New Hampshire Home Buyer You need to Beware, all though starting in 2010, all regular New Hampshire Home Buyer and Seller, Home Inspectors need to hold a license in order to perform Realestate Home Inspections.
But there has not been one provision put in place, by the governing body over seeing the licensing of Home Inspectors. To prevent or to protect You the Home Buying Consumer, from any form of Conflicts of Interest between New Hampshire Realestate Broker/Owners, Brokers, Buyer Brokers, Agents, Sales Associates and Home Inspectors.
Even though most Real Estate Agencies will hand you the home buyer 3 or 4 Home Inspector business cards, they will usually give you 2 high end price inspectors and the inspector, will lets say friend. Sometimes there's financial referral arrangements between a Realestate Agency and Home Inspection Company's in the State of New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Home Buyer You need to Beware, as a home buyer, you must bear in mind that most all Realtors do work on a commission basis, their commission is usually around the 6% rage of the home's Selle's price. Don't take me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, but however You the Home Buyer need to remember that Brokers, and Agents do have family's to support, and bills to pay.
Unfortunately many New Hampshire Real Estate Brokers and Agents look at an independent, and un-biased Home Inspection as being a possible threat to their monetary incentive and are sometimes fearful that haven the involvement of a Home Inspector just might as Agents say, Kill the home Selle deal, or at the very least, decrease the amount of the sale and consequently lessen their sales commission.
New Hampshire Home Buyer You need to Beware, although most New Hampshire Realestate Brokers and Agents are honorable professionals, there are some out there that are not!!! If for some reason that you should feel that a Real Estate Brokers or an Agent is suggesting or recommending, or in some way steering you towards a particular Home Inspector, that sure should raise a Red Flag.
If a New Hampshire Broker or Agent should suggest that a Home Inspection would be a total waste of your time and money. A Broker or Agent should always suggest for a Home Buyer to have the Home Inspected and that Home Inspector should be one of your choice only. Just about every Real Estate Agency has a spot of some kind, for clients to pick up business cards and brochures. You should tell the Broker or Agent, that you will take a few of the different brochures and business cards, that you like. And that you will decide which Home Inspector you'll hire.
New Hampshire Home Buyer You need to Beware, If a Broker or an Agent should say to you, this Inspector is a good one, we or I use him or her all the time, this Inspector is too expensive or takes too long. You can be assured that the Broker or Agent is trying to control the selection of the Home Inspector you're going to use.
The last thing a New Hampshire Real Estate Broker or Agent wants is to lose a Home sale because of a Home Inspector just might find too many things wrong with the home, too their liking. And consequently, just might recommend an Inspector that over looks things, and working more for the Agency that the Broker or Agent is working out of. And not for You the Home Buyer, a Inspector who will be a bit more sympathetic to them, or totally rush through the Inspection in order for the sale to go through, or so the Inspector will receive more referrals from the Agency in the future.
New Hampshire Home Buyer You need to Beware, if your New Hampshire Real Estate Agent Recommended a Particular Home Inspector, or none at all. You want to Beware!!!!

Dale: As a Broker in California I tell my clients to be at the inspection and ask any and all questions to try to find out all known facts about the property. Information is not a threat to me, it is assurance that my buyer will find out more information up front and less unexpected problems after they move in.
