Question about disgruntled agent

[James E. Braun, CMI]

If the agent told the buyer in anyway to disregard what the home inspector stated in his report, the agent is acting like a stupid home inspector and is liable such as one.

The report is only good for the day and time of the inspection. Some say going beyond the visual inspection and using thermal, moisture meters and other diagnostic tools gives people a false expectation that the house was diagnosed and there won't be any problems in the future. This could be one of those situations and that makes people upset. Maybe some explanation by the Attorney will help the situation.

Will - Try to be a little more professional with agents .. You'll give us all a bad name.

1) What the crap does separated moldings (cosmetic issues not typically addressed by studly / manly home inspectors) have to do with water leaks at the roof ..... You jumped from A to B and I'm lost.

2) Ms Realtor, as you know you are not my customer and I'm really pissed that you would have the friggin audacity to call me and yell when the customer has not done something this childish and rude. The customer did email me telling about separated moldings AND as I informed him, I'm very sorry BUT they were not doing that when I was there 6 months ago. ALSO I pointed out to him and I'll include you in this also .... I'm really good, in fact I'm supposed to be the BEST inspector in Kansas City (or wherever you live Will if you have my type rep) BUT when I take off my shirt there is no big Red "S" on my underwear and I can't see through walls.

NOR do I have a crystal ball NOR can I predict the future AND I'm NOT an insurance company. If it ain't doing it when I'm there, I'm not gonna find it .... Plain and Simple. Therefore my thoughts are: The seller had the best chance of knowing about this AND may have failed to disclose it.

Get The Picture Bambi.

By the way, AS you know its against our state law for a home inspector to discuss the inspection report with anyone but our customer, SO if you call again WITHOUT the customer in a 3-way call I'll be forced to file ethics complaints with the Illinois home inspection Board and Realtors Board for you trying to get me to break the law and our code of ethics. ALSO you wanta scream or yell at somebody again, go home and yell at your husband or kids ... You do it to me again AND you'll wish you were never born.

Love and XXXX

I've got a couple of agents who give me grief too. One in particular was upset when I recommended a drug test to be performed in a home where the meter was bypassed and a secondary, horrible panel was installed next to the main one, there was extreme efflourescence in the garage and the middle of the kitchen floor was stained by an orange substance where a wood stove used to be. I have stopped trying to get work from him. Some Realtors are not good for business.
