Some people may ask, \u201cwhat\u2019s wrong with the real estate agent recommending a New Jersey home inspector to you a prospective buyer?\u201d The answer is: A selling real estate agent works for their client. A home inspector works for the person who hires him\/her (the prospective homebuyer.) For many agents, the temptation to recommend a less-thorough inspector is too great to resist. There have been many cases of unhappy buyers when agents refer home inspectors. There is a potential conflict of interest when a real estate agent recommends a particular home inspector or provides a list of preferred home inspectors.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some Home Inspectors, Look Smart Home Inspections, LLC is not beholden to anyone but YOU. Not to realtors. Not to builders. Not to banks. We are one of the very few independent home inspectors in New Jersey. Our only allegiance is to you \u2013 and to our many other valued clients who turn to us for the straight-forward, unbiased truth to tell it like it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.looksmarthomeinspections.com\/NJHomeInspection.html\">http:\/\/www.looksmarthomeinspections.com\/NJHomeInspection.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->NJ home inspectors, New Jersey Home Inspections, NJ, New Jersey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you purchase your next home chose your home inspector wisely. &nbsp; Hiring a professional NJ home inspector before purchasing a home is a smart&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,1],"tags":[5,6],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-home-inspection","category-inspectors","tag-home-inspector","tag-nj"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
