If the tiles are not damaged no. If they are, yes.

Tiles only there to protect the paper, really.

Driving down early again. I have lots more trouble I need to cause while I am down there so I need more time. How about another early meetup for those in the know?

Looking forward to hearing you speak in So Cal in July.
Thanks! Yes, the 21st. Funny you mentioned it as I just confirmed with Eric this morning before you got up.
Before I got up? I am an old construction guy. You know work starts at 7 am.
Just busting 'em. I knew you'd see that!
Love you guys here. Good times.

Mike Casey wrote:This is really a question for an attorney in your state. I know here in CA agents sign occasionally, and they write under the signature "as agent for MM buyer (insert name here)" and it works. RE agents have a fiduciary duty to their clients as they negotiate prices, deals, etc. HI's don't, so we could not do that. We have a contractual duty to our clients to perform as specified in our contract and per local standard of care.
Interesting for us CA guys.

Are these small towns? How large of a service radius are you after?

Nothing of substance on the website and you have to request to see a sample report? Have one you can share?

That said, I've found a newer company, HomeHubZone, to be the most forward looking, both in terms of design (which is more than just looking pretty), and the way they pull MLS data to build an accurate template of each house I inspect. It saves me a lot of taps on my tablet. That said, I prefer sending the report through ISN, and they don't automatically pass that off just yet. They do, however, have their own report delivery method that automatically sends to the client. Finally, they are also integrated with ISN in terms of pulling order data. So, I just open the app and tap on the address to get started.
Just my two cents as a n00b.
Cartoon driven website. Serious player? Don't think so.

We set one up this morning on the road to San Francisco to do an inspection as the Realtor wanted an email. Not tough.
