Pre-List inspection why do it & maybe not?
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.
Mice in my opinion are in about 70% of homes
Mice are a very common household problem in the U.S. and around the world. Here's a breakdown:
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 you should never skip a home inspection?
Why a big difference in pricing with home inspectors?
The wide range in fees for home inspectors comes down to several key factors. Here's a breakdown of why prices can vary so much:

Why waiving a home inspection is just STUPID
Waiving a home inspection is almost never a smart move, even in a hot market. It may seem like a way to make your offer more competitive, but it can expose you to serious risks that may cost you thousands—or even tens of thousands—down the road.
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.
Most homes are in poor condition at least in our area after doing 12,000 plus inspections we believe that 85% of homes have at least 20 to 30 sometimes 50 major recommendations that need repair to make the home safe prior to moving in
Why is this?
Just as everyone struggles to make ends meet especially the last couple of years money is not left over in the budget to put into the home or pay a professional who's going to do it right 95% of the time. There are also way too many people thinking that they can do plumbing or electrical on their own by watching a YouTube video or having their buddy help them who doesn't really know a thing about plumbing or electrical. Then you have the famous homeowner who thinks that duct tape will fix everything. One other big reason we see a lot after being a business for so many years we will get the chance to inspect the same home we did 3, 4, or 5 years ago and nothing is fixed from the previous home inspection when it was supposed to be fixed, that is really frustrating in our eyes.
Some major words of advice here when you have a home inspection on the property and the seller agrees to repairs, you should demand that only a licensed electrician or licensed plumber take care of those two items and then a professional contractor who should have a license fix the other stuff. The Sellers should provide you proof paid of the receipts of the work completed get this in writing before closing. I do not have a magic answer for people who do not take care of their homes other than it is lack of money, lack of experience lack of education in owning a home and procrastination which causes homes to be in poor condition
