The SPIS is a catch 22, If you don't fill one out your neglagent and now if you do get one filled out your liable, The items on an SPIS are items
agents need to discuss and disclose
in every
real estate deal, so without the form as a guideline we will always have
areas that get overlooked or at least
areas that we will be accused of not doing enough
research, an SPIS on it's own is not enough if the Seller is hidding something, but the oppourtunity to do a home inspection was included and revealed a problem, getting rid of the SPIS will not change the Seller hidding problems and then making their
agent the escape goat, as always good
agents will need to «protect thy @ss» RECO did nothing to acknowledge the condition for the home inspection should have been enough to allow the Buyers to verify the SPIS, this story has facts not being told otherwise the
agent would not have pleaded guilty to these claims.
The appraiser
researches market data, public records, and talks with buyers, sellers, and
real estate agents active
in the market
area.
«Before you invest
in an
area you should
research as much as possible to determine the factors that could affect your resale ability
in the future,» says Kristie Zimmerman,
real estate agent, McEnearney Associates.
