Bill Kibbel Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Realtor discusses the managing of home inspections. I think 'calmer' might mean 'handler' of the home inspector. http://realtormag.realtor.org/news-and- ... nspections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottpat Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The Realtor Zen Master! Honestly, I think the article gives some insight to why so many real estate deals go South. Many agents do not have control of their clients, nor do they set their clients expectations with the home. When the clients are hit with a list of items that were discovered many are not prepared and quickly become disillusioned if their agent has not prepped them prior.

That's because they are not good at their jobs. I had an agent once tell me that it's not her job to hold hands during the process. She "shows houses and goes to closings".

hoosier inspector Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'm glad he's neutral and tells inspectors to point out the important things like the location of the shut off and electrical panel. I might be too busy allaying fears;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caryseidner Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I had one of those today. On several occasions I had to stop myself from smooshing her face through the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 After reading the article twice I've come to the conclusion that it's quite good. The line "I?ve found that the more experienced and mature inspectors are able to choose just the right tone to convey their findings" is quite accurate. I saw nothing in the article that references controlling the inspector - its gist is helping buyers maintain proper perspective which many inspectors don't seem to be capable of doing.

John Dirks Jr Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I love it when I describe a water intrusion concern including the signs of damage. The crafty agents say, "so we need some caulk, right?" But the article has some valid points. I've sat at chapter meetings and heard some pretty silly things from the mouths of "licensed inspectors". I can imagine agents getting pissed off with hearing BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
