Home inspectors do the home buying public a great service, they are kind of like referees in a football game or umpires at a baseball game, however at times they can be a little too nit-picky. It's true that they are usually working for the buyer in a real estate transaction and their fiduciary duty is too alert the buyer of serious problems with a property, it's also important to point out some not so serious problems as well, it is never their duty to recommend whether the buyer go through with a purchase, they should just present the facts and offer solutions on how to address these problems.
Like sporting officials, they do their best work when they are "invisible" to the principles involved, a good home inspector will point out problems without alarming the interested parties, I have witnessed good home inspectors scare their clients unnecessarily over problems that were very easily fixed or negotiated, the great home inspectors are the ones that can prioritize the problems and help walk their clients through the reality of their findings.
As a Realtor I admire what I consider a "great" home inspectors services, this usually comes along with lots of experience and a true knowledge of their craft.
