Does this increase your liability

[rsmith24]

Your liability is increased by placing a "move in certified" sign in the front yard. By doing this you are "ASSUMING" by the words on the move in certified website. That the sellers have done something "(CONFIRM) that there are no major systems in need of immediate repair or replacement and no known safety hazards."

The sign reads "Homes pre-Inspected and ready" Homes meaning plural and would indicate all homes participating in this program are ready to move in. When in fact the inspector has no idea if the house is ready or if the sellers have fixed anything you may have found. The sellers are under no obligation to fix anything. Yet your sign reads its "ready" accompanied on the same sign are the words "Move in" certified. SO either this program is a big fat lie and a fraud. Or the inspector is taking on the liability of the house being "ready" to "move in".

You can twist this around any way you like Nick but the fact is your liability has increased by participating in this program.

I already told Nick b4 That I was just doing it for fun and didn't even want the money but would have liked the narratives CD . In a country where people sue for everything from spilling their own hot coffee to breaking their hand using the toilet and win. I would at least think that one could get sued and perhaps loose.

I would think one would get "loose" either way, after court, win or lose.

LOL he hasn't replied.

But its 9 to 4 against him!

[Nick Gromicko]

The only person who can sue you is your client. No one else has "standing."

I'd much rather do a sloppy home inspection for seller, who is helping me perform it, who is not relying on it, who is moving OUT of the home, and who has a buyer who is sending in his/her own inspector to catch anything I've missed and who takes on all the liability for me... than... the buyer, who IS relying on my report, and who is moving IN to the home and who doesn't have any other inspector but me to blame.

It's not even close.

Nick with the TKO!
