I'm the fourth inspector. Really ?

Hi Kristine,

Look at the bigger picture here. If i inspect a home for a buyer or seller. I know I am doing the job I was hired to do.

No matter who I might make mad. Even if it costs me client's in the future. Why should it cost me client's any way? They hired me to do a job and I did it. Too bad if they had "issues".

Have a great day In New Jersey.

Good morning Keith,

The truth is, some inspectors get too "casual" with their inspections. They tell the client with they want to hear.

Have a great day my friend.

Hi Ginny.

I don't hear the "clean report" hardly at all. My number one Realtor that recommends me is always saying

"if it's there Clint will find it". A great referral, but I know I might miss something down the road. No one is perfect.

Have a good day in Rhode Island.

Hello Al,

I think it all arose from the fact that the home owner was offered a purchase price for the home.

With the stipulation that all the defects that were found were to be repaired before the closing. This would be money out of pocket for the seller.

This was the main issue for her. She wants to sell the home "as is" .

Have a great day in Florida .

Hi Donald,

Your right when we go out and inspect a home, we are there to look for the defects that are generally   "have or are going to contribute to a problem in the future".

With that said, the seller should brace for the worst and hope for the best.

Thanks for the comment and for sharing your thoughts.

Hello James,

I found out the when the new water heater was installed. It was inspected by the local mechanical inspector.

She said he passed the job with no problems. Too bad he did not notice the venting problem.

Have a great day in N.W. Arkansas.

Yes it does Roy. No one ever knows what an inspector will find once inspecting the home.

Have a good day in VA.

Good morning Barbara,

The reason is.

1.  When she bought the home she had an inspection done. This was three years ago. She claims that there has been nothing changed but the water heater.

2. When the water heater was inspected for proper installation she said she had the inspector look at the whole home and could find nothing wrong.

3, A year ago, my competition was there to do a home inspection for a buyer.

4. Now my turn. I found a lot of things no one else found. 

See wha you can do when you do your job correctly.

Have a great day in Rockwall Texas.

Thanks for the comment Roy.

Nice to see the great pictures every day. You are the man and woman (Delores). LOL

Have a great day. Best, Clint Mckie

Hi Jerry,

Welcome to my posts.

First of all don't mention "as is". There have been way too many of those homes here sold this way. I was told by a Realtor here that the homes are being inspected by the agents, then if they don't find anything major they want the home owner to try to sell the property "as is" this will save the buyer a inspection fee up front.

All they have the buyer do is sign a waiver for the inspection.

Sad but true.

Have a great day in San Antonio, Texas. Great City.
