Maybe that's your experience if you go with your Realtor's "suggested" inspector. Again, most home buyers probably just go this route since no one really cares about quality any more.
I researched my own inspector and chose a very technical retired engineer. He identified significant issues with the home that resulted in the price being reduced by 15%. You're an idiot if you waive inspections.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoHome inspections are a well known "easy money and no risk" side gig for general contractors in my area. They're all crap but I guess if you need someone to point out what's gonna need work in the next 2-20yr it's better than nothing.
- mcfly1985 6y agoTry finding an inspector who actually enjoys the job. They do great work.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoI don't need a home inspector. Short of catastrophic fire or flood there's nothing about a home I wouldn't just fix myself. The problem is the people who need someone to inspect the home for them don't know how to find a good inspector.
