The correct time to have done that would be a year ago before you closed on
the property.

Not sure one of those is going to do you a lot of good now.

The common reference to the "Bay Area" is that area on both sides of the
bay between San Fransisco and Oakland, California

TYPO alert: Francisco, not Fransisco. I can prove it was a typo since my
confirmation name is Francis. :-)

Nah, not necessary.

But you do have to distinguish between Matagorda Bay and Galveston Bay.

...perhaps among the sissified liberals who live there and perceive it as
the center of the universe...but for the rest of us, a little clarification
is in order..........

If possible ask a neighbor in your development who moved in before you
and has gone through this. Or a friend or work colleague.

Not necessarily the BEST way, but any realtor can give you the names of
home inspectors.

They're in the yellow pages of the phone book (Home Inspection).

There are one or more national organizations for home inspectors. I
forget the names. But googling should locate one for you, and I suspect
its web site would have a referral service.

Why don't you get the guy the House Detective show on TV uses? I
think his name is Steve Ramos and I'm sure you can get his name by
googling for the show. They use him all the time, he appears to be
based in the bay area and competent.
