Interesting. I wish there were more resources for this stuff. Even though I have a good agent and will continue to use her, I'm always interested in how to DIY things, even big things like real estate. I'm curious why you're paying for an inspector, though? Wouldn't the buyer want to hire their own inspector? Are you just looking for issues that the buyer might complain about? (My experience is that an inspector will _always_ find things that the buyer can use to negotiate the price down.) I was under the impression that the title company was also chosen by the buyer (or their agent). Although they generally expect the seller to pay for, well, almost everything. If the buyer is using an agent, I assume you're not paying the buying agent's 3%, right? I wonder if that would dissuade some buyers.
