Not necessarily.
Good real estate agents live and breathe in the world of real estate. They’ve been around for years and there’s a reason for it…they surround themselves professionals they can trust – including their home inspectors.
They are constantly bombarded with the advertisements from home inspection companies and other vendors; but with the help of other seasoned agents and their broker, they weed out the good ones from the bad.
Again, I’m talking about real estate agents who operate with high integrity. Someone who works off referral business and wins over their clients with service, experience, and knowledge. A good agent is one whose response to a home that has many things found wrong after the home inspection is:
“Good thing we got it inspected, now let’s go find that dream home.”
Am I also suggesting that if an agent only uses one inspector, that you should use them? Maybe.
That agent may be surrounding themselves with a “team” so that they can deliver a quality and consistent experience for their client. In order to do that everyone on their “team” plays a vital role.
Be just as selective about your home inspector as you were the agent you chose to work with and the home you decided to buy because you’re signing up with their team, too. Be picky, interview a few, and choose the best fit for you.
