Agents HATE "deal breaker" inspectors, as they would rather see you
unknowingly buy a money pit rather than lose a commission. They'll
usually recommend someone who will point out a leaky pipe, or a dead
outlet, but not the fact that the roof is 5 years past it's
replacement point, or the furnace is dying.


In MA realtors can not reccomend inspectors (state law.) I would choose a
well known outfit that comes reccomended. (actually, I did. Also since it
was an FHA loan they sent an inspector as well, which I had to pay for.)
