Northern Virginia Home Buyer Guide"My Realtor Recommended Unethical Home Inspector..."
Here is a scenario: Here is the twist on t he above story: My response was to hire
an Attorney to find out the over all what happen. She did mention the
Realtor was both listing agent and buyer agent ( another reason to have
your own representation). The home inspector was a friend of the
Realtor. Her sense was since the Realtor was getting both the side deal,
the home inspector did not give them honest inspection. And the seller
was also involved since it had not completed the bath renovation as per
the code.Well I was no help to them but situation like these a good reminder(lesson learned )
First step buyers walking around with out representation to hire some one to represent and work for you! Secondly, just like you
took referral for your choice of contractor or your Realtor ask your
friends and family for recommendation. As a Realtor I do have
recommendation for a home inspector I personally think he is very
professional. But it is up to my buyers to interview him and hire him.
In our eworld bad word goes out faster than good words...so take time to
research every person you hire. Last but not least I always
want my buyers (all of them on contract) to be present for all
inspections. Bring along with you, your friends and family plus your own
camera or video recorder. It will be a big help in situation like
above.
