who do not like the inspectors on their list.
When they say liability is limited to your fee only?that is probably just until somebody sues you. If you choose to pursue this make sure you use your pre-inspection agreement and carry E&O.

But I highly doubt that would be the case. I’d venture to say that you are on a list and if you happen to get piacked you get the call, and maybe the job. But to have to wait till the deal closes to get the back end of the $$? No thanks. That could be months down the road…if the home even sells at all.
In my humble opinion that kinda makes a HI sound like a nuisance that has to be put up with. As if our services are not worthy of being paid in full at time of services rendered. Give me a break. Ask the realtor if he/she gets their cut 1/2 now and half later where the 'later' might be months from now.....if at all.
