The few times I and my family closed on homes, the mortgage lender usually hires the home inspectors. In one case regarding an internet lender the realtor hired the home inspector. Sounds like the home inspectors would be biased toward the realtor for a smooth sale.

Having said that, shouldn't the buyer have a say on who will do the home inspection?
