quote:Kathy, real estate agents are not home inspectors and lack the knowledge needed for the home inspection. Our E&O (Errors & Omissions) Policy especifically forbids the agents to do home inspections, therefore, we are not present at the inspection when representing the Buyer. When we represent the Seller and the Seller is not available, we let the home inspector in than leave the premises.

...I would like for the agent to be there with me during my home inspection, if it's an older home, but that doesn't seem to be the norm here if the buyer can be present...
