How to Avoid an Overzelous Inspector
I've recently had the luck of having two of my listings inspected by a WDO inspector that I, along with others I've spoken to, believe is a bit overzealous. Anyone have some advice on how to avoid this?
I remember a few years back one of the owners of my brokerage saying there was a home inspector in their area known for this. He said that they required their buyers use anyone else but him. That was of course when they were on the buyers side. Is there anyway to accomplish something similar on the sellers side?
He actually pried all the trim on the exterior walls off in the one home. He knocked most of it back in but it all had to be touched up again after that. I've never seen someone do that before.
