Should I be present at home inspection? This question often arises in the minds of both sellers and buyers. What are the advantages and disadvantages of my presence during this crucial evaluation of the property? Is it beneficial for me to witness firsthand the inspector’s observations and assessments, or could my presence potentially create an awkward atmosphere that hinders a comprehensive evaluation? Might my personal biases unintentionally influence the inspector’s impartiality, thereby affecting the overall inspection process? On the other hand, could being there allow me to ask pertinent questions and gain deeper insights that might not be conveyed in the written report later? Furthermore, how does the inspector feel about my presence? Would they prefer an unobtrusive review without any immediate scrutiny on their findings? These considerations beg the question: what constitutes the optimal approach to ensure that the home inspection yields the most accurate and beneficial results for all parties involved?
