During an inspection of a newly rehabbed house the inspector told inappropriate and sickening stories about the misdeeds of contractors he had worked with (NOT in the house he was inspecting, but in other settings). The buyer who had hired him became frightened that such activity had taken place in the house being inspected, and withdrew from the contract. The house got another offer literally the next day--but the buyer who had hired this inspector lost the opportunity to live in a beautiful house in a nice neighborhood. So if you are buying a home, try hard to find an inspector who knows how to act in a professional capacity.
