Buyers should attend all inspections
In one of my recent blogs, I talked about inspections. One comment asked me if agents should attend the inspection. The answer is yes. First, when the report comes out, you can understand what the inspector is saying. Also, it is quite common for Inspectors to say one thing at the house and another on their report. One reason for this is they frequently have pre-written clauses in their computer programs. But, I also think that the clients should be there. Instead of the buyer and seller relying on their agent's interpreting what the inspector did and didn't say, it is much better for them to hear it directly form the inspector. And, in the case of a buyer, if they didn't attend the inspection, then I would recommend that they NOT remove contingencies until they have read the report and discussed any issues directly with the inspector.
