Scott, with the economy facing challenges in all facets of the real estate industry, more and more of these stories will surface. Inspectors now, more than ever, must be careful, detailed, and have good narratives in their reports. People will do anything to get a deal through; just one reason here in Kansas that RE's want us gone, and are no longer suggesting our services. Homes are being sold "as is" anyway, so why get a home inspection? IMO, it is more critical now than it ever has been.
