Haha…I hear you. Clients and realtors say to me, “We are relieved the homeowner is a contractor. This should be an easy inspection.”
I am thinking about adding cost to the inspection just for that reason. lol.

Absolutely! Some of the worst homes I’ve ever inspected were “contractor owned”!

My client was buying through VA financing, so I was pretty sure the VA appraiser would call out the garage door opener as unsafe. Unfortunately, in FL, insurance sets the mood - often, realtors try to gloss over defects if they have no bearing if the property is not insurable. Since 99.9% are written as “as-is”, insurability and the FHA/VA appraiser are all they care about.
