|  A Complete Home Inspection You Can Truly Trust Seacliff Inspections is an Independent Home Inspection Service that does not market to, or solicit referrals from, real-estate agents or brokers. Most home inspectors rely on referrals from real-estate agents to make their living, while real-estate agents rely on a favorable home inspection to ensure their commission. By working at arms-length from real-estate agents, I avoid this inherent conflict-of-interest so you, the home buyer, can truly trust the inspection you are getting. Though it may make sound economic sense for inspection companies to cultivate business relationships with real-estate agents, it is not always ethical. Seacliff Inspections firmly believes: - the relationship between inspector and realtor creates a conflict-of-interests that compromises professional ethics & integrity
- the professional duty of a home inspector is to be completely INDEPENDENT of third party interests and deliver best practice to the home-buyer rather than serve the best interests of agents
- the inspector and inspection must be completely independent of any realtor influence
- service must be driven by a sincere and principled dedication to the interests of the home-buying client over those of the real estate agents
Diane Sawyer's Good Morning America segment on "Tricks of the real estate trade" watch this before you pick your home inspector. A Buyer's Market You Are The One In Control Due to the current state of the economy, you are the one in complete control when it comes to buying property. Sellers and real estate agents are now even more eager than ever for successful sales, and that puts extra pressure on agent-recommended building inspectors to view the property with a less critical eye. Remember that a thorough inspection can reveal undisclosed deficiencies in the home and the cost to remedy them can always be negotiated. No home is perfect. If our examination reveals that the home does not live up to the realtor's presentation, our detailed report will aid you in renegotiating the terms of the sale. A reputable realtor should recognize your claim for compensation and negotiate a solution acceptable to all parties.
