Ask her to put in writing that you don't need an inspection. Save that for when you need to court later.
or fire her.
ON my web site I have a dozen or so photos of stuff I have found in new construction. They are not the great looking cabinets either.
The best way to get an inspection is talk to friends that have recently had one.
If you know any Realtors, ask them who they would use if THEY were buying a house. Ask them for the ones that strike fear in listing agents hearts.

You can also go to Home Inspector at American Society of Home Inspectors: American Society Of Home Inspectors, ASHI, ASHI Home Inspection, ASHI Inspector and do a search. That is the web site for The American Society of Home Inspectors, a professional organization (since 1976).

Send me a private message telling me where you are located and I may know an inspector in your area. I have been a member of ASHI for 15 years and served on several national committees, so I know a lot of inspectors across the country. I may be able to help you find one.

Get an inspection, it will be worth every penny you spend.
Sorry about the link. I spelled it out, then it went crazy. just click on it.

Any good builder will welcome an inspection. If you find things wrong his subcontractors are there to fix it at their expense and it will be less hassles he'll have at a later date. Note I said "any good builder". Even if your inspector founds absolutely 100% no problems, that's worth the money to know.

I've seen many a home sell that if they had done an inspection when it was built would save them thousands at the current inspection.

Any REA that says you don't need one needs a good bop on the head.
