Jake, you're on the right track. I'm still looking for a straight, no BS realtor.

Your customers are smart for bringing in their builder friend, make sure you suggest that they continue to solicit his advice. Many home inspectors have little construction experience and are, quite frankly, a joke. I found a number of issues that our home inspector missed, I forced him to go back and write them up. We wanted leverage in our negotiations, which of course needed substantiated by this "professional" inspection.
