This topic can be very touchy if taken the wrong way. Through my years of inspecting, I have met and worked with MANY wonderful agents. The reason for this post is because I was asked today to take it easy on a house with my inspection. This is the first time that I had worked with this agent. She proceeded to tell me how many listings she had and how much more business she could throw my way. This really makes me wonder, how many inspectors that are in need of business, are giving in under these circumstances. I could see how one may think that he has this agent on his side after giving in for this inspection. I politely told her that I understand that she probably needed the sell, but, I am here for the clients best interest, which is to let them know ALL of the facts about the house they were looking at. She seemed somewhat disgruntled and realized that I was not going to give in to her request. She started back tracking and telling me that she was not looking for me to not do a thorough inspection.
Does this really go on and I am just oblivious to the situation or was this a common occurrence?
