Why do all Realtor do the shopping for a Home Inspection for the client

By
Home Inspector with ABC Home Inspections,L.L.C.

This week I had several Realtor shopping price's for Home Inspection.All three where looking for the cheapest price possible. Wow...this is very crazy because do know you could be liable for that referral. If I was a Realtor I would get maybe five business card and let the client pick the Home Inspector. Because I would not want to be liable for future lawsuit.

As of right I know about three lawsuits that the Realtor referred this one home inspector.

John ~ The only agents who should be recommending only one inspector are the ones looking for lawsuits! I give a list of three and encourage them to look outside those three if they feel necessary.

I now give a list of 4 or 5 myself and let the client choose. Like you said the liability is huge even if the client wants you to look for an inspector for them.
