Response to a Home Inspector

 
 
Gelderman.ca real estate team blog - real estate home inspectionhttp://www.canadianrealestatemagazine.ca/news/item/1822-whistle-blower-points-to-home-inspection-shortfalls

On December 4th, Canadian Real Estate Magazine posted the above article about home inspections. It features an interview with a home inspector who has recently published a book on this issues with the home inspection profession - and attempts to blame Realtors for the problems.
 
This home inspector needs to give his head a shake. Here are the problems with his article:

1) Realtors(r) do not dictate how inspections result, and don't choose inspectors based on "blown sales." First off, Realtors(r) do not choose inspectors: buyers do.
 
Agents may recommend a few inspectors, but they may never recommend just one. And just as the Buyer freely chooses their Realtor(r), the buyer freely chooses their inspector.
