I believe the passing of SB 627 Is equivalent to erasing all the hard work and dedication that has gone into achieving licensure for home inspectors. Careful consideration has already been taken in drafting the existing regulations for home inspectors to help protect the home buying public from irresponsible actors. It is understood that neglegent behavior on the part of the home inspector has a vehicle for disciplinary action through the procdesses established by DPOR. Holding a home inspector accountable for issues that arrise after the inspection or for items that may have been purposely hidden by an unscrupulous home seller, be it a homeowner or house flipping contractor is unreasonable. I inspect every home as if I were inspecting it for one of my children. Always having the client's best interest at heart. I am definitely opposed to Virginia SB 627.
