Spotlight Podcast

In our second podcast episode, Linas and Eryn welcome our special guest Ritchie Bisnauth, an experienced certified Home Inspector. We discuss how there has been a big push nationwide to start regulating and licensing the home inspection industry.

This has led to many high profile cases in the media of sub-standard home inspectors costing home owners thousands of dollars in unexpected home repair. We talk to Ritchie about his experience in the industry, including the steps that are starting to be taken to properly license and regulate the industry.
