Clued Inspections

09/23/2022

Unpopular opinion: new builds should be inspected twice (during and after construction).

A study showed 89% of buyers deal with premature repairs or maintenance after moving into their brand-new homes.

What am I inspecting in a new build? Check out this article.

Do you need an inspection on a newly built home? The quick version: yes, and I recommend TWO inspections. I get it - “It’s a brand new house - what could be defective?” You trust the builder to craft a safe home that has already been inspected by the city.

What should you be looking at the first time you check out a home?

1) Are there any holes in the drywall? That could lead to mold growth, critters, or poor insulation.

2) Is there water damage anywhere on ceilings or walls? That could also lead to mold growth and structural issues down the line.

3) Do any windows need work done on them? This could also lead to water getting into cracks and causing mold issues later on down the line.

I've heard a few things on this.
"What goes up, must come down."
"It's sustainable growth, so buckle up because it's here for the long run."

As a homebuyer, ouch. 🤯
As a home seller, hmmm. 🤑

Despite some indicators that the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market may be cooling, a new report projects that home prices will increase an eyebrow-raising 21.1% over the next year.

I love a good riddle:

“If you open me up,
I disappear.
Replacing my parts
is a pain in the rear.”

What am I?

Riddle me this, homeowners!

“I have a can, but it's not for beer.
One of my inlets is hopefully near.
I'm installed during construction, with any luck.
You'll think I'm great, though I really suck.”

What am I?

Where all my Real Estate agents at!?
* Sips coffee in PJs because *

Just so happens my mother-in-law is an agent, so I understand the importance of your reputation.

When agents pass my name around for Home Inspections services, trust in a few things:

1️⃣ I'm TREC licensed & bonded, plus an InterNACHI Certified Property Inspector (CPI).

2️⃣ I use top-rated inspection software called Spectora to ensure my reports are comprehensive, organized, prioritized, and easy to read.

3️⃣ As an InterNACHI CPI, I can offer their Buy Back Guarantee program which means if I miss anything on the inspection covered by InterNACHI's Residential Standards of Practice, InterNACHI® will buy the home. (visit nachi.org/buy-re-pros.htm)

4️⃣. I can also offer InterNACHI's Negligent Referral Protection Program for agents. This means InterNACHI may compensate licensed real estate agents up to $10K if a third party successfully sues the agent for negligent referral of an InterNACHI inspector.

Your success is vital to me, as you can see. We both want happy clients, so let's work together to make it happen!
