John, the Broadview deal is good too. Many of our members do it.

However,

1. some can't do the Broadview deal because their state prohibits it;
2. some won't do the Broadview deal because they feel it unethical to accept money from a third party; and
3. some will choose ADT because they feel that the ADT offer does pay the InterNACHI member, albeit indirectly, by adding over $1,000.00 worth of value to the InterNACHI member's inspection service including a $200.00 VISA gift card. These members believe that adding $1,000.00 of value to their report is better for their business in the long run than $15 in their pocket instantly.
Ditto.

I'm one of those who would feel better about this. I don't feel right taking money to refer my client. If you disclose this transaction to the client, I'm sure it's not a problem, but I personal don't feel it's right for me.
I would definitely include this info with my inspection.

My PIA states: "My signature above authorizes Brink’s Home Security to call me at the phone number I have provided to discuss a special alarm system offer without obligation."


Why do you feel badly about making money in a capitalist society?

prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

I've heard bad reviews with ADT and feel they would hurt the trust I have with my clients. Vector is a higher rated company.

ADT in my area has a better rep than Broadview. There is no Vector in my area.

What if your client did not want to be contacted by Brinks? Would that line be crossed out in the contract?

Nick, I would like the ADT deal. I could put it in the book I show new Realtors. Keep us informed of the when and how.
