Not under any circumstances should a Seller be there. This is the Buyer's time to find out information without interruption. If there are questions, they can be asked and/or explained when the report is received.

I tell my sellers to leave. They can respond once we have an inspection report to review and address.

It would be too awkward if the sellers were there, and could be easily defensive and/ or offended by the findings put forth in front of them.

Debbie Reynolds Just like when showing a property, sellers should stay away. Their need to be helpful will always get in the way.

It is the seller's decision whether to be present. However, I would very strongly discourage it. If there are any questions, the buyer's agent should ask the listing agent for the information.

Traditionally we have them leave... Typically there are too many emotions to effectively deal with someone "picking apart" their house. If there are questions or issues, we can address it all after the official report has been filed.

My short answer Debbie Reynolds is just a flat out NO. That situation is bound to inhibit the Buyer and it's the Buyer who is paying for the inspection.

I always ask that the seller leave, but to be available to answer questions via text message. It's a clean and simple approach that works nicely.

Generally speaking, I think it's best for the seller to not be present during the home inspection. That said, there's no reason why the seller can't be available (via a phone call) for questions or clarifications.

I appreciate all the feedback but the seller says he is staying so the challenge is to keep him out of the way, distracted and mouth closed and not interfering.

The seller should be anywhere BUT the house during the inspection. This is the buyer's time to ask questions of the inspector without fear of insulting the seller or ruining the deal.

It depends. Really.
On the house(or condo).
On the seller.
On the buyer.
On the type of inspection.
Generally, I think most selles are not home but available to answer questions via call/text.

Absolutely no way. I always think the listing agent should be there in their place, to be close enough to hear bt nt so close they are in the way. First hand knowledge can head of frivolous request after an inspection

Debbie Reynolds - seller should be available - over the phone - to get some answers. Let the home inspector do his/her job...

I like having the Seller on site. If there is a question or a problem, let the Home Inspector bring it to their attention right here right now, instead of a day or two later on a report form.

I'm okay if the seller is there, but at a distance -- like outside in the yard enjoying the weather but available "in case of questions" by the inspector or the buyers.

I suppose the operative word is SHOULD. Yes, I think so. But I had an inspection in a condo when I was helping my daughter and her husband in LA where the seller was home. Normally my inspector runs the dishwasher, but here it was being used to store wine...yes, really! Seller said, no you cannot run the DW, it has not run in 3 years. We negotiated the cost of a new DW

We expect the seller to be away during the inspection. I've had sellers stay a couple of times, and it wasn't good. One woman got really argumentative with the inspector!

I would never advise my sellers to be present during the home inspection. Send me the repair request then we will discuss.

I don't like the idea of sellers being at the home inspection. Clarifications can be made after the fact.
