the realtor recommended his buddy that had just started a home inspection business. We had no idea how new the inspector was because they bought into a franchise. So it seemed legit/reputable. The inspector hadn't even been doing inspections for a year (and was technically an "associate inspector")... missed MAJOR issues. And now we see all the bad yelp reviews, that have come as more and more people use this scam inspector.

^^ see above reply... the inspector missed major issues, unfortunately.

The appliances broke down within month of us moving in. Sadly they didn't all go at once or we could've saved some $$ by buying a "bundled" appliance package. The roof had questionable algae and we noticed a few spots that concerned us. Realtor said to have his home inspector check it out. Inspector said it was fine and normal for its age, likely would not need replacing for another 10 years or so. THe walkway did seem concerning, we were told by inspector that was "normal" for a house its age and that if we re-directed water from down spouts that the ground below would "even out".. we asked our realtor if this sounded right and he agreed. He also told us to be careful we don't rock the boat and start requesting additonal inspections, or for a $$ credit, due to the fact that we were the winning offer against multiple offers. He said making too many demands would mean they could decide to cancel the deal and go with another offer. We now know this isn't true. Sadly all of this was said verbally and not in writing, otherwise we'd report the realtor to the board... we got screwed so badly.
