I just ran across this article and would like to hear the opinion of others involved in the Real Estate industry.

Sounds like a hate article on Home Inspectors, and I am one, but I always like to learn so that I can improve myself.
Start with telling me if your state has regulations regarding Home Inspectors. I think that I know how this will play out but still whould like your input.
Sounds like a contractor to me. Soon contractors will be dirty little secrets one and three themselves.
Sure, because there is no possible way there could be a conflict of interest using a contractor to inspect a home in need of repairs. Give me a break.
"Hate article" is a apt description.
Mike that is truly unbelievable. Having been a Licensed General Contractor for over 33 years, I am pretty certain that being a general contractor would VERY rarely prepare anyone adequately for the field of home inspection----sounds counter intuitive I know but true. I find it ludicrous that anyone would compromise their integrity to suck up to any agent for 400-600 dollars. Most of us deal with dozens of agents over the course of a year----it is not like we only have one to suck up to:) And as Joel indicated, a contractor is WAY more likely to be in a position of looking for work from the buyer than the inspector is from an agent.
Hey guys, Realtors are bashed all the time, nice to see they are getting around to home inspectors, next it will be home stagers. LOL.
That article was written by some uninformed tightwad going by the moniker "Cranky Saver". Charles is right.
