Taos Real Estate Inspectors

First, it is important that you know that home inspection is not a licensed activity in New Mexico. Thus you can find varying levels of ability and expertise. Also, since Taos is such a small area and a bit remote, we do not have a large selection of inspectors. Some are members of certification associations, some are not. Always ask if they have some type of Errors and Omissions Insurance. The inspectors below are, to my knowledge, a complete list working in the Taos Multiple Listing Service area. Note that, even if they do water well and septic inspections, these are generally just a water draw-down test of the well and a visual look at the septic. For a complete inspection of these items, you would need to call a well driller and a septic company. This list is in no particular order.
