Paid $450 for VA Inspector/Appraiser and I was not present.

Posted

Buying a house using a VA loan. I made it clear to my agent, listing agent, and my banker I wanted to be present.

my understanding is that the Inspector/appraiser are the same person for VA loans.

Inspector/appraiser did their inspection without me being present.  Unhappy that I spent $450 and was not there.

I was planning to use the VA inspector/appraiser as my inspection and not have another inspector in. I have had a plumber/window people/insulation people go through the property for future work.

Anyone have experience?
