A good realtor would want to work with good inspectors who actually do a great job and be happy to lose a deal if the home fails inspection. If I as a realtor know a building has issues, there's no way I'm trying to get my clients to buy it.
I'd use my experience as a realtor to find the best inspector I can find, who does the most thorough job and use them because they're of value to my clients.

I see why you're hesitant to do this, but again it comes back to you not being able to trust your realtor, more so then a "conflict of interest".
Freakonomics would like a word with you.
