My sister in law is selling her house and the inspector found a few issues with grading around the house. Thats ok. But the problem was that he called her up on the phone while she was at a doctors appt and kept on harrassing her about it.

He kept asking "are you sure this house wasnt in foreclosure before you bought it? Are you sure the builder didnt go bankrupt after building it(not sure what that question had anything to do with)? Are you sure there hasnt been water pouring in the basement? Are you sure are you sure?" etc on and on this went for a few minutes.

He was certain that because the grade was sloped towards the house slightly that water just had to be pouring in the basement. The basement is partially finished, drywall, carpet etc now if it had ever gotten wet, the evidence would certainly be on the carpets and drywall but there isnt any there.

Anyways the guy also mentioned that he never does work in their area and it was pretty far for him to travel to get there so Im thinking that he may be a friend of the buyers and thats why he did this. But my question to all of you is, do you ever call up the seller about any issues and harass them or do you just report the issues and let the buyer and seller work out the details? I do realize that if the seller is home at the inspection you may bounce some questions off of them about the house but thats not what I mean. Im talking about calling up the seller and harassing them about any issues. Now this is all hearsay for me but it seems to me that the guy went over the line from what was described to me.
