MIC and Mountain Warranty ?

[Curtis M. Vilt]

Do any of you doing MIC use the Mountain Warranty and How? It is to your customer not the buyer correct? Do you offer to do a reinspect for the buyer so the seller can use that as marketing to the buyers? Any input would be great

Tread carefully when offering the Mountain product in Florida. Last year the state shut down all of the companies offering short term warranties in Florida. After that the Mountain group reworded their product and changed the language so that they could offer the product under the letter of the law in Florida. I would suspect that the title of this thread would put you in hot water with the state if a consumer ever complained.

My question to this is...."Can you still use the 100 day commitment of "Mountain Group as a marketing tool?" since it has rewritten the agreement to conform to florida laws

As I understand it the short answer is Yes just as long as you don't refer to it as a warranty.

Unlike everyone else who got kicked out of Florida, Mountain doesn't sell to the consumer or reimburse the consumer. We only work with our own InterNACHI members, B 2 B. Mountain is the only legal operation in Florida.

In my brochure I say ask about my Inspection Guarantee

Is AHW not legal in FL?

[Nick Gromicko]

Nope. It isn't IMHO.

Uh.....

I just found a site of a NACHI member offering a free "100 day warranty" with his $199 home inspection that includes a free wind mit and 4 point. His $199 only covers homes up to 3500 sq ft, though. After that, it's an additional nickel per square foot. LOL

He says that sellers who pay him for this under the MIC program will be allowed to review and "correct" his report before he publishes it.

I'm not kidding.

Let me guess... he's in FL and is licensed.

Licensing solve nothing.

And a Certified Member of INachi, and offering a free "100 day Mountain warranty " and offering MIC.

[Joseph Burkeson, CMI]

Not to worry, the state is broke and here will be no enforcement, the only thing appropriated was the salary for the clerk who collects licensing fees.
