All the realtors in this area sing the same song that they have to be present because their code of practice says they have to be present during the inspection so 95% of the time they are under foot.
Some agents interupt me when I'm explaining a defect to my client. They attempt to negate what I'm saying or to comfuse the issue and make it sound less serious then it is. The smart ones go sit in a corner and let me do my job. There have been instances in the past where I have put up with their behavior and thinking about it afterwards I come to the conclusion that I should have told them to butt out.

When it's a sellers market, some, down play the inspection (if there is an inspection at all) and don't want the inspector to find anything wrong for fear of loosing the deal. When it's a buyers market, they try to use the inspection as leverage to have the price reduced so they can close the deal. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.

Very seldome does this happen to an experienced HI.
When this does happen I just step in front of the Agent put my back to the agent. Talk to my client and explain my concern . ( I never use the word problem )
To simple works great .

How did they steal the power? I have many images from a friend in Arizona showing that they cut into the lateral and tapped ahead of the meter, said they paid the "lektrician" $2000.00!
