Take a look at the following picture. Something is wrong. Do you see it?
No?
Look again...
If you said it looks dirty, you're right!
This is a picture of an AC unit sitting at a house that some buyers were going to buy. The inspector noted that the unit was not functioning and needed to be cleaned and serviced to "normal working order" by a licensed HVAC company.
After we were told that the unit was working, we went back to the house to be sure (always a good idea). When we got there and saw the grass clippings, we knew that nobody had touched the AC unit. And, of course, when we turned the thing on at the thermostate, nothing happened!
I sent the listing agent this very picture and it wasn't very long until an HVAC guy was at the house cleaning and servicing the Air Conditioner.
The lesson leaned here?
Always carry a camera!
Learn to use your smart phone camera (you're going to need it)
Always follow up.
Look for obvious signs - old grass clippings indicate no activity!
Know how to send pictures as attachments 'cause the proof is in the pic sometimes!
