As a real estate agent I have to disagree with the second line here. I always recommend my buyer's with three different inspectors. It is up to them to decide who to use. Also if I am working as a buyer's agent I am working for the buyer and if the deal sours I am still working with the buyer and we would continue to look for a house. If I am the seller agent and I know there is something wrong I have to disclose it. If the deal sours due to something in an inspection report it will be known to the next buyer. Also it is up to the buyer to whether or not they want to share the inspection report with the seller. Not all real estate agents are bad.....
