Home and Auto KC Home Inspectors

Hey all,

I'm a first-time home buyer in the Kansas City area, and I guess all I can say about the process is, WOW! I thought it would be a lot of work, and was ready to put in whatever time necessary to purchase a house. But I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into. Luckily, I'm the type who wants even more to get the deal done whenever I'm stressed...

We're just at the point of having an offer contract signed by both parties. Now, we're looking for a home inspection service to test for termites and radon. My girlfriend's dad is a retired carpenter, and he did a thorough check of the premises, but recommended getting a licensed inspector to report his findings-- and we have a clause in the contract regarding compensation for, or correction of, those issues.

Anybody highly recommend any particular home inspector? As I am young, and this is taking an incredible strain on my budget, I'd want to keep it somewhat inexpensive, but I'm not really willing to sacrifice quality in the name of saving a penny. So really, I'm probably negotiable, but would prefer to stay lower.

Thanks in advance.
