I hear this from home buyers quite a bit. I'll bet a lot of agents hear it too! Do you have an answer for your buyer's. Are you increasing your liability by NOT recommending a private third party inspection of new homes. What happens three years from now when your buyer is now your seller and the new buyer hires a quality third party home inspector.
Here's my answer: (the pages flip themselves or you can use the arrows to flip them.) (Click on the document to open it in a new window where it can be resized to be readable.)
Protect yourself. Get educated with a quality third party home inspection. No, not that guy that was doing computer work last week and now decided to be a home inspector after his layoff. Get a quality education on your new home.
Make sure you attend the inspection. Some things just don't communicate well in written form and you'll learn a lot more when you have the ability to stand in front of something and ask the home inspector questions about it.
