Realtor referrals for inspectors

At SENWI, we insist that any inspector that provides services for us be independent from Realtors and usually maintain a membership in the Independent Home Inspectors of North America and must take the “No Conflict of Interest Pledge”.

It is critical that the inspector provides an unbiased evaluation free from any influence. Even a good/professional relationship between a Realtor and Home Inspector can influence the service that a client receives as the relationship between the Realtor and Inspector can become stronger than the relationship between the Inspector and Client. We believe this type of relationship is not in the best interests of the consumer.

Our inspectors do not solicit Realtors for referrals, do not direct any form of advertising to Realtors, and do not provide or receive any form of compensation to or from Realtors,

When you hire a SENWI inspector you are guaranteed an inspector free from all Realtor or other Third Party influences, an inspector who is working solely for you and in your best interests.

I want to know what you the public thinks. Should Realtors be banned from making and specific referrals? Do you agree that this represents a implied or real conflict of information. Let me know what you all think.
