Are You Guilty of These Four Home Inspection Pet Peeves?

Every week, the detail-oriented folks at Green Scene Home Inspections will give CandysDirt.com readers an education in inspection. Want to see what they see? Tune in for “Upon Closer Inspection.”

Anyone who spends their time visiting other people’s homes can relate to this home inspection pet peeve: unsecured animals. (Pet peeve, see what we did there?😄 )

We encounter all sorts of creatures, great and small, and most of the time, it’s no big deal. But in all seriousness, there have been incidents of home inspectors and Realtors being attacked by pets who hadn’t been secured by the homeowner.

So first, a PSA:

If you are having real estate or repair professionals in your home, especially when you are not there, make sure you either remove or lock up your pets for everyone’s safety.

Now, on to some funny animal encounters:

1. Co-Inspector Kitty

This Inspector had an unexpected ride-along coworker at this property. He said the cat went along with him throughout the house. Here he is checking the meter.

2. Peacock Property

Definitely not something you see every day in DFW.

3. Cock-a-Doodle Who?

“Tell your friends.”

4. Horse Humor

This horse does NOT appreciate our Inspector’s tone.
