I’m starting to see a very disturbing trend developing between the home inspection industry and the real estate marketplace: non-client home sellers are bringing claims against home inspectors for the failure of their clients to follow through on the agreement of sale as a consequence of the home inspector’s findings.
Some of these frustrated sellers, desperately attempting to unload a home in a still slowly recovering housing market, vent their fury at the home inspector for a lost sale in entirely inappropriate ways.
How should you, the competent home inspector just fulfilling your professional duty, handle these angry home sellers when a filed complaint comes your way?
I go through how to squash these unreasonable requests in full force in this week’s video blog.
