I can refer the one we used recommended by our agent. Did you get my e-mail ? I can send to your e-mail.
It is the e-mail id in your profile on canadian desi.
Hi,
IMHO do not use the ones suggested by your agent.
There are so many good ones listed on by the owner dot com (remove spaces)
Like all the other deals ask him what all he will do for you and be there
when he is inspecting and ask him to check whatever you have doubts on.
Hope this helps.

You may be wrong. If you cannot trust your real estate salesperson, why did you choose to work with him/her in the first place?
Home Inspectors follow strict code of ethics. In my career, I have worked with many home inspectors http://www.realestate-ontario.com/links/home-inspectors.htm . In fact, I can vouch for many.
A good home inspector always looks after his/ her client's (who are mostly buyers) best interest. Deals often fall as a result of home inspection. If sellers are unwilling to make good the defects/ deficiencies, you can always move on to the next property. There are so many properties out there in today's market, which is being called the "buyers market".
Now more than ever, sellers are willing to cooperate when it comes to satisfying buyer needs; even complying to requests that do not fall under home inspection, such as: replacing floors, appliances, leaving behind some furniture, flat screen TVs etc.
For many years the buyers had been left out when competing for homes they really liked (multiple offers). Beginning the last quarter on 2008, tables have turned in favour of buyers. So why shouldn't the buyers make hay while the sun shines?

thanks guys...I don't think i have solved my purpose of this post yet....I am looking to a good inspector that some one has had a good experience with or can vouch for that this person is reliable....Amit as much as they have to follow codes, but I have heard a lot of horror stories of Inspectors not catching flaws that were discovered later
