[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most pre-inspections are "walk and talk" inspections. They're not gonna get into the attic and start going through stuff. Like another poster said, it's mostly going to be foundational stuff, cracks, potential leaks, HVAC, etc. A full inspection probably takes 2-2.5 hours, while a walk and talk is probably an hour. Only reason why a full inspection won't be ideal in this market is b/c the sellers want as many people looking at their house as possible.[/quote]

+1  Additionally, if timing were really tight, I would send the inspector off to do his thing in the short amount of time while we re-toured and looked at the things that were of particular interest to us.  The inspector is perfectly capable of coming back and verbally reporting findings once we all got outside.  Don't overthink this, people.  Would I pay $400-500 for an inspector to come in and do a quick look at a foundation, garage, roof, HVAC, kitchen, plumbing, electrical while we looked at the other parts of the house?  Absolutely.  We may be a little different.  We won't NOT buy because of something small.  It would have to be a major foundation issue that was virtually unsolvable without tearing down the house.[/quote]
