House Inspections: North Jersey Realtors did you see this?

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Crest Real Estate

I am aware that many laws vary from state to state when it comes to things like buyer and seller representation, disclosures etc.

My area of expertise is Haskell located in the borough of Wanaque which is in North Jersey. I am a full time Real Estate consultant with Century 21 Crest Real Estate and there are inspection clauses typed in the standard NJAR Contract for Sale form that our office uses for house sales.

When I am asked by a client for a recommendation for an attorney, inspector or mortgage company I always give several names for each category. On the list of inspectors that I provide, you will only find companies that are fully insured and licensed in the state of New Jersey. 

To all of my Active Rainers..please check out what this inspection company has to say about Real Estate agents and thier referring "tactics".

I am appalled! In the first place, they are absolutely in the wrong when they state that all of us represent the seller and more importantly..the success of my 20+ year Real Estate career is largely due to (past) client referrals. My goal is total client satisfaction....buyers and sellers alike!

Please read through the following information that this inspection company uses for advertising and click on"What every home buyer must know"  let me know how you feel about it.

Wow, I don't know where this company is getting their information.  Perhaps the company should do some research about buyer's agents and disclosed dual agents in New Jersey.  I also give my clients at least 3 (usually more) inspection companies to choose from..and some clients I point toward the internet and/or yellow pages instead.  I'm in North Jersey, and this company seems to be in South Jersey, so I hopefully won't have the opportunity to work with them!  Cathy

That article was very insulting to our profession.  I work very hard to maintain our client relationships and would never refer an Inspection Company or anyone else who would not work in the best interest of my clients.

Thank you Tere for finding this article.  I hope more "rainers" post their disgust!
