Thanks for the post. Are you having about 1 hour of daylight about now?

Thank you for this information. 

It always amazes me how few AGENTS have heard of clue reports, let alone consumers.  I should probably do something like this on my outside blog - thanks for the idea!

Homeowners would be well-advised not to make frivolous claims just to see if their insurance will cover it.

It is a mistake to treat hazard insurance as a glorified maintenance expense reimbursement plan.

Jesse and Kathy, I learned about CLUE from someone in my office. In one sense it's useful, in another sense don't you feel like BIG BROTHER is watching us too closely?

Hi, Bob & Carolin: It's pretty dark.  We start gaining daylight on the 21st, which is always a welcome thing. :)

I agree, Kay:  I've been asking sellers to provide CLUE reports for several years and I still run into resistance from listing agents who haven't ever heard of it. 

Well said, Mike:  People should think of their homeowners insurance as a major medical policy for their homes.  Nickle and dime the insurance company to death and you're going to be in trouble.

Hi, Gary:I don't know that I see it as useful at all, but the insurance companies certainly do.  Big brother is everywhere.  Have you seen the Google Maps Street View?  You can actually 'walk' through Manhattan and look in windows, into backyards, etc. all from your laptop.

I feel like a first grader. Never heard of this. Really good thing to know.

Thank you

Jon: I felt the same way when I first heard about it.  It made perfect sense a database would exist but I just never thought about it. 

Hey, I have a listing with a living room ceiling that looks just like that! It's not leaking yet, but it's probably only a matter of time.

We get our CLUE reports for free these days, which is pretty cool.
