You’ve warily singled out the house that you are purchasing. Make sure you are as selective when finding your private inspector.
Who does the inspector really work for? The home inspector should be only concerned with you, the buyer, RIGHT? You’ll want to make certain that the only thing the inspector is worried about is that you know what the defects are with the house.
Some home inspectors treat the Realtor as the customer, and YOU as only a referral. You must ask every inspector you call this question. “Are you working for me or the real estate agent?” If they flounder, hang up the phone!
Why should you ask that question? Because some home inspectors depend on business from Realtors. If they make the Realtor mad by doing their job and helping you avoid buying the “Money Pit”, some Realtors will remove the inspector from their list!
Fantastic real estate agents that are concerned about their client’s best interests refer the best, most detailed, home inspectors, who are most often the most expensive. If you find an inspector that is a lot more expensive than the rest, they are more thorough! These professional real estate agents want you to be aware of ALL the issues with the home. If there are major defects with the house, they want you to know. But you need to be aware of those shady agents who don’t care about anything but closing the deal. They will have a hand full of inspectors that will be looking out for the agents Pay check Not YOU!
Because buying a home without knowing what the real condition is can come back to haunt you, make confident that the inspector realizes who the client is. Be sure it’s you.
I came across this website for a Jacksonville, FL Home Inspection company they seem to understand who the customer is. There are some really good video testimonials and defect videos!
