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

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.

Mice intrusion is a common issue in homes, but the exact number or percentage of homes affected can vary based on several factors, including location, age of the home, and how well it is maintained. While precise global or national statistics can be hard to pin down, some surveys and studies provide insights:

1. **National Pest Management Association (NPMA):** According to the NPMA, approximately 21 million homes in the United States experience rodent infestations each year. This includes both mice and rats.

2. **Urban vs. Rural:** Homes in urban areas might have a higher likelihood of rodent intrusion due to higher population density and proximity to food sources. Conversely, rural homes might also be prone to mice due to their proximity to open fields and natural habitats for mice.

3. **Seasonal Variation:** Mice intrusion tends to increase during the colder months (fall and winter) as rodents seek shelter and warmth inside homes. During these periods, it's estimated that around 29% of U.S. households report seeing a rodent.

4. **Older Homes:** Older homes, especially those with cracks, gaps, or deteriorating foundations, are more likely to experience mice intrusions due to easier access points.

5. **Preventative Measures:** Homes without proper preventative measures, such as sealed entry points, regular pest control, and cleanliness, are more susceptible to mice.

While it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact global figure, it's clear that mice intrusion is a widespread issue affecting millions of homes, particularly in certain regions and during specific times of the year.
