buying from the right people will save you money in the long haul -- people have asked me many times how they can tell the "good" from the "bad" ... well, using the W3C validation tool is a good start

using the W3C validation tool is the quickest way to check the "validity" of a designer - it's easy; it's fast; and, it's free

Yes I agree with the validation and it is very important to check it. However, this will not apply if you are only buying the design alone and coding it either yourself or having someone else do it for you. But if the designer is doing both coding and designing, it is important to check the validation cause it could tell how experienced or inexperienced the designer is or how he/she cares about the coding or not.
