Hello all. Just a quick FYI about the upstate South Carolina area. And looking for your thoughts?????

 

 Just thought you should know I attended the greenville SC local NACHI meeting tonight and was informed that (XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX) Realty group was going to begin charging inspectors from $300.00 ~ $1000.00 dollars for them to put you on their list of inspectors for referrals.I was just wondering what is this company thinking. I am sure this has to be some kind of conflict of interest.

2 Comments on Paying a realty company for home inspection referrals??????????????

I don't think (at least here in PA) that there would be anything specific that would stop a brokerage from doing that. I think it's one of those things that slips "right between the cracks" of : Is it ethical  or is it in that gray area etc.  It sounds like a "kickback" to me but who knows how local laws etc would interpret something like that.

That's an interesting dilemma. 

That being said,  I think that's a pretty poor idea.  Other brokerages will have a field day with that piece of news.  Keep us updated on what happens with that.
