Re: Reading Home Inspection Reports
Years ago, I received many referrals from a real estate agent who was out to help her clients - sale of no sale.
In fact, she (with my help) talked most of them out of buying something they really wanted, simply because 'it was a POS', or maybe just needed a lot of work.
Her attitude was 'I'm making a friend', not 'this is my client'. Those 'friends' served her well for many years with their referrals and repeat business, then she retired.
Yes, there are some, very few though.
After she retired, I found a couple of agents who felt the same way ... until they lost the 4th house due to inspections, then it was 'Weeeellll, this one is not sooooo baaaaddd, is it?'
The first agent, she did not care if she showed them 10 homes and I 'killed' all of them - she knew 'the right house for them' was out there ... some place ... and it was just a matter of time before she found it - and she would find it ... eventually.
Did she make a ton of money? No. Did she make a lot of new friends? You bet. Was she happy doing it that way? Absolutely.
