the path usually looks like this:

Step 1 — Check Your State’s Rules
Each state sets its own requirements for inspectors. You may need a diploma or GED, liability insurance, and in some cases, supervised inspections or a licensing exam.

Step 2 — Pick the Training Path That Fits You
Dream Home Inspections offers two flexible options:

  • DIY Online Course
    • Full online curriculum covering inspection standards and techniques
    • Step-by-step video lessons you can revisit anytime
    • Learn at your own pace, wherever you are

  • Professional Package
    • Everything in the DIY Course
    • Live field training with seasoned inspectors
    • Hands-on practice in real homes
    • Mentorship and coaching for long-term success

Step 3 — Complete Your Training
Work through your chosen course and build the foundation for your career. Even if your state doesn’t require pre-licensing, training gives you the confidence and credibility to stand out.

Step 4 — Schedule Your Licensing Exam (if required)
Keep your knowledge fresh by booking your exam soon after training. Some states use the National Home Inspector Exam, while others have their own test.

Step 5 — Apply for Your License
Submit your application with the required documentation, which may include proof of insurance and state fees.

Step 6 — Launch Your New Career
Congratulations! You’re ready to start your journey as a home inspector. Build your own business or join a local firm—either way, opportunities are waiting. Don’t forget to stay current with continuing education requirements to keep your license active.
