What's Wrong With A Real Estate Agent Recommending
A Particular Home Inspector To A Prospective Home Buyer?
Sometimes an agent will recommend particular home inspectors to a prospective buyer, sometimes a list of three is given out or there might be brochures from a limited number of home inspectors on display in the real estate office. Who are these recommended inspectors? How did they "qualify" to get on the "approved" list? Is the agent recommending a thorough non-bias inspector or is the agent recommending someone who will help protect the potential commission? Unfortunately, some real estate agents view a thorough and non-bias home inspection as a threat to their sales commission. A prospective home buyer has the right to use an inspector of their own choosing. If a real estate agent tells you that you cannot use an inspector of your choosing, or insists that you use one of their "recommended" or "approved" inspectors, you should contact your attorney.
A Real Estate broker or sales agent who tries to get you to use an inspector of the agent's choice is trying to control the inspector selection process. Prospective home buyers must keep in mind that real estate agents who receive a commission from the property seller, are working in the best interest of their client, (the seller.) As the prospective home buyer, your home inspector needs to be working to protect your best interest?
