Why do home inspectors miss stuff?

My bad you are perfect at your job and never miss anything is what I would like to say to people. In 11 years & over 10,000 inspection knock on wood I can honestly say we have never had a complaint about missing something. Have we missed stuff? Yes absolutely we have but I have not heard about because we bust our behind &  give the client enough information about the home for them to make an educated decision to buy it or not.

Fleas can come and GO !

Funny thing is a lot of Realtors and sellers say when we find something not working they say "It was fine yesterday?" well we were in the house two days ago and there were no fleas. Like we are lying about something. I useally say well I am fine today but could have a heart attack tommorrow so shut up (I don't really say shut up)

Why waiving a home inspection is just STUPID

Prepare your home for the home inspection

Preparing your home for an inspection is one of the most important steps you can take as a seller (or agent helping a seller). A well-prepared home makes a great impression, helps the inspection go smoothly, and can even prevent delays or price reductions.

The very sad thing about home inspection reports most people do not read them they just move on and then they forget about that leaking sink or roof issue that happens after they move in and then they call us to complain when it was in the report the first time

 

Reading an entire home inspection report thoroughly is crucial, as every detail can impact your understanding of the property's condition. If you're concerned about missing or forgetting important points, here's how to approach it:

1. **Start with a Complete Read-Through**: Read the entire report from start to finish without skipping any sections. This will give you an overall understanding of the property's condition.

2. **Highlight Key Issues**: As you read, highlight or make notes of any significant issues, such as structural concerns, electrical problems, or water damage. Pay special attention to anything marked as "major" or "urgent."

3. **Cross-Check with the Summary**: Most home inspection reports have a summary that lists the most critical findings. Cross-reference the summary with the details in the main report to ensure you don't miss anything.

4. **Ask for Clarification**: If any part of the report is unclear, don't hesitate to ask the inspector for clarification. Understanding every detail is vital before making decisions based on the report.

5. **Consult with Professionals**: For issues that are beyond your expertise, consider consulting a contractor, electrician, plumber, or another relevant professional to get a better understanding of the potential costs and risks.

6. **Use a Checklist**: If you're worried about forgetting something, create a checklist of items to address or discuss further with your real estate agent, lawyer, or the inspector.
