CThis is illegal under Connecticut law
DThis saves the buyer money and should be encouraged
Explanation
A real estate licensee who also inspects property for their own buyer client has an inherent conflict of interest—they have an incentive to report favorably to close the transaction. While not prohibited, the dual role must be fully disclosed, and the buyer should be advised to consider an independent inspector.
