Interesting concept

[Michael R. Boyett]

Here's a Texas inspector that offers "The Home Check Book".

Brokers and Agents

Can anything be done to minimize failed escrows? YES!!!!!

Get a couple of copies of the Home Check book for your clients to use in their search for that perfect home. The Number one deal killer of all time is the Lack of pre-sale inspections.

The Home Check book eliminates/reduces surprises that could lead to re-negotiations and it also helps screen disqualified buyers.

Gives you and your agents a tool to assess not only the house when it comes to fair market pricing but also used as a tool to grade Professional Inspectors you might be depending on and recommending to your clients.

It would be interesting to see one. Curious as to well it interprets the SoP. Not sure it will work. Buyers like to look at granite coutnertops, tall ceilings and bathrooms.

Well, for $44 you can get one Seems counter-productive that an inspector would advise Realtors to get one for each of their clients so the client can perform his own inspection. I can't imagine many Realtors or Buyers would want to do that.

Looks like another stupid gimmick. However, I do like the liability limiting idea of "buy the book, give me money for it, you inspect the house. After you live in it and find out it's a POS - it's on you!" Like y'all, I doubt if there are many takers.
