Residential Property Inspection

Per Kentucky law, students are not allowed to complete more than 9 hours of Post-Licensing coursework per day. It's the students responsibility to track their hours. Please contact KRI with any questions.

Course Goals

This course is designed to give a detailed discussion of the items that may be included in a professional home inspection report along with the common characteristics of most inspection reports and inspection procedures.

This course is organized by looking at the structure from the exterior, the interior, the major house systems, and environmental hazards. The course also examines the role of the licensee in the inspection process, the seller, and agent property disclosure requirements and the buyer's obligations with respect to reliance upon a seller's representations as to the condition of the property.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Outline the licensee's responsibilities throughout the inspection process, including the selection of an inspector, disclosure, and etiquette.
• List major points of inspection for residential interior, exterior, environment, and major house systems.
• Identify areas that a home inspector is NOT required to inspect and be able to recommend further inquiry if necessary.

Course Materials

This course is composed of 3 hours of reading material. The course is divided into five segments. Review quizzes are at the end of each segment.

At the end of the course a final examination is required. The final examination consists of 15 questions. A test score of 75% or greater is required for course completion. The final examination is not downloadable or printable. A course completion certificate for Kentucky real estate continuing education credit will be issued after passing the final exam and completing an end-of-course survey.
