You are on your way to becoming a New York Home Inspector and Brooklyn School of Real Estate is the right choice. Our flexible course schedule is very convenient and our morning and evening classes will allow you to study at your own pace.

There are two ways to obtaining a license. An applicant must complete 140 hours of approved training, including 40 hours of unpaid inspection experience under the direct supervision of a licensed inspector, or have 100 hours of paid or unpaid inspection experience under the direct supervision of a licensed inspector. The applicant must also pass an approved written exam.

Additionally, there are grandfathering provisions in the law that recognizes the value of prior experience. To receive a license under this provision, an inspector must have inspected at least 100 homes within the last two years and passed an approved exam (currently believed to be the National Home Inspector Exam), or have inspected at least 250 homes for compensation and have been a practicing inspector for at least three years, prior to the enforcement of this law.
