Help Your Buyers Navigate a Bad Inspection Report And What We Can Do!
Brand and Social Management

Today’s buyers are scrolling through Zillow and Trulia to find homes in their region, and with the exception of referrals, potential homebuyers will likely also find a realtor online. So, if you’re silent on social media or have a subpar website, then you’re missing a critical piece of marketing. Platforms like Canva and WordPress can help you create a professional online presence, while Hootsuite or Trello can become your go-to for social media management.

CRM for Real Estate
Customer relationship management (CRM) software is a powerful tool, but with an oversaturated market of CRM tools, it can be difficult to find the right software for your real estate needs, like Wise Agent and Chime. Agents need a software program that swiftly organizes their clients and potential leads while accurately tracking timelines, important dates, and various client attributes in one location. Maintaining a relationship with your clients after the sale is vital to landing those powerful referrals, and as your database of clients and leads grow, you need to access those lists easily.

It’s a special moment for homebuyers when they find a house that’s “the one.” Real estate agents often know when their clients are falling in love with many of the features of a home for sale.

But what happens when the inspection report comes in and it’s not great?
Whether it’s large structural damage or the looming threat of repairs homebuyers weren’t expecting, it can be crushing to receive bad news on an inspection report. Some homebuyers may want to back out of the deal, while others are unsure of how they can salvage a place they love. As a real estate agent, it’s your job to help talk your clients off the ledge and find a solution that’s going to work best for them. We can help you with that daunting task. As inspectors, we have the unique opportunity to offer your clients an unbiased opinion. We have no stake in the sale, nor are we trying to sell your clients something. We simply want to offer context and perspective about their dream home. Our job is to look for every little thing that could possibly be wrong in the home, note its severity, and offer solutions to these problems. As such, we can offer context to our findings and make recommendations for your clients. Encourage homebuyers to ask many questions and to ask for clarity in our findings. We can offer a unique position as experts in many facets of home construction. Homebuyers should utilize our wealth of knowledge to guide them to the best decision for their needs. We’re more than happy to do this during the inspection or afterward with a phone call or meeting. In addition, this report shouldn’t be a pass or fail; it should be used to offer leverage and safety for the homebuyers. We work for the homebuyers, and our goal is to give them as much information as they need to negotiate a fair deal. Our hope is that our report — whether it’s good or bad — can be used to better position the buyer and offer peace of mind as the sale goes forward. We can help your clients decide if this home is still perfect for them or if they need to keep looking. Recommend your clients to us, and we’ll help them feel safe in the home of their dreams.
