Structural Engineer Recommendation?

I have a crack in my home foundation. I plan to sell my home in the spring and I know any inspector with a pair of eyes will see it. The foundation is poured concrete and is 28 years old. The height of the wall is 8'. I noticed the crack about 3 years ago and it seems to getting worse. The crack is from the top of the wall to the bottom, and the floor also has a crack in it about 7' long. About 6 months ago I noticed water stains at the bottom of the crack.

Anyone use a structural engineer and have a positive experience?

Thanks for your help.

Actually, I had a terrible experience with my engineer when I bought my house, but I had a friend come by and take a look at a couple things. He's a retired carpenter and knows a few things. He said these cracks happen all the time and all I needed was a bit of concrete calk to seal it. Just apply and smush it in with a putty knife and you're good to go.
