Why An Independent Home Inspection Before Buying?
- 3 out of 4 homebuyers get their home inspector through a recommendation from a party that will "benefit" from the sale going through. This situation is most likely completely innocent. But, many times, the inspector is dependent on these recommendations for the majority of his business. It would be a "natural tendency" to have a "kinder eye" when inspecting these homes.

- My inspection findings will not be tempered in order to gain favor with anyone in hopes of getting on their "list of recommended" home inspectors. I am independent and work only for you, my client.
- There are many fine, professional realtors and a number have recommended my services to their clients, for which I am greatly appreciative. They understand, as I do, that a "once over lightly" home inspection benefits no one and ultimately hurts their client and their business. The realtors that have referred me to their clients understand that I will not try to curry favor with them by performing what I consider a "weak home inspection". In fact, these realtors welcome and encourage the thorough nature of my inspections.
- That said, my ongoing efforts are geared to convincing you, the potential homebuyer, of the advantages of an Independent home inspector.
- My inspections are designed to disclose those defects that could materially affect a home's safety and livability. These defects are found even in brand new homes. Discovering problems prior to closing can help you avoid the potential of having to spend enormous sums of money repairing items that an Independent inspector would have pointed out.
- One final thought: If you were buying a car and wanted to have it looked over before signing the contract, would you go to a mechanic recommended by someone that stood to gain financially from the sale?
Obviously, I hope that you will choose us to perform your next home inspection, but even if you don't, I urge you to find an "independent" home inspector to provide that extra level of peace-of-mind and safety.
