Don't know if you can afford a Home Inspection...can you afford not to?
Buying a new home may be the biggest investment you'll ever make.
Although the process is very exciting it quickly becomes overwhelming. While the home you have selected may appear to be just
what you're looking for, how can you be sure there aren't potentially serious unknown defects which can make your
investment in your future a costly one. Having your new home professionally inspected by RL Blackburn as
early as possible in the buying process can save you thousands of dollars on items which you may be able to have the seller
or builder correct.
Why
hire RL Blackburn instead of a local internet based FRANCHISE company?
R.L.
Blackburn is also an established Custom Home Builder in NC and is qualified through years
of experience to spot code infractions accidently missed by the county inspectors, bad workmanship, defective or sub-standard
building products and faulty engineered components so widely used in the industry today. Actually being on his own jobsites
daily and knowing the building process from start to finish gives him an overwhelming edge over the quantity,
profit-driven schemes of an internet franchise inspection company. Most of these guys are not home builders and do NOT
know the ins and outs. They are simply put, "home critics", at best.
R.L. adds, "You would be amazed at the number of Home Inspectors licensed by our state
daily who also boast a Contractors license BUT have never even built the first home.They wouldn't know where
to start if given the chance.
They know very little about the construction process or building standards
and are out in the field inspecting your homes. These guys are simply faking it at your expense!
That's what they've been taught by their franchises to do.
As a Home Inspector/Real Estate Consultant,
I'm offering you a true alternative to the franchise companies. For one
this is not my main source of income and two This is a PRIVATE business,
NOT an internet franchise! I can offer my services for less because I
don't have to charge more to pay for the franchises commission. I love the construction field, it's
my livelyhood. I've been in the business long enough to recognize the "BS" most of these inexperienced
inspectors are selling. They are simply NOT giving you the service you think you're getting.
They'll tell you it takes 2-4 hours to inspect a home (check their websites). I've been onsite at virtually every
inspection of every home I've built and sold. I've never seen an inspector take more than 45 minutes, UNLESS...the
client was there watching them!
Do a simple internet search on Google.
You'll find the quickest most profitable,
new start up business is...you guessed it,
a Home Inspecting
FRANCHISE!
It is sadly one of the biggest reasons this area is swamped
with amatuer inspectors that have
absolutely no clue and
they're trying out their
new "get-rich-quick" scheme on Y-O-U.
Listen,
I can't even tell you how many times, I've witnessed some of these new, so-called experts, hired
to inspect a new home by a buyer, not knowing this information, of course. They'll walk in the house with their
chest stuck out, acting like they own the place (I can spot them a mile away LOL), acting
like they know what they're doing. Then write up some of the craziest things I've ever heard in their
report. I'm telling you the truth. I've caught them at it in my own homes!
Help me stop the BULL...
Please don't patronize these jokers. I'm not telling you how to spend your money, thats your business. I'm here
to tell you there is an undeniable difference, you probably didn't know about until now. I call my inspections the
"NO-BULL" Home Inspection because I'm tired of these assembly line inspectors giving the
construction business a bad name and writing reports about something they know nothing about. Most of these people won't
survive the business because of that fact.
I'm not going to shoot you a line of useless UN-qualified
opinions. I'm not in this to waste your time or mine. My job is to tell you exactly what
I find, nothing more nothing less and then it's the buyers responsibility to make the final call."
"I promise you, the buyer, REAL professional and accurate information
you will need to make an informed decision before your purchase."
