Even the most experienced homeowner lacks the knowledge and expertise of a Professional Real Estate Inspector who has inspected hundreds homes.  An inspector is familiar with the many elements of home construction, their proper installation, and maintenance.  He or she understands how the home's systems and components are intended to function together, as well as how and why they fail.  Above all, most buyers find it very difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they really want, and this may affect their judgment.  For the most accurate information, it is best to obtain an impartial third-party opinion from a trained expert.
