Did you know that Lawsuits have increased 62% in the last 5 years in the real estate market?

Did you know that 25% of inspectors that were insured were sued? Did you know that 85% of those that were sued were new inspectors and all of these lawsuits involved the Realtor that selected the inspector.

When selecting inspection companies for your approved inspectors lists for your clients, do you -

• Choose an inspector that you met in reception based on a flyer, business card, appearance etc?


• Pass flyers from the mail room directly on to your client without qualifying them?


• Conduct a background check to make sure he/she had no convictions and won’t place your client, home owner or yourself in danger?


• Check past experience with other clients that used them?


• Check to see how long they have actually been in business?


• Check to ensure that all the right insurances are in place?


• Check to see if they are in the yellow pages – ( if not a new inspector)?


• Check to see if they uses their cell phone for telephone number as their main contact – not a stable company for any client to use.


• Request a list of previous customer referrals?


• Base the decision on the quality of the inspectors collateral materials and not on reputation


• Ask experienced Realtors for advice on which inspectors are reputable and qualified?

The above list is based on expert witness testimony questions that were asked of Realtors when depositioned! Every client deserves the very best service and inspection. Choose your inspection team with confidence.
