Recently I've been seeing these "overly meticulous and pedantic" home inspectors popping up on YouTube, namely this guy and his copycats. They claim to be "exposing corruption in the housing industry" but as others have pointed out, it's all part of the marketing. What do you think?

it's both
obviously he's hyping stuff for clicks but at the same time they have the lowest IQ illegals building everything and they really don't like it when someone documents how shitty their work is

I like black inspector man. He's a lot less of a dick and points out things that builders go above and beyond on. And he's local to me.

My father built a house recently.
If you only new what type of shit the contractors pull you would kill someone.
They all charge the same so you can't gauge their skill based on price.
Once the deed is done you call one of these people and they tell you the concrete foundations for the house are in the wrong place , all of them.
They are mandated by law for a reason, society and government in general is in total denial that has skilled labor shortage.

have you ever worked in this industry?
no shortage of greedy scum builders who cut corners
that's owners,c-suite excecs, and managers
the workers and contractors are the sort of retards that throw cigarette butts in fresh concrete and piss in walls

Part of the problem is that people are desperate for housing and will pay for low quality so there is no incentive to spend more time or money on something that will sell anyway.

I just remembered there's a fat white inspector I've also been seeing pop up once in awhile, who has really awkward catchphrase.Anon makes a low-quality and racist post outside of /b/.That ain't right.

they are much needed in the american housing business it seems. here a house has 5 years warranty, not really a need for house inspectors then since you got 5 years to figure out everything thats wrong with your house and then after 4 years 364 days you send in a mail with everything thats wrong and demand fixed and they got no choice but to do it for you for free. its a discussion to raise it to 10 years. there have been extreme cases where there has been so much wrong with the house they buildt them another one instead, and then they get another 5 year warranty period so they better get it right this time. in usa once you accept the keys all bets are off. i cant understant how anyone buys houses there?

All short form content like tik tok and YouTube shorts and Instagram reels are trash made to be engaging instead of substantial and should be ignored and regarded as trash.

Just like any youtube channel he's hyping his content but new BUILDS really are total dogshit. My in-laws just had a new build done and it had literal months of rework after they inspected it and found framing errors (gaps and missing hardware), tiles with insufficient mortar, and wiring that wasn't up to code.

The reason it's blowing up is because the homes these guy's are inspecting are well over a million dollars and they're being built like shit by crews of illegal spics. No one would give a shit if we didn't live in a clown world where a 1200 sq ft home wasn't one million

If you don't have a trusted and credible home inspector as part of your home-buying toolkit, you should stick to renting.

Brother in law is a fire inspector and does a lot of prebuilt condos. He says once they get enough units sold to start development they do the bare minimum that they need to by law and use the cheapest shit. So it's clickbait like all youtube but just barely. Also no wonder why speculators are backing out of condo development since no one wants to pay 500k to live in a shitty rundown place.

this guy isn't clickbait. had him inspect my new build home. it was all we could afford in a certain area, so there's no need to argue about why i would buy a house from one of these shitty builders. i wouldn't if i had much of a choice. but it doesn't matter, just because its inexpensive or cookie cutter doesn't mean it shouldn't be to standard. i am in the final stages of their fucking around right now and im looking at a huge paycheck from them because of it. so yes, his $450 inspection was worth it like 200x over. get your house inspected and have it done by someone who actually gives a fuck

Honestly I'm glad I saw this and would want to hire them or a better inspector than I had when I bought my house

I did construction litigation for a year or so in law school.Man... the shit you see. It's so common for some uninsured yokel to start a job within his means and the owner comes along and says hey what about this? Then our ambitious friend will say sure! Even though he has no experience or concept of how to complete the task. It all goes down hill from there...

As a non-construction guy I always assumed a "New House" would have little to no flaws, so this dudes work has been eye opening to me, when he finds for example,
>uneven floors/tiles using a level
>uneven walls using a level
>gas leaks
>unsecured roof beams/studs
>missing roof tiles
and on very expensive homes
the very few times I thought he was nit-picky was when he pointed out a somewhat big scratch on a ~1'x1' high window & the recent (arguable) "light-switch behind the door" thing but even this is his job, overall, I like this guy.

House and land purchases are typically the biggest expense for average families
More than cars, higher education, tools, boats or any kind of silly shit people throw money at, so if you don't want to throw money into your biggest investment its best to get a 2nd opinion. Because if it ain't in writing at the time of sale, you bought it, you own that cunt and now you have to fix the fucking thing with your money

DR horton aint lookin too good on several of the inspector videos.I haven't been blown away by the quality in person either. Hopefully they're cheap!

Love this guy.Fuck those cheap ass bullshit niggerish builders, they would get away with making your house out of toilet paper if they could.I know suburbanism itself promotes low standards and ugliness, but the least we could do is spend the time to follow safety standards, at LEAST.

My dads a home inspector and im an electrician.Hes good at what he does, doesn't try and freak out owners by telling them their house will burn down because of one two prong outlet. But he has annoyed realtors by pointing out actual problems with a house that they wanted to ignore because they care more about selling a house then selling a good house.
Not all home inspectors are the same, some dont know much and dont inspect thoroughly and some are too anal and make a hundred page report noting every nick in the floor and squeaky drawer.
Dont stereotype anyone

My realtor wanted to bring in an inspector she knew. Yeah, wasn't about to let that happen. I just googled home inspectors near me and picked one with good reviews. The realtor made sure to stick her nose in everything the inspector had to say about the house. I should of asked to speak to the inspector alone. Some fuckin' racket, these fucking realtors.

Cy seems like an unbearable prick and I refuse to watch his videos, but if I was. Buying a house I’d like someone like him to inspect it.
