No not Home Inspector Pro.
Home Information Packets.

It seems they are required in UK and one wonders with so much of our problems blamed on predatory lending ,whether or not the USA may have something like this in place next year.

If anything Bob, I see the lenders and insurers mandating property inspections, it is in their best interest to know more about what they are lending on or insuring.

Having said that, I can see pre-listing inspections grabbing quite a bit of traction given the current very high levels of inventory in many areas.
