Home buyers often ask the question “Can I have the seller order and pay for my home inspections?”

This is not necessarily the best way to go, however it is possible to be reimbursed for this expense. It can be a conflict of interest for the other party to be responsible for securing your inspections – you want to control this aspect of the transaction yourself. A buyer however, is allowed to negotiate that the seller contributes funds at closing to reimburse the buyer for legitimate expenses occurred during the contract process, such as inspections.Keep in my mind, 90% of the negotiations happen before you know what you need, so there for having an experienced, knowledgeable real estate professional on your team is vital!
