When the home builder says it will be finished in ONE WEEK ;)
When I went out to the home last week, the super on site told me to come back in one week. I confirmed with him 8 a.m. exactly 1 week from that day. So many things in this home were not finished for my client. They were closing just a day or two after I did the inspection. You can see in the video where I tested the GFCI breaker and it wouldn't stay on. The builder showed up during the inspection and tested all of the smoke detectors and got them to beep while I was there. But...the circuit!
My client pays extra money for me to inspect a property before they sign off on it. NOT when the builder determines and before the work is finished. It wastes my time and my clients time to have to review all of the silly mistakes that haven't been fixed or finished yet. And my money! I did not charge them for the trip I took from Gilbert to Goodyear for the first inspection, and my office confirms every inspection with the seller before it can be scheduled.
There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the buyers and the builders in some developments I have worked in. As a buyer's advocate, everything that happens on that site while I am there will be communicated to my client. My clients won't buy the best homes if I am not questioning everything.
The younger picture of me was from when my dad and mom were building their dream home. I think those same clothes are back in style now! Thanks for watching and listening to me complain. This inspection should not have been so difficult for me and my client. I don't blame them for being stressed out on this one.
