Can anyone recommend a reputable inspector they have recently used?
Thanks!!
My two cents worth. Hopefully you have an attorney. Reminder the real estate sales person works for the seller-not for you. You want to be sure you have a binding contract saying subject to inspection. There will of course be a time restriction-fair to all-whatever that means. You do not want to pay for a home inspection and discover the home is sold. The seller is of course aware that a home inspector will likely find something and the buyer will expect the seller to pay to correct it.

I'm not an attorney and frankly I do not like attorneys. However, real estate is more money than most people are used to dealing with. My understanding the law is only what is in writing is enforceable. Stuff like the seller must disclose.......... It is very difficult to prove anyone knows anything.
