Good morning Michael. Not the case for me, I have never felt like a second class citizen, actually quite the opposite.

You are not second class in my book Michael, I do not know what I would do with out the input of inspectors. 

Can I ask what makes you feel that way?

I think you are Michael Thornton! I have never thought of home inspectors as 2nd class in any way

An interesting question.  I am not aware of any prejudice of non Realtor's but of course per your question I would not realize it.  You will leave me thinking on this one.  Not on my attitude but why you feel so.  Mark

What makes you feel that way? Everyone has a place and lenders, suppliers, inspectors, etc. have so much to contribute and I know I and others enjoy reading the posts.

Michael, I found my favorite home inspector right here on ActiveRain.  He is a true house nerd ( and house whisperer) and if he reads this he will know who I am talking about.

I guess I don't feel like a second class citizen.  And, I'm less related to real estate than you are.

lenders and home inspectors have notice your question. Perhaps agents dominate? I would like to hear some more on this

Michael, I for one do not look at the ancillary services any different than the realtors.  For the most part I don't even look at what people do.  I think it was several months on here before I even realized that you weren't a realtor!

I value our ancillary service providers enormously and think they are incredibly vital to real estate transactions.
