"What we believe you as the consumer do not want, is an inspection whose undisclosed and pre-dominate purpose is to market the Seller, the Sellers Agent, or the Buyers Agent (who may have an even greater conflict of interest by representing the Buyer while simultaneously being the Agent for the Seller). Many inspectors are encouraged to emphasize rendering a "balanced" report, and maintaining an objective and non-alarmist demeanor which stresses the positive aspects of a house, as well as the negative in such a way as to water down negative findings. A consumer then will have as little basis as possible to call the sale off or have solid evidence upon which to renegotiate the price.

"Deal killing" are dirty words and the behavior is dealt with severely. Most home inspectors rely on as much as 70 to 90% of their business coming from Buyer or Seller Agent referrals. This marketing and business philosophy is typically undisclosed to the consumer. The informational brochures reviewed by most new home owners to be are usually found in plain site in the waiting rooms of Real Estate offices across the country and deceptively highlight many a home inspectors independence, attention to detail and thoroughness which in the long run may have dire consequences. "This practice thus establishes an inherent conflict between the essential purposes of a home inspection to a consumer as described above and the duty of a Realtor® who is engaged to sell a home promptly at the highest price it will bring. It in many cases further establishes a pattern of willful non-disclosure on the part of those involved such as to render its report worthless to consumers."

What we believe a consumer of home inspection services would generally and reasonably expect is an inspection and report which forthrightly discloses physical conditions of a house which could reasonably affect the health, safety and welfare of its occupants. It should reveal and report conditions which may, presently or in the reasonably foreseeable future, cause the consumer substantial inconvenience or require costly repairs or maintenance expense. Indeed, the purpose of such a home inspection is to give a consumer a rational foundation upon which to decline to enter into a contract to buy, to provide lawful grounds to be relieved from a contractual commitment to buy, or to offer a sound basis upon which to negotiate a lower price."

It is this understanding of the significance of leverage at the bargaining table which will give you, the consumer and your representatives the tools with which to have confidence in your transactional decisions.
