My chances of winning the PowerBall are better than doing a pre-listing inspection.....

OK, here's a thought-
drop the "inspection", call it an evaluation, do a 4-point, write up the items that would be your front page / summary stuff.
(Look at what the SELLER certifies, by MIC definition.)
Make sure the word inspection is not in the report; mention that this is not to be considered a Complete Home Inspection.

Results?
Lower cost, more attractive to client.
Fewer gigs on report, less overwhelming to client.

This should open up a lively discussion, as some don't like MIC, 4-Point, non-SOP insps, etc, but it's worth the discussion . . .

BTW, get your signs and banners fron

Hi Brian,

Every week, and loose, but I have never done a pre-listing inspection either.....so I'm losing at both ends of the stick...............

The sign would be the last thing on my mind...........

Want me to pick you up a couple PowerBall Tickets?.......you might win before you make a fortune doing pre-listing inspections.........

Yeah Russ...like write up anything over a grand in repair cost for any single item, the buyers can bicker-dicker over that one.

Actually, Dale, I don't go into $ sorting-
I sort by:

Areas Critical to Safety & Function (1st Summary area);
Areas of Concern relating to S&F (2nd);
Mtc items.

So, I'm Looking at #s 1 & 2 . . .
