While on the topic, I am licensed as a realtor in NJ (but I don't practice 
it.)  Here is my advice on finding a good home inspector...

One, ask a few of the better realtors in the area for recommendations.

Then ask them to see recent reports they did.  They may give you a 
"confidentiality" line, tell them to take off the name and address them 
then. 

Make sure the report is not just a "check list" of items.  it should have 
details on items that are not up to standards as well.  The more reports 
you see, the better you can gauge good inspectors from snake charmers.

Lastly, do NOT shop by cost.  A good inspector will cost more.  If you go 
with the cheapest one, that is what you'll get.

I also recommend being there with them when they do the inspection.  Have 
clothes on to get dirty and make sure your guy spends alot of time looking 
around.
