Publisher's summary

Realtors who have no problem selling are not invited to read this message.

Have you ever had a deal fall through because of a home inspection?

Are you afraid your home inspector might scare away buyers?

Do you want new clients without hunting for leads?

According to the National Association of Realtors, there are over 370,000 realtors in the US who earn over $100,000 per year by consistently closing deals. But this message is not for them.

Neither is this meant for the “average” agent who’s selling 10 homes or more each year.

This message is for you, only if you’re a real estate professional who knows you could be making thousands of dollars more…but don’t have the key ingredient to getting more leads:

A reliable referral network.

According to Buffini & Company, 82 percent of all real estate transactions come from referrals, meaning your network of past clients and personal contacts are much more powerful than any social ads you’re paying for.

So whether you’ve sold hundreds of homes…or still have yet to close your first deal…

The same principle applies:

You’re only as good as your last sale.

Which is why you need to use everything in your toolkit to make sure your next client ends up feeling good about their purchase. After all, they’re your best hope at getting another sale!

And if there’s one tool you should be using, it’s a thorough home inspection.

Because if you let your client move into a house that’s ridden with asbestos or needs a new roof, you may have made thousands of dollars off one commission…but you’ve lost out on what could’ve been millions from future business referrals.

All because you failed to get a proper prepurchase home inspection.

While a home inspection could very well cost you your next contract, it’s only if it isn’t done properly.

However, with the right resources, you can use a home inspection to your advantage and save your client thousands of dollars. Think about how ecstatic your client would be—and what that could do for your reputation as a realtor!

In Home Inspection Survival Guide, you will discover:

• Twenty questions to ask any home inspector before hiring them to conduct an inspection
• How to read a home inspection report, and what you should do about any “problematic findings”
• An 82-point checklist to help you identify any parts of a home that need critical repairs
• How much you can expect a basic home inspection to cost, and why it’s worth paying extra
• Eleven types of inspections available to homeowners, and which ones your seller should consider
• A surefire way to help home sellers avoid taking a hit to their offer price—do this before you list your next property
• Twenty-eight dangerous red flags to look out for during a home inspection
• The key difference between a home inspection and an appraisal (don’t make this mistake)
• Why getting a home inspection could actually add to your commission
• And much more

You don’t need a home inspector’s license to become an expert at home inspections.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
