It might be nice to also have small riders made up, or maybe stickers to denote any ancillary testing that might have been done. For example, radon, mold, termite, etc.

It would be really nice to have a trifold brochure explaing what MoveInCertified is all about that we could hand out to real estate agents and pass out to home owners.

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

You've got the sign, now you've got some work to do.

I made up a brochure this morning. Please keep in mind that it is the first draft. I hope that it helps others.

Looks pretty good, Greg. I know it's a first draft, but some of the wording seems a little weak.

"It might alert the seller of any items of
immediate personal concern so that they
can be repaired before a buyers

inspection revels them."

"The reports might encourage buyers to
waive their inspection contingencies."

If you can figure out wording that will make these points stronger from a marketing aspect, you'll really have something. All in all, I like it.

How about?

Alerts the seller of immediate concerns
so they may be corrected before a buyers
inspection would reveal them

The reports encourage buyers to
waive their inspection contingencies
that will speed up the transaction process

"The seller can assist the inspector during
the inspection, something normally not
done during a buyer's inspection."

The seller can offer valuable feedback
during the inspection that is typically
not offered during a buyer's inspection

"The seller can have the inspector correct
any misstatements in the inspection
report before it is generated."

The seller may offer input regarding any
possible errors in the inspection report
before it is made available to others.

"The report can help the seller
realistically price the home if problems
exist."

The report helps the seller realistically
price the home if it needs any additional
attention.

There are other thing I can see that might be worded better, but I don't have time to look them all over right now.. Remember that a buyer can read the seller advantages. It is important to word things in a way that helps make them comfortable about waiving the contingency, while still getting the seller advantages across.

I know most of this comes from the current MIC site copy but that doesn't mean that it could not use a little editing as well. I am not an English major so even my suggested edits might need a little cleaning up as well.

I will be working up a draft for a brochure of my own so once I have a draft I will post it as well.
