I have tried four times to book a table for ten at Gio's. The first time I was asked to hold, and immediately hung up on. The next three I got a recorded message explaining that I couldn't leave them a voicemail.

I have called five property inspectors enquiring about a four-point inspection. Not one has called me back.

I'm glad that they're all really busy, but it is frustrating not to be able to get any service.
Visit them IN PERSON and speak with them a out it:)

Just beware, as a licensed Realtor for 20 yrs in Mi we never referred a inspector. It was not allowed because of conflict of interest( if inspector finds a issue, agent loses a commission). Not saying your agent did anything wrong, but I would ask for a list of 10 and speak to previous client's. If a inspector misses something that costs thousands to repair they are only liable for cost of inspection, basically, you get your money back.
Again, not saying your agent did anything wrong, could be custom here.

It sounds wrong to me. I don't think it is a custom for a real estate agent to engage in a conflict of interest anywhere. The agent should remind the buyer that they work for the seller, not the buyer. And, they should not be selecting the buyer's inspector.

Agree 100%. You NorCal folk are a bit different. It's fun to check out the YouTube videos of Asians (Chinese and Viet mostly) comparing SoCal (Irvine) and NorCal (San Jose) Asians, same at the videos are entertaining as those comparing SoCal (Baja) Mexicans and food with TexMex folks and food.

Thank you for the "heads up", newgirl

My initial post was unclear, in that the agent gave me a list of four inspectors that they had worked with previously, rather than specifically "recommending" anyone.

I contacted twelve in total (of which six eventually replied) so the final choice was definitely mine.
