    Home inspectors are not liable for missed items, so to me, they are a waste of money. Get your sewer line scoped with a camera, I've payed $160 . Pay attention to all, all water sources, from the plumbing, the sky and the ground, look for damage or repairs. Have walls been removed ? Were they load bearing one's and if you don't know that, then you shouldn't be doing an inspection . Hinges, knobs slides, anything that moves. Drafts, smells, and sounds. Put a radio on and see how far sound travels outside and in.

    Never get a home inspector recommendation from the Realtor. The agent is going to recommend an inspector who will not kill the deal by being a tough inspector.

      Valid opinion! There are definitely shady real estate agents out there who might do that.
      My hope is that people vet their real estate agent enough up-front so they won't run into an issue like that.

    I am scheduled to meet with a home inspector tomorrow it's 2.5 hours away from where we live now. Being a first-time home buyer I am researching as much as possible. The home was built in 1996 and sits on 3 ac. It looks well-maintained. Septic, Pest, and appraisal inspections will follow. It's in a rural area in California with a population of approx. 1,275
    Is there anything else I should have inspected? Does anyone know? Thank you for a very informative video.

    Can you explain having inspections done with FHA vs Conventional? I've heard with conventional loans, sellers aren't on the hook to get everything fixed. My wife and I are first-time home buyers and (without getting into specifics) the home we are interested in requires a lot of repairs (roof, deck, windows, pool, AC?, etc) (pre-inspection) but the seller will only entertain conventional buyers. Any options or thoughts? Thanks!

    Our agent has been fantastic. unfortunately, she got the wuhan flu and can't be there with me today for the inspection, so she's sending another agent. Sucks, but its reality. I know a couple of the issues already, but in this market, getting anything replaced or repaired is tough. Barring something major, we'll probably just deal with it.

      @WinTheHouseYouLove I think most people would agree there are more agents just concerned about their commission than their clients best interests. Out of 8 l have worked with, l might use 1 or possibly 2 again. That's a bad ratio. Self serving, lazy, over paid industry for the most part. With a small number of good agents mixed in. The NAR settlement was for good reason. l hope it changes the industry for the better..
