To Whom This May Concern: I am a current using Michael Ivie as a home inspector. I HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone out there!! He truly is working for you, not the real estate agents or anyone interested in the sale of any property. We are first time home buyers in an area unknown to us. When I found out we had to find home inspector and fast, I went on line and found Mr. Ivie. Just talking to him on the phone was enough to make me feel like I was in good hands!! He has without a doubt done everything he can to make sure we are in a safe environment and that everything with the house is as it should be before we sign anything! He is friendly and knowledgeable, patient and concerned about your safety. He checks everything and able to talk to you about any concerns you may have. Done Once, Done Right- is his motto and he stands by it!!! Thanks for Reading! Joel and Kimberly Mateling ...read more

A Real Estate Agent's Duty

The seller has accepted your clients' offer and now, with your help, your clients must choose a home inspector.   Should you steer them toward the inspector who writes thesoftestreports?  Should you steer them toward the inspector who pays to be on your office's preferred vendor list?  Should you help them find the cheapest inspector?  The answers to these questions are of courseNo,No, andHell, no. You have a fiduciary duty to your client and, therefore, must recommend the very best inspectors.  If you recommend apatty-cakeinspector, an inspector who indirectly pays for your recommendation, or a cheap inspector, you violate your fiduciary duty to your client. The National Association of REALTORs defines your duties in theirCode of Ethics. Article 1requires you to protect and promote your clients' interests. Article 6requires you to disclose any financial benefit you may receive from recommending related real estate services (this also includes any benefit to your broker). Because most real estate agents get paid only if the real estate transaction successfully takes place, your personal interests and your fiduciary duties already conflict.  Don't make your situation any worse.  The best way to avoid negligent referral claims, to operate ethically, and to fulfill your fiduciary duty is to help your client find an inspector based solely on merit.  And although no real estate agent can guarantee the thoroughness of any particular inspector, there is a strong correlation between an inspector's fees and his/her competence (in other words, you get what you pay for).  Helping your client find a cheap inspector for the purchase of their lifetime is a violation of your fiduciary duty. ...read more
