While speaking with a friend who is a real estate agent, they mntioned the fact that while doing open houses, she has home inspectors showing up to "introduce" themselves, leaving cards/flyers etc... 

Being the personable type, she indicated that she didn't seem to mind - as long as the inspector is upfront about who they are. (Though with the home owner present it could be touch and go)  

Personally, I have not done this type of "introductions" so I can't speak from experience on this one but I would love to hear the opinions of both agents and inspectors.....what say ye?  Is the practice acceptable in your area or do you find it just a nuisance?
