Hey BP,

I'm looking for some advice and direction here to help a homeowner with a house for sale. A potential buyer hired a home inspector who decided it was his right to record and share a Facebook live video and an edited YouTube video of the inspection.  The videos were released to the internet without homeowner notification or consent.

In the videos, he speaks out of turn on a number of occasions, from the realm of qualified home inspector and into structural engineering, eye-balled cost estimates for repairs well outside of his realm, and used a number of adjectives not pertinent or professional to the level of service that I'd expect from a "licensed professional"

As you can imagine, there is a good bit of "chatter" among the broker/agent community in the area of the house, as well as commentary on Facebook from the people "equally as qualified for comment."

So my question is, does this homeowner have a leg to stand on in a court of law? This video is  going to blackball this house from retail showings, not to mention, scaring off potential buyers with this home inspectors opinions rather than concrete facts?

As always, your thoughts and feedback are appreciated.

Jay
