If a place excites you enough that’s you’re truly interested in buying it, you’re probably going to go back for a second look before making an offer. But what do you look for that second time ‘round? “The first viewing is to find out what appeals to you visually, make sure that it suits you as far as room sizes, etc. But then you need to go back and look for possible problems with the home,” advises David Thompson of Coldwell Banker. For example? “Starting at the top of the building … look at the chimney. Is it a brick chimney? If the mortar in place or does it need pointing?” He says there are issues you can easily identify from the outside like “whether the roof is flat or whether it’s got wavy indents in it, whether the eavestroughing is in place.” Thompson notes you can avoid the fee of a home inspection by self-identifying major problems.

Good thing the guy is not in the inspection business......

Or the writing business......

Great find Bob unfortunately this still is the attitude of some agents .
They would just love to not have a home inspector in the house they are selling .

"Thompson notes you can avoid the fee of a home inspection by self-identifying major problems."
I guess he he does all his own car repairs too

His advice may save $400.00 but better advice would be to list with comfree and hire a good HI. This would save $10,000.00 to $15,000.00.

I know a family that bought without an inspection and are now living in a motel because the house has been condemned. It has 100% MC o all surfaces in the basement and is full of mould.
You bet! Save $400.00 and loose your life savings. Good advice from a realtor. Dan's the man.

Hold on now guys! He may be a good candidate for the CAPHI national certification programme. </IMG>

This is pretty funny, the guy quoted is actually David Thompson, and if you go to his website at http://mysite.coldwellbanker.ca/davidthompson on his links page under Home Inspectors the only listing is CAHPI!

Click on the link and you end up on cahpi.com not cahpi.ca.
I'm not going to tell him are you?

Now he may be suggesting that they make sure the items they see are ok to them and if not, find another home and when they are ready to buy and put in a offer they then would have the $400.00 to get a home inspection, right!

Imagine how much one could save in insurance premiums by doing one's own physical exams and by-pass surgery, etc...

Some people just don't get it......

If you gentleman are going to continually mock and insinuate that my association is at fault here in any way, please at least get the acronym correct. It is CAHPI not CAPHI. Vern once again can't get things right either. The Realtor had the correct acronym, but Vern as usual did not. As far as the web address, I think it's best for all that the realtor got it wrong.

This realtor has said some very wrong things, but rather than trying to correct that, you have all chosen to try to somehow connect CAHPI to it. My goodness, just how desparate are you people?

I accept your apology but I doubt that will end your nonsense.

The CAHPI website ends in .ca not .com The site you have dragged out there has nothing to do with CAHPI, but I'm sure you will feel that it's still CAHPI's fault that the realtor made the mistake.

Once again your attempt to ridicule me and CAHPI is based on your failure to get the facts straight.

.
Roy Cooke Happy like all NACHI members are

I invite you to please show me where I made an error? I'm not upset, Roy, I'm just having a lot of trouble trying to follow your reasoning.

You are forever reaching conclusions and stating them as fact when you know full well they are untrue.

This has been a total waste of my time as usual.

Roy, quit making things up so I can just stay away from this place.
