prelisting inspection: Home Inspections and NC Standards of Practice - Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High-Point, Chapel Hill, Burlington - 05/30/08 10:07 AM
A recent pre-listing inspection I performed for a homeowner this week reinforced just how little homeowners know about inspections in general and how much we inspectors have to do to educate them.
Before I tell this story, I want to relate what my aunt told me regarding what she wanted in an inspection. Her gripe was along the lines of this:
'I don't want to know about the broken lock or the door that sticks, I can see those myself. I want to know if the furnace is working.'
All very well and good. Just the big issues I can't see for myself. But … (3 comments)

prelisting inspection: Successful FSBO's: Listing Advantage - Seller's Home Inspection/Home Warranty ) - Greensboro NC - 04/30/08 11:04 PM
I am a Home Inspector now, but when I took a real estate course in Greensboro NC, the instructor made his feelings about FSBO's quite clear. His disdain was palpable. Though many sellers are tempted to try to market their homes themselves in order to avoid paying a Realtor's commission, eventually they would be driven by sheer desperation to acknowledge the futility of their mission, and call a Realtor.
The Lonely FSBO
Since then I have watched many a FSBO linger on the market way too long, especially at this time, only to eventually capitulate and call in the calvary.

prelisting inspection: The Unnecessary Tension Between Realtors and Inspectors - 02/10/08 10:33 PM
One only has to be involved a short while in the inspection field to notice there is an unfortunate tension between inspectors and Realtors.
Realtors who have had an experience with an alarmist inspector who 'killed the deal' will cringe at the thought of a repeat performance, On the other hand, inspectors who have felt pressure to under-report by an anxious agent are upset and resentful since they are working ultimately for the buyer (but depend on the agent for referrals) and carry as much liability as the agents, perhaps more.
Who's in trouble if the inspector misses or doesn't report something in … (6 comments)
