azusa home inspections: Rude and Uninformed Agent "Educating" a Home Inspector - 04/25/08 05:27 PM
The other day I was at a home inspection and arrived early.  I knocked on the door and asked the seller if I could start early.  He was very nice and said yes.  I always start on the roof, and that day was no different.  It was a concrete tile roof … (45 comments)
