Has anyone used Recallchek?

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

Why not just put this in your agreement:

" WE do not attempt to identify recalled systems or components."

[James A. Malvesto]

Yes I offer it with every inspection. My agents think its great and my clients do also. It is a great selling tool,and has helped three of my clients allready. I get them involved with the inspection and have them wright down the info if they dont mind. While I am doing the inspection I take pictures of all the appliances model and serial numbers anyway.

Their site seem to be a little short on the business details. Like how much it costs, are there any package deals or is it a per use charge?

[Russell J. Hensel]

Now lets get to the idea that bugs me about the program. You have to sign an agreement that if you are a part of this that you cannot compete with any other services Nathan offers.

I never sign no compete agreements with third parties. I have no idea where life is going to take me and I think its crazy they make you do this. I thought it was a great idea, and then the 'agreement' was introduced. That ruined it for me.

Usually for a non-compete clause to be enforceable there must be consideration given.

Its not that it is enforceable or not, its the point of being asked to sign it. Why ask or sign something that is not enforceable?

I would think you would spend an extra 30 min per job to get all the model #s ect. enter them into their system get the report back and merge it into your own report.

Ok so dug a little deeper, looked under terms of use, said "section coming soon" Looked under over view, nope. Clicked sign up scrolled down and there in the "terms and conditions" $10 per report or $8 per report if done on all inspections

I pay $7 per recall check. I find one possible recall in every 10 houses I submit. The report is e-mailed directly to the client. It sends them a follow up every month with your info in it and a newsletter that is customizable. Also if they buy a used fridge lets say you can add it into the report later. If you have agents that want to be proactive you can set them up with a log in and every report you do for their clients adds them to the newsletter. It's a pretty good deal over all and Nathan is pretty good at answering questions if you have any.

I don't take any serial number, nor do I inspect any appliances which are not permanently installed. Life is good, business is even better....

I do have a Link in my reports to the CPSC website if the buyer wants to look him-her-self.
