In all 50 states it is the Seller's right to have a copy of the Home Inspection report. The Seller is held responsible for the information in a Home Inspection report- it is part of his/her legal responsibility called "Full Disclosure." Actually it is the Inspector's duty to give the Seller a copy of his/her report upon completion. Note: The Buyer does not exclusively own all rights to the report- when a home inspection is ordered by either a Seller OR Buyer both parties are legally entitled to said report AND the Inspector is legally obligated to provide copies to both parties REGARDLESS of who pays for the report.
An Inspector risks losing their license by not providing the report to the Seller.

I was not aware that there was federal law that governed this.

I'd be astonished if there was ANY aspect of real estate procedure that was common to all 50 states.

Cite the LAW please, or I call bs. It's certainly not true in VA, btw. I've never shared my buyer's copy of the inspection report with the seller except for pertinent items I wanted to have fixed.

Sorry Scott, absolutely false. If the buyer pays for the inspection, they are the only one entitled to that report.
I did get a good laugh from your post though......

LOL! This is a fake post, right? Not only is it wrong that it's a law in all 50 states, I would be surprised if it were law in ANY state!
We share the report when asked, no reason not to really. I mean sure, I paid for it but how shallow is that? Share it and let them see all the crap they found. All the little things I'm not asking them to fix.
My conversation with their agent usually goes:
Sure, I'll forward you the report. As you'll see there are 23 items on there. We are being quite reasonable only asking for these 5 items which are what we consider major.
The seller is free to tell me to pound tar, fix or negotiate and I'm free to walk if they don't do exactly as I've asked.
If the seller is willing to share part of the expense of the inspection, I would be more willing to share the report. I consider having the report gives the buyer a little more leverage in negotiations. The buyer can share the report if they wish, but is not obligated to do so under law.
I believe the intent of a disclosure law is to protect the buyer from known, unreported issues with a home/property that were not disclosed by the seller.
