I'm buying my first home from someone, the seller/home owner.
When I went to the morgage broker he suggested having a home
inspection before making the contract final - and I would be the
one to pay for the inspection. No problem.

You have gotten some good advice. I will make one additional
suggestion. You are going to part with far more money than you have for
anything before. It is likely the third biggest commitment of your life
(wife and kids are #1 & 2). Get a professional on your side. Any realtor
is no the sellers side, they get paid more the more you pay. Get an
attorney or other professional representative that is not benefited by a
higher price to the home.
