Actually this is normal language used by professional home inspectors.





All our inspectors are licensed and handpicked.





I don't understand why you have to make a personal attack against me. Please explain.





20 years worth of closings. But then I don't let little things make me mad and I do what I can to keep my clients from getting upset. No luck involved.





So the buyer is not asking for all this stuff to be fixed and you let yourself and your seller get your panties all up in a wad over something that is not an issue. This combined with your personal attack on me reveals what is probably the root cause for your problem.

Chill out.

Normal language? What is that supposed to mean? I've mentioned something very specific and have given examples of what was said, what is considered speculative according to ASHI code (and Barney Fife is certified ASHI), and how it was unsubstantiated. Thanks for that tip though. What was I thinking? Normal language. Ok. That makes everything fine then.



Explanation: Your bigger issue here is not understanding what a personal attack is. You may not have liked what I said, or how I said it, but not liking what I say doesn't qualify my words as personal attacks. It qualifies you as a delicate flower, and in need of some of your own "chill out" advice. For you to say, "I have never seen a home inspector make a mess. I would have them come back and clean it up. Our inspectors are as professional as a home inspector can get." is clearly an exaggeration. Saying "never" as if it's just so unbelievable that those common occurrences have happened or could happen, and to say "our inspectors are professional" as if they could never make a mess or break something simply because they are "professional" sounds a lot like a utopia. Did it not occur to you that *you* wouldn't be picking the inspector if you were the listing agent and the buyer's agent insisted on one?



Not much for details, are we? Is that 2 closings per year? Omission of that detail makes that statement kind of meaningless.



LOL! Right, yet you *feel* attacked by some random post by some random anonymous guy on some Internet forum for saying you exaggerated and live in a home inspector utopia?



Well that's good. I do too. And when I have to deal with Barney Fife home inspectors it makes it very difficult to do what I can.


As much as you would love to believe the contrary, fact is, there's always at least a little luck when you are running with a claimed record of perfection with several people involved in a real estate transaction. Are you in a luck free utopia as well?




What part of "have my seller replace the entire roof and for my seller to "meet her halfway"" was unclear to you?


Did you say panties?


Bigtoe, why didn't you say that from the very beginning? That's what I was looking for. I'm going to call my seller right now and tell her Bigtoe said this is not an issue. Then I'm going to call Aunt Bea and let her know this is not an issue. Then I'm going to ask her to call the buyer and tell him none of this is an issue. All of our perceived problems are now solved. Maybe I could get the home inspector to make "not an issue" part of his "normal language?"
