[quote=Anonymous]I am a full time home inspector with over eight years in the business and I advise consumers NOT to use the inspector recommended by anyone who has a financial interest in closing the sale. Often, a "preferred list" of inspectors provided by real estate salesmen is something that inspectors have paid to be listed on. In that sense, you are not getting the "best" but simply someone who was willing to pay for the referral. Many of my peers are so dependent upon referrals from real estate salesmen to stay in business that they would do NOTHING to jeopardize that relationship ... and consider their relationships and personal financial needs as they compose inspection reports. It's not hard to find a decent inspector when you simply look for someone who has a good enough track record to be able to be in the inspection business full time for more than five years. Ask for a sample report and expect to pay a bit more.[/quote]
