Just wondering how the whole home inspection works when buying a home in The Villages.
I think we make the offer on the home, contingent on the home inspection.

We pay for the inspection? Can we/should we be present when they do the inspection?

It could be used to negotiate, both for us and the seller, so if I'm paying for it, I don't want the seller or the agent (who represents the seller) to see it unless I want them to.

Any recommendations for a good inspector? Are they licensed?

How thorough are these inspections? We know an instance in our hometown where a few days after closing, the sewer system backed up into the basement. That was after the inspection, so I think they missed something there, eh?
