Default Re: Free 90 Day Roof Performance Warranty For MoistureFree Inspectors

It would end suspicion

It would add credibility

It would increase enrollment

It would make the program more of a sucess

On the other hand , if not done shows doubts of the company as to whether or not the program will get off the ground.

Everything needs a commitment to work.

I do not know if anyone will see this as
the discussion seems to be over but I
was just told a question was posed to
me by Joe Farsetta.

The question was how many claims
for defective roofs occurr within 90
days of the inspection - answer -
very few. Most occur when the season
changes from dry to wet and that depends
may vary by location.

The 90 day warranty is a marketing tool.

The idea of declining the warranty is to
give us more ammunition in defending a
roof claim. (Please remember 90% of claims
made against an inspector have no merit
but we still need all the ammunition we can
get)

It allows the question to be asked "Were
you offered a Roof Warranty to protect
yourself against an unexpected roof leak
such as you are experiencing"?

You can see where defense counsel is going
with this.

Everyone have a good day - and if anyone would
ever like me to respond to a question send me
a email with a link to the question and I will be happy
to do so.

Your absolutely correct... We've been presenting the program along with some of our MoistureFree Certified Inspectors to Realtors and they love the fact that the program provides them a marketing tool as well. They can now differentiate their services by offering the FREE 90 Day Warranty to their clients buy directing the business to a MoistureFree Inspector.

We recently did a presentation and all the Realtors in the room had a listing or two and wanted to have the warranty on each of their listings. Immediately the MoistureFree Inspector gained clients he did not have before.

And to your other point, the Realtors recognize the E&O protection value which they get with the warranty at no cost to them.

So they can differentiate their services,provide more value to their clients and get some added protection at no cost.. THEY LOVE It!!

I've heard from a few inspectors that have signed on with moisturefree, they have no complaints and are making extra income. In this down market I think I'll give it a shot, your client has no obligation- cant hurt. Ron C. Homelife Home Inspections,LLC.

I have just recently enrolled on this program to begin offering free 90 day MoistureFree Warranties. I personally think this is an excellent program for any Home Inspector wanting to both grow his business, and also to gain a better understanding of roofs. The training DVDs material and book (Roofing With Asphalt Shingles) is an excellent resource, and very well documented to help obtain a better insight into how shingles are installed on a roof top. No Home Inspector should be without this excellent training material, which is provided by MoistureFree Warranty. I own a multi Home Inspector Company in North Carolina, and my Clients are very excited about this product offering. Bill Taylor from MoistureFree Warranty has been extremely supportive in helping my Company to have one more leading-edge product offering, that will enable us to keep ahead of the pack, which is very important in this volatile market that we compete in. I highly recommend this to any Home Inspector organization wishing to attract new leads and referrals.

I've been promoting this program with my realtor clients and they've since been using my services. In fact the Free 90 day warranty has helped me convince them of using my limited pre-listing inspection (i.e.structural,HVAC,roof) in order to list the house with the 90 day warranty.

I too signed on, took the training and the test and was certified, at the request of several of my realtor clients. The training is good, I view the $195 fee as a cost for training NOT a membership fee. It was money well spent and I have already received enough referrals for inspections to pay me back for the cost.

They were from agents that I spoke with in a group setting that had never used me before. In other words, New business.

We had inspectors who unfortunately missed the first on line presentation so MoistureFree is conducting another 1 hr webinar on Thursday June 5th at 7PM for inspectors who want to learn more about the MoistureFree Certified Roof/Home Inspector program. Many inspectors have joined and benefited so hear why.

To effectively present and address everyones questions, participation is being kept to a minimum. So if your interested, please send an email to bill@moisturefree.com and I'll send you a personal invitation on line with your entry pass code.

Your learn;
-Why some inspectors are busy and others are not
-What you should be doing in a down market
-How the program works
-The benefits you'll receive
-The protection it provides
-Why realtors & homeowners want to use a MoistureFree Inspector
-Q&A

I look forward hearing from you.

Watch a short video; http://www.moisturefreeinspections.c...roductory.html
give it time to download..

ACT NOW before it's to late.

They didn't miss it, they are simply not interested.
