Home buyers in Baker County have a limited choice of home inspectors as compared to neighboring counties. Baker County is more rural and real estate agents will often refer buyers to an inspector they’ve personally known for many years, rather than the inspector who may be the most qualified. Most home inspectors in Baker County appear to have minimal qualifications beyond the basic home inspector license.
