“So—we hired an inspector from fifty miles away—way out of market.”
Smart move. Agents use ‘inspectors’ that support and not torpedo sales. Never use an agent’s recommendation. Never.
Inspectors, too, are never held accountable. They have contracts that simply stipulate “I find what I can, but buyer beware of anything else.”
Besides, a home inspector’s license is not much more than a Saturday afternoon affair. They are not experts in home construction in any way. My dumb little sister got her inspector’s license and she knows nothing of home construction.
Inspectors are like every other profession.
They range from outstanding to miserable.
The guy I hired had rough hands and dirty nails—obviously had done real work—and he knew his stuff.
A five minute discussion would eliminate the idiots.
