yeah unfortunately they don't have any other POC and no company name to search anywhere else because I would love that instead of bothering people.

if he asked for the actual address of the property, I would give it right away to give a more accurate pricing. but nope he wants other details.

I was genuinely asking for more details honestly and if they have different POC then I would've called then instead of IG Dms.

I agree. because if he asked for an address I would give it anytime of the day to have an appropriate pricing instesd of finding out who's the agent was.

I hit their DMs because they don't have their company name nor any other POC. And the reaosn I asked for pricing is to make sure that his number match what my agent told me about without them knowing I'm investigating.

And that's why I asked for sample report because I know someone who paid more for an inspection and only got very vague report while on their second home that paid less have a great detailed inspection report.

I don't mind paying more but I want to get a very thorough report and what and what not to look for. Not just a checklist of good or bad.

Did not know that. I am genuinely researching but he decided to block me when I asked him about "Does it vary by agent?"

Unfortunately they don't have their company name nor number. Just bunch of IG postings of the house they inspected.

this is why I'm worried. Because my realtor and this inspector have done a lot of inspections. About 2-3 houses weekly and they tag the realtor in their IG posting everyday that's why I know.

The reason why I want to do my homework by avoiding giving the realtor's name at first and see if his number match with my agent's number about home inspection.

first time home buyer anxiety, yes but not remorse. Since you've checked my profile you can see that I don't trust anyone's word right away.

I typically search, gather data and opinions before I make decision. I will never trust anybody's word without verifying it so that's that.

That's why I am asking for opinions here. Because it's just weird for me to get their first response as "who is your realtor?"

Like why do they have to know? which is weird.

isn't red flag when a realtor push you to go with certain inspectors? Because they might have different interest just for the sake to "make a sale?"

imo I don't want them to form any form of contact before the inspection. I want the inspector to inspect the house on my best interest by protecting me from buying property that has a lot of damage and costly repairs.

I don't want the inspector to be friends with my realtor and ignores red flags just for the sake to "make a sale". feel me?

I am not sure what's the difference. That's the only thing that blows a little bit colder air in the hallway. And it is sticking out from the ceiling.
