Certified Move In Ready

Here is a BLOG that I originally wrote for my group "The Inspector's Corner" at Active Rain. Because Lee County, especially portions of Cape Coral, Fl. have the most foreclosures of any area in the United States I felt it was important to re-post several of my inspection blogs. This blog is all about a inspection program I have available in SW Florida called MOVE IN CERTIFIED, I hope it answers and also creates questions for all who read it. Please feel free to comment on this and all of my blog posts.







NACHI, National Association of Certified Home Inspectors is now called the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. InterNachi has a new program called Certified Move In Ready. Real Estate professionals are encouraged to recommend to their sellers to have their properties inspected when it's put on the market. There are numerous advantages to the realtor and the seller. You as the realtor can recommend me a InterNachi certified home inspector instead of being at the mercy of the buyer's inspector. Your sellers can schedule the inspection at their convenience, directly with me, with little effort on your part. Your sellers can assist me during the inspection, something not normally done during a buyer's inspection. Your sellers can have me correct any misstatements in my reports before I generate them. My reports help sellers see their home through the eyes of a critical, third-party, thus making sellers more realistic about the asking price. I will alert you to any immediate safety issues I find before other agents and potential buyers tour the homes I inspect. Repairs made ahead of time might make your listings show better. My reports provide third-party, unbiased opinions to offer to potential buyers. My reports can be used as marketing tools to help sell homes. My reports might relieve prospective buyer's unfounded suspicions, before the walk away. Seller inspections reduce the need for negotiations and 11th- hour re negotiations. Seller inspections relieve you of having to hurriedly procure repair estimates or schedule repairs. My reports might encourage buyers to waive their inspection contingencies. Your deals are less likely to fall apart the way they often do when buyer's inspections unexpectedly reveal problems, last minute. My reports provide full-disclosure protection from future legal claims. A seller inspection reveals problems ahead of time which: Might make the home show better, gives the seller time to make repairs and show the repair estimates or paid invoices removes over-inflated buyer procured estimates from the negotiation table. Jacob Mermin Inspections promotes the Move In Certified Program. Each inspection includes the home Inspection, a mold inspection, a IAQ inspection,and a HVAC inspection. After the inspections are complete a sign is placed in your sellers yard next to your real estate sign stating this home is Certified Move In Ready.
