How Many Professionals Does It Take To Do A Property Inspection?
Homes inspections are normal in the Springfield Missouri real estate market. The inspection is usually completed once the home is under contract. During the inspection, a certified property inspector inspects everything about the home including the foundation, roof, well, septic, plumbing, electrical, etc. The home is being inspected for latent material defects not readily apparent to the buyer or seller.
Recommending the home owner to inspect the home prior to marketing is something I've started doing recently. The cost will certainly outway the possibility of a contract falling thru. Along with peace of mind, the home owner will be reassured the home should have no problem when they do receive a contract. Marketing the home with a home warranty and property inspection becomes a great selling point.
Remember, the inspector is only an inspector! He may see the need to have a more detailed inspection from: A certified roofer..... A certified plumber..... a certified electrician... A certified chimney sweep.... A certified heat and air technician.... A certified termite inspector.... A certified well and septic inspector, etc.

Super Star or Average Joe - The choice is yours!
A group of RE/MAX agents met today for lunch in Springfield at Hickory Hills Country Club. We had the pleasure of listening to Regional Owner, Dennis Curtin's version of the history of RE/MAX and the the vision Dave Liniger had to build a great real estate company.
Knowing that real estate has it's ups and downs, Dennis spoke of his experience of the slowing market and surviving when the market was slow. Today's market is no different than it was years ago. Interest rates were higher then. The interest rate on my first Ozark Missouri home was 15.875%. Today's rate averages a little over 6%.
During my years in real estate, I've worked to be one of the best real estate agents in Springfield Missouri. Without the proper training, I struggled as most new agents do. Today, RE/MAX offers extensive training to any agent that wants to be more than an Average Joe - they want to be Super Stars!
We strive to give our clients all the information available for them to make good business decisions. Our business is focused on our knowledge of the business and our referrals from past clients and friends. We Love Referrals! Have you changed the way you are doing business today?
Dennis Curtin and Dave Liniger's vision of forming a great real estate company has become a reality. They have brought to the real estate industry a remarkable company that has focused on making every agent a Super Star.
