Why not let the buyer do all the home inspections for themselves?

I always advise my sellers that it is wise to pay for a pest inspection when they list their home, because then you know prior to getting into contract what issues - if any - you may have that would affect negotiation.  It makes for a smoother sale and fewer surprises.   It is not manditory, and some sellers decline, but it is a good idea and allows you to find and repair items you might not otherwise be aware of.  That report becomes part of your seller disclosures and if you decide not to fix problems that you find, you can prepare for a buyer credit or attempt an "as is" sale.
