Ok, I've asked this question many times in my market and now I'm tossing this survey out to everyone in this community.

What is or would be the perfect home inspector?

There isn't an incorrect answer. This isn't going to be difficult, but when were done we'll create a list of the good, the bad, and the ugly. You might be surprised what some inspectors are doing and begin to wonder why your inspector isn't doing or providing you with the same level of service/product.

This will be a learning experience for everyone. Remember, we all survive from referrals and please don't underestimate what a good or bad inspector/inspection can do to your future referrals.

Here's the ground rules - list three or more good things your inspector does and list three or more bad things you dislike about inspectors. I'll even start everyone off - here's the question again - What is or would be the perfect home inspector?

Good:

1. Computerized Inspection Report - Printed on-site
2. Communicates well with clients
3. Arrives early to inspection

Bad:

1. Poor report writing skills
2. Scares clients
3. Arrives late to inspection

Now, if you are compelled to say home inspectors are "deal killers", that's Ok, but as my good friend Russ Colliau, from Roseville, CA says - we are "Transaction Assassins - doesn't that sound much better?" Ok, you can use that one!

Here's to your best year ever, may everything you touch turn SOLD,

Hi Everyone!

Ann here from Buffalo NY, land the the perpetual winter! Despite our freezing temps, our market has started to open up. Like clockwork, every year, we see our homebound buyers come out around SuperBowl.

Well, it's happened again! I guess they've gotten their first charge card statements, paid them and are looking forward to their IRS refunds.

It seems no matter what our market is like, like the return of the geese in Spring, our buyers return the first week in February.

Wishing you all a great SPRING MARKET, know that should you have any referrals for the Buffalo area or Niagara Frontier, we here at keller Williams are ready to handle your business! Hope to hear from you soon! Ann Edwards (716)864-0777

Hope you all had great weekends, Our market in Western New York seems to have opened up. We had showings galore, despite the weather and the SUPERBOWL!

What we are seeing are homes selling but complications arising after. Not your usual home inspection problems, but a new twist. I sold a home last week that had been on the market for just a few days. The sellers were thrilled. The buyer was ecstatic, He went into the work for his midnight shift and told his boss proudly about his BIG news. He had just put in an offer on a home and home inspection went well!

His agent called me first thing in the morning to say the check was in the mail... but she called back an hour and a half later to say no deal.

Her excited buyer was told to HOLD OFF. "His boss then said... Don't buy anything right now, you're being laid off!

Tough news for the buyer and the sellers.
