Caffeine, closings & chaos: Behind the clipboard (or iPhone): Home inspections with Kevin Middleton - Part 2


In this episode, we get real with Kevin Middleton from Shingle to Slab Home Inspections about the unspoken truths of home inspections. Kevin shares what he wishes every Realtor understood about his job, the most common issues he’s finding in local homes right now, and whether some agents really do avoid thorough inspections to “save the deal.” We also tackle the tough questions, like whether inspectors ever feel pressured to downplay findings, if agents steer buyers toward “easy” inspectors, and whether Realtors being present at inspections is actually helpful or just in the way. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the report, this candid conversation is one you don’t want to miss.
