Re: Pre-listing inspection liabilities?
My concern is that my report is for one individual (or family) and not for the general public. If I report for the seller, and he gives his report to the buyer, they buyer has recieved the benefits of my inspection without paying for it. This has happened to me, and the buyer has asked me about the inspection. I don't answer questions about my reports to anyone other than the actual customer. In one case, the buyer (not the original customer) asked for a re-inspection. They balked when I told them that they could not have a re-inspection, but they could have a full inspection. I cannot re-inspect for someone who was not my original customer.
It's a slippery slope. I make good money on pre-sale inspections, but you have to be careful about who you answer questions for.
