home inspections: A Complete Inspection for Your Client's Investment Protection - 05/21/10 06:54 PM
Pro-Active Inspections
Real Estate Agent listing a home?
Having the home inspected before it’s listed is recommended.
With the current inventory, sellers need an edge.
Potential buyers will conduct an inspection. A Pre-listing Inspection will allow you & the seller to pro-actively identify what an inspector may find.
This will give you and the seller time to correct many items, thereby minimizing an inspector’s findings, which will make the house more appealing.

We all arrived within minutes of each other and chatted for a short time while we were waiting for the home inspector to show up. When the allotted time came and went … (13 comments)

home inspections: Are Home Inspections for Renegotiation or Buyer Protection - 12/09/09 12:09 PM
Via Rick Schwartz (William Raveis Real Estate):
It's fairly ubiquitous today to hire a licensed home inspector when purchasing a home. This is a good thing. For most folks a home purchase represents the largest amount of money to be spent in their lifetime.

home inspections: RADON - DON'T LET IT FRIGHTEN YOU - 09/27/09 03:27 PM
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas formed from the decay of radium. More and more today you will see the test being done for Radon in home inspections. Radon is a health hazard, causing lung cancer. Testing is the only way to know if you are at risk from Radon. The Surgeon General recommends testing all homes below the third floor for Radon. Since Radon is a gas it may come into your home through any openings in your foundation whether it be an older home or a new construction. All homes should be tested or re-tested at some … (4 comments)
