Why are Home Inspectors hired?

This may seem like a trivial question, but let,s look at some of the possibilities:

. The clients want to make the most informed buying decision possible.

. The clients want a positive reinforcement of their decision.

. The clients are looking for leverage to get out of the deal.

. The clients are looking for leverage to renegotiate the purchase price.

. The mortgage insurer may insist on an inspection to protect their interest.
