This booklet is unflinching in its depiction of unscrupulous real estate agents being out to get you. The author gives useful information about what tricks you should look out for during the inspection process and in how agent-approved inspectors may not be looking out for you as much as they could be. Self-serving information, no doubt, given the author is an independent inspector, but it is good to hear the story from all sides.

After reading this booklet I knew what kind of inspections I needed to have done. I understood what the inspector would and would not do, and what the inspector could reasonably tell me and what they could not.

The booklet struck me as overly paranoid with regard to the lack of integrity of real estate agents. But this booklet (yes booklet, it is stapled like a magazine, not bound) serves as a useful counterpoint to the home buying guides written by real estate agents, which usually paint a much rosier home-buying picture.
