Inspections and the Realtor

Do we just give you a name of an Home inspector that will automatically pass any home? Certainly not! In today's lawsuit happy society most Realtor's give you names of three or more reputable and trained inspectors. We prefer home inspectors that have some sort of training and certifications.

Here in Michigan you do not have to be licensed to be a home inspector. I myself want my clients to buy a "good" home or at least know what some of the potential money issues might be. I want my clients to know that the furnace is at the end of it's life, or that there is only about 3 years left on the roof. Major money pit issues are always a must know.

Today I lost a deal because of a real bad foundation.

• Was it fixable? Yes
• Would it have been costly? Yes
• Was it beyond my clients ability to fix himself? Yes

Am I upset we have to go out and start over? Not at all. I want you to buy a good house. I do not want to be sued. When I run into you at the supermarket or on the street I want to be able to hear you say that you love the house. I do not want to hear that you wished you never bought the house.
